50 miles south of Senkiamon point, Tsunade is using Katsuyu to protect the injured while healing them.
"The battles are starting to pick right now." Tsunade said to herself as she was healing the injured with her abilities.
Meanwhile, Naruto is dealing with the muscle-bound Shinigami as he swings his massive fists at the teenage Shinobi but Naruto evades them dodging a punch aimed towards his face.
"What a puny man you are, then again you humans lack the strength of Shinigami, much less Shinigami men like me ."Ansehelm laughed as he goes towards the Shinobi with his massive arms only to miss again.
"Come on, is all you do talk?" Naruto said bored as he effortlessly dodges the punches.
"Only a puny girly man runs, real men punch and flex their muscles." Ansehelm said to the young Shinobi as he flexes his Muscles and kisses the biceps" Now to show you my power young man! Smash Naito no ken ( ナイトの拳Knight's Fist)" Ansehelm chanted as he summons two massive Knight Gauntlets twice the size of his arms which produce Lighting around them.
"All you did was make yourself move slower and your arms to heavy!" Naruto said to the man.
"Oh yeah dodge this!" Ansehelm roared as he goes to punch Naruto but he dodges the punch as the punch produces a shockwave uplifting the ground." Take this !" Ansehelm shouted as he comes at Naruto with a series of extremely fast punches, Naruto evades the attacks dodging the attack.
"Come on this is hardly worth the effort!" Naruto said to the big burly Shinigami as he remained unimpressed by his striking strength and speed as he evaded punches which casually uplifted chunks of the ground with him throwing 4 punches per second which Naruto easily dodged while barely moving his feet from its original position.
"Not bad you little shit! You look like you can run away well, however, it's time you find out there's no running away from the mighty Oshu Captain of Sqaud 8, Captain Ansehelm." the burly muscle bound captain laughed as he flexed his muscles and they bludge so much with veins coming out of the biceps " Bankai:Kishi no Karada (騎士の体 Knight's Body) Ansehelm summons a full suit of Knight armor around his body and becomes 16 feet tall.
"So all you did became bigger?" Naruto said to the brutish Shinigami clad in Knight Armor seemingly unimpressed.
"I bet you're just talking a big bravado you puny insect, in this form, I'm as powerful as the Legendary Captain of Sqaud 7. Now time to face the mighty signature attack, the Kiloton Punch" Ansehelm laughed as he moves his right hand around rotating it vertically winding up his punch generating electricity around his arm "Kami no Hōkai Suru Ikazuchiken(神の崩壊する雷拳 God's Collapsing Thunder Fist)" Anshelm chanted as he swing s his punch towards Naruto creating a massive lightning blast that engulfs everything with a large radius around him and Naruto.
The other Captains were surprised to see their captain taking this seriously, Kakashi clashes his Tano against the Sqaud 6 Captain's Zanpakuto which resembled a European Claymore sword.
"Looks like Anshelm is going all out, that poor kid is a fool dropping his guard towards him." Cornelia said bluntly as she holds back Kakashi's Tanto.
"Maybe you're the one who left their guard down." Kakashi replied as he said with a nonchalant tone.
Anshelm then looked shocked as his massive armored fist was caught in one hand by Naruto with his open palm not even phased by the Lightning.
"I possible, he caught a Captain's Bankai with his bare hand!" Cornelia Civornadon said shocked to see one of the most physically imposing captains stopped in his tracks by a young teenage boy.
"NO! This has to be a mistake how can a puny noodle armed weakling catch my manly fists of Lightning?" Anshelm shouted as he struggled to move his rm being held by Naruto's vice grip like strength as he couldn't move.
"Seriously that all you got, you're nothing compared to the previous Captains i fought!" Naruto replied as he used his right hand to charge up a Rasengan."Rasengan" Naruto chanted as he hits the giant Shinigami with his Rasengan knocking several meters into a wall.
"Urrgh!" Anshelm grunted as he passes out and his Zanapkuto reverts back to normal.
Cornelia looked shocked at seeing Anshelm fall so easily.
"He defeated Anshelm with one blow!" Cornelia said shocked to see Anshelm fall in front of her.
"Told you, i wouldn't worry about him if i were you "Kakashi said to the captain as he threw 5 kunai at her but she cuts them up.
"Hmm, you must have the impression I'm the same as normal captains, I'm 10 times more powerful than a mere average captain."Cornelia replied as she swings her blade knocking Kakashi back which he barely blocked the slash with his Tanto.
"She's strong!" Kakashi said to himself as he sees the Captain go to use her Shikai.
"Stab!Ten no taron (天のタロンHeavenly Talon)" Corneilla chanted as she unveils her Znapakuto as a purple aura covers the blade and transforms them a Raiper like a blade that is shaped like a Talon of a bird.
"She's powerful, much stronger than the other captains i fought before...I gotta rely on my training to prevail here." Kakashi said to himself as he prepared to do battle with her.
Meanwhile, the captain of Sqaud 11 grinned seeing Naruto defeat the Captain of Sqaud 8 so easily.
"Now you got me ready to fight! Pankratos Davinia, i'm the Kenjo of Oushu, Captain of Sqaud 11, prepare yourself!"Pankratos Davinia said to Naruto as he drew his sword ready to fight Naruto with a toothy grin.
"Bring it, you're next !" Naruto replied as he was ready to fight.
"Burn Fūin Kaen Doragon Ha (封印火炎ドラゴン刃 Sealed Flame Dragon Blade )" Pankartos chanted as he unleashes his Shikai turning his blade into a giant claymore with a flaming tip.
"A sword of flames?" Naruto asked as e sees the sword come towards him.
"Taste the fury of my dragon blade" Pankartos chanted as he swings his sword and generates a large flaming dragon-shaped fireball resembling a European Dragon towards Naruto which Naruto dodges.
"Whoa, that's strong." Naruto said to himself.
"Perhaps you can entertain me a bit." Pakaratos smiled as he licks his lips excited for battle.
Meanwhile, Sakura was up against her opponent who was the Captain of Sqaud two who was throwing Kunai at her, Sakura throws her own Kunai at her back which the Kunai clashes back at her. Sakura sees the Captain wearing her Haroi with her face covered in a mask with her having paleish skin with long brown hair in a ponytail wearing a ninja-like outfit on.
"So this is a Captains power ?" Sakura said shocked as the kunai effortlessly chops a tree down.
"You're not too bad on your feet Shinobi, but you can't hope to match my speed with such clumsy movements." the Captin said to her.
"You talk alot for someone trying to kill me." Sakura stated.
"Perhaps we should introduce ourselves, I'm Captain of Sqaud 2 o the Sealth force Ivanka Eglantine, those ho hear my name fear me and fear my potential." the Captain said to Sakura.
"And i'm Sakura Haurno, trained under Lady Tsunade, i won't lose to you." Sakura replied.
"Let's skip the song and dance and do this! Flap Tsuinfarukonwa(ツインファルコン羽Twin Falcon Wings )" Ivanka chanted as she transforms her Zanpakuto into two twin fans.
"She summoned two fans?" Sakura said to herself as she readied herself
Before she realized, her opponent dashed towards her Sakura evades the slash attempt against her with her reflexes and blocks the second strike wit her elbow which gut cut by the fan edges.
"It's useless, blocking me won't stop my attacks." Invakana smiled as she goes to kick Sakura but Sakura does the kick
'She's fast!:" Sakura said to herself as she holds her left elbow to stop the bleeding with her chakra healing.
"Taker this!" Ivanka shouted as she swings her fans creating a rain of feather-like Kunai from the swung fans directions towards Sakura which Sakura was seemingly hit by blocking but it hit a Subsistion long, Sakura then leaps into the air and tries to attack Ivanka
"Heaven Kick of Pain!" Sakura chanted as she attempts to hit the ground with her destructive kick which creates a massive crater in the ground but Ivanka evades it and hits Sakura in the shoulder with several feathers like attacks "Urrgh"
"That attack is far too slow to catch me!" Ivanka laughed as she then kicks Sakura into a wall several meters away.
"She's so fast, to think she's merely in Shikai!"Sakura said to herself.
Meanwhile at Soul Beach.
Ichigo an Ao are fighting against each other in an intense battle within the middle of the large beach. Ichigo evades attacks from the veteran Shinobi as he barely evades a palm strike aimed at his chest.
"He's fast!" Ichigo said to himself as he barely evades the attacks from Ao he sees him leap towards him.
"Water Style : Water Needle Jutsu!" Ao chanted as he threw water needles towards Ichigo but Ichigo slashes them with his Shikai blocking them
"Getsuga Tensho!" Ichigo chanted as he swings his blade creating a large wave towards Ao
"Eight Trigrams Rotation" Ao countered as he uses Rotation to completely stop the attack in his tracks moving his body in motion.
"He's stronger than the other SHinobi i fought before." Ichigo said to himself as he gets ready to use Bankai.
"You Shinigami are quite swift to be able to evade my attacks, however, i already have you beat, as long as i use my Byagugan, i can predict your movements and take you down attacking your internal organs," Ao explained to Ichigo.
"I see, but try matching my speed with this! Bankai"Ichigo chanted as he unleashes his Bankai against Ao creating a wave of energy around himself ready to fight Ao.
"Hmmm, looks like you are going to be quite the fight." Ao said to Ichigo as Ao gets into the Eight Trigrams fighting stance.
Meanwhile, Chad dodges attacks from Jotaro Akebino, the current wielder of the Kabutowari and Captain of the Heavy Infantry Unit within Kirikagure. He clashes with the brute as his massive Hammer like sword pushes Chad back,
"Not bad, you're quite tough but there's no defense my Kabutowari can't break " Jotaro laughed as Chad was cut through with his right army taking a gash from the weapon.
"GGARH!" Chad shouted as he was hit with a massive jolt of pain.
"It's useless,Kabutowari can go through any defense. Even if you had the defense of a mountain-sized Earth Wall, you can't hope to fight against the mighty strength Kabutowari ." Jotrao bragged as he goes to attack the young Fullbringer.
"If i can't defend, i will attack!" Chad replied as he goes to attack the young Shinobi with a charging punch only for the Shinobi to block his punch with his hammer
"GRRAAAH!" Chad grunted as he was brought to his knees due to punching the hammer.
"You're far too weak, you can't hope to overcome Kabutowari's might " Jotraro said to Chad as Chad gets back up.
"An attack too powerful to block I'm in serious trouble if i don't do something," Chad said to himself.
"Perhaps i can toy with you a bit before i find some Captains to kill, right now you're barely a challenge." Jotrao said to the young Fullbringer as he activates his Jutsu "Hidden Mist Jutsu" Jotaro chanted as he covers the whole battlefield in Hidden Mist.
"I can't sense him!" Chad said to himself as he sees an ax attached to the hammer coming towards him which he barely dodged, he then quickly reliates "El Directo!" Chad chanted as he shoots a massive blast from his right hand punching the air as he shoots his blast towards the direction only to fail to connect as the Kaboutwari user punches the ground with his hammer creating an earth wall to block the attack. He then appears behind Chad.
"Over here!" Jotaro goes to stab from the back only for the Fullbringer to block with his shield arm however his ax blade easily pierces through his shield arm.
"GRAACH!" Chad moaned in pain however, Chad grabs his blade with his right hand
"What?!" Jotaro said shocked to see him moving his Left hand
"La Muerte!" Chad countered as he punches the young Shinobi at point-blank range creating a shockwave. However, Chad realizes he punched the Hammerhead again "AARRGH !" Chad shouted.
"Not bad, you almost had me there but once again, you're too slow to match my attack speed.." Jotaro arrogantly laughed as Chad held onto his bleeding left hand.
Meanwhile, Uryu was dodging the needles thrown towards him as he sees the needle sword coming at him only to fire an arrow to knock it back from him
" Where is he?" Uryu said to himself as he sees the needle sword come towards him again.
"Gotcha!" Nori said quietly as Nurbari reaches closer to Uryu only for Uryu to dodge the attacks again.
" I gotta find him, one hit and I'm done for!" Uryu said to himself as he sees the needle easily preice through a boulder with a clean hole the diameter of the needle sword come out of the rock and see it heading towards him but he detects his opponent's presence"There!" Uryu said to himself as he shoots an arrow towards the drieciton of the string only to miss.
"Missed me !" Ori laughed as Uryu barely dodged the needles sword as it grazes his right shoulder.
"Damn! He's fast, worse his weapon is so light and so thin it's hard to detect !" Uryu said to himself. He then barely dodges another hit which grazes his back"GAAR!" Uryu groaned as he felt the pain
"You can't evade it forever Shinigami!" Nori said to him.
"I'm not a Quincy!" Uryu replied as he shoots a bunch of arrows towards his direction but none of them connect. "These guys are stronger than any opponent I've faced so far! They're definitely Captain level fighters" Uryu said to himself.
Meanwhile, Tasuki evades the wave of explosions caused by the sword swing of the attacker as he creates massive explosions everywhere from his sword swings. Tatsuki jumps in the air evading the explosions
"Not bad, you're quite agile, however, you can't evade me forever." the swordsman said to Tatsuki as Tatsuki struggles to get any closer to him as massive explosions are caused by the arc of his sword swing
"Toraisei(虎の威勢Dashing Tiger)" the Shinobi chanted as flames appear around the fingertips to attempt hit the swordsman square in the chest but he blocks the attack, she's then knocked back by the shockwave of the explosion.
"Not bad but it's not good enough!" Gnpachi said to the group as he swings his sword creating another massive explosion.
"I can't get any closer to him, no wonder Ichigo and the others had a hard time against them, these Sinobi are monsters." Tatsuki said to herself as she was up against Ginpachi.
"Take this !" Ginpachi shouted as he raises his sword vertically uplifting rock with the shockwave which then rains down on Tatsuki but Tatsuki dodges the falling rocks and readies to counter-attack.
"Washitsume Jōshōshi (ワシ爪上昇しRising Eagle claw )" Tatsuki chanted as she goes dor a powerful uppercut dashing towards her attacker with flames on her fist however her punch is blocked again.
"Try again!" Ginpachi laughed as he ignites his sword and creates an explosives wave which Tatsuki narrowly evaded which the shockwave knocked her into a rock.
"URRGH!" Tatsuki grunted as she hits the rock cracking it.
"Got ya!" Ginpachi shouted as he goes to swing his sword at Tatsuki but she narrowly dodges as he spilts the rock in half and creates another explosion. Tatsuki then goes for another attack.
"Toraisei(虎の威勢Dashing Tiger)" Tatsuki chanted as she does a high-speed dashing punch however the swordman evaded the attack.""Maitiken (マイティ剣Mighty Sword)" Tatsuki chanted as she tries to do an attack is an overhead karate chop to the neck but she's blocked again.
"Too Slow !" Ginpachi smirked as he swings his blade towards Tatsuki but Tatsuki ducks down evading the horizontal slash.
"Shiwashi (死のワシEagle of Death) " Tatsuki chanted as she punches her opponent in the groin
"Grrr!Dirty bitch!" Ginpachi grunted as he was brought to his knee being hit in the balls, she then punches him in the head and Torso three times and finishes with an upward punch that sends him flying into the air
"Now time to attack him with the final strike!" Tatsuki said to herself as she jumps to air as he falls to the ground as she finishes her move with flying double chop however he moves his sword to block the attack.
"Missed!" Ginpachi smiled as he created a massive shockwave blowing back Tatsuki.
"Urrgh! He's strong, I never fought anyone this strong!" Tatsuki said to herself.
Back at Las Noches
Aizen is watching the war unfold within the tv screen as SHinobi and SHinigami fight each other, just as planned by him.
"Seems like the war is going exactly as planned!" Aizen said to himself as he drinks his tea watching the screen.
Meanwhile, Rudobon and his Exequias army were guarding the front gate/door of Las Noches.
"Calaveras any reports of suspicious activity?" Rudobon asked.
"No sir, seems like there's no activity around Las Noches that's off." the Calaveras answered.
"After recent events, we can't take chances and let anyone through. With the Akatsuki out on their mission and the Espada looking for the former 3rd Espada, we're very vulnerable to a Rouge Arrancar attack again. Aizen has ordered all fraccions and Numeros to remain on high alert until the Espada returned back."
"So when's Aizen going to deploy us into the war? " the Calaveras asked.
"When the time is right and when he calls for us to arms, for now, we must guard our homeland" Rudobon replied.

Meanwhile, Naruto battled against Captain of Sqaud 11 Pankartos who's coming at him with his attacks using his flaming Zanpakuto.
"Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto chanted as he created 3 shadow clones and throw kunai at the Shinigami w ho casually swings his sword to melt them all." Whoa that's a hot flame."
"Fūin Kaen Doragon Ha (封印火炎ドラゴン刃 Sealed Flame Dragon Blade ) is a mighty flame second to only the Captain Commander of the AJinao Gotei 13's flames, it can melt iron with ease as this allows me to generate the flames of Dragons." Pankratos said to Naruto as he launched another fireball towards Naruto but Naruto dodged and create five clones to attack the Captain
One clone charges from behind the captain to strike him with a Kunai but he evades the attack and slashes down the clone, the second one charges towards him the front only to be cut in half , he then generates a friewave bruning the remaining clones to see the real naruto charge towards him with a Kunai to clash against his blade.
"Not bad but not good enough!" Pankratos smiled has he melted the Kunai and cuts Naruto in half only to see it was a clone."What?" he said as he was grabbed from behind.
"Rasengan" Naruto chanted as he dashes at the Shinigami with his Rasengan in hand rushing towards his opponent but he moves his hand free and blocks with his sword creating a massive explosion. However, the sword absorbs the explosion,"What?"
'Suprised? Any explosive or fire attacks caused would be absorbed by my blade," Pnakratos laughed.
"This guy is kinda like Kakashi sensei's opponent before, i gotta be careful around him. I gotta think of a way to beat him without wasting too much power." Naruto said to himself as he watched his opponent planned the next movie.
"You almost got me with that last attack, how about we step up the game and use Bankai to deal with you. "Pankratos said to him as he draws out his sword and puts it in his sheath"Bankai:Tokihanata ten no doragon'āmā (解き放た天のドラゴンアーマーUnleashed Heavenly Dragon Armor)" Pankartos chanted as he summons an intense flame around his body
Pankrartos summons a massive Dragon creature made of fire that covers his body in a metallic Armor which turns into a massive mech like Armor suit with giant metallic wings covered with flames. The Armor becomes twice as wide and twice as large as Pankrartos normal body. His hands are covered in massive gauntlets with his gauntlets forming matches sized claws. The Armor is colored with Orange and red scale-like chainmail with armor plates protecting the back, chest, arms, and legs with his helmet resembling that of a Dragon's head.
"Whoa, he's become a dragon!" Naruto said shocked to see the mech like a dragon.
"Now then, feel the power of the Dragon!" Pankratos smiled as he dashes towards Naruto to attack him. but he gets knocked back by the Mech size dragons right arm into a wall.
"Graah, damn that hurt!" Naruto said to himself as he struggled to get back up.
"Now taste the might of this Dragon. Doragon naito no tsume ( ドラゴンナイトの爪 Claw of the Dragon Knight) " Pankraots said to Naruto as he goes to strike Naruto with flames on his claws which Naruto dodges as it easily vaporizes the wall Naruto was at.
"Man that's hot, not even Fireball Jutsu are that hot, just what are these flames." Naruto said to himself as he saw another attack coming. " Shadow Clone Jutsu" Naruto chanted as he created 10 shadow Clones of himself.
"Pathetic!" Pankratos laughed as he does a seires of super-fast punches killing all 10 of the shadow clones.
"Man he's fast for something that huge. I gotta step it up. Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu !" naruto chanted as creates over 100 Shadow Clones
"Doragon naito no iki (ドラゴンナイトの息Breath of the Dragon Knight)" Pankrato chanted as he closes his mask opening and shoots a massive blast of flames from his breath which creates a wide arc of fire which disperses all the clones at once with flames intense enough to vaporize concrete and melt steel however following that Naruto appears above him
"Rasengan" Naruto chanted as he knocks the Mecha Dragon back a bit with the Rasengan hitting its head but the metal armor tanked the hit." Damn not a scratch!" Naruto said to himself not able to put a scratch on him. "He's tougher than i thought, I might need to use that at this rate but Toad Sage said that i only got three shots at using this power, i must save it for the guy who killed Jiariya Sensei and this Ten Tailed Jinchrucki and the leader of the Akatsuki, i can't waste Sage Mode on some Captain." Naruto said to himself as he is then knocked back by the Metalic Dragon Shinigami.
" Pathetic is this the best you can do? I was hoping you were much stronger than that to defeat Asnhelm in one blow." Pankratos said to Naruto. " My Bankai:Tokihanata ten no doragon'āmā (解き放た天のドラゴンアーマーUnleashed Heavenly Dragon Armor) can absorb ant form of Energy that generates heat, this makes your attacks useless to me as i can tank Explosive force and repulsive forces with ease." Pankratos said to Naruto as he laughs over Naruto.
"This guy is going to be one tough fight."Naruto said to himself as he was at the corner.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Cornelia clash with each other as he engaged in a close-range fight with his Lighting charged Tanto against the Captain's Talon shaped dodges the first strike ducking then Corneila hits the blade down on the ground with the second slash which Kakashi evades by rolling sideways, Conreila then uses Shunpo to appear in front of Kakashi and goes for a rising vertical slash wave but Kakashi avoids 5 Reiatsu charged vertical slashes and one final sweeping horizontal slash . The force of the final horizontal slash cuts down a whole wall.
"Hane no kaze(羽の風Feather Wind)" Corneila chanted as she swings her rapier creating a pressure wave but Kakashi dodges the slash as the wind pressure cuts a wall in half.
"Hadō # 33 . Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)." Kakashi chanted as he shoots a blue fireball towards Corneila
"Hadō #31. Shakkahō (赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon)." Cornelia countered as she shoots a fireball to cancel out the blast
"Nadegiri (撫で斬り, Killing Stroke) # 15 Hāfumūn no Shi(ハーフムーンの死Half Moon Death) "Kakashi chanted as he swings his blade in a horizontal slash area and creates an energy wave with the first slash but the Captain evades it
"Hane no kaze(羽の風 Feather Wind)" countered as she slashed Kakashi in half but it was a Sutubtition log
"Hadō # ōhō (雷吼炮, Thunder Roar Cannon) " The firs Kakashi clone chanted as he fires a massive wave of yellow energy at Cornelia
"Hadō # 59 . Tsurara(つららIcicle Spear) " The second Kakashi clone chanted as he generates an icicle spear.
"Hadō # 54 Haien (廃炎, Abolishing Flames )" The 3rd clone chanted as he fires a blast of purple spiritual energy.
"Hadō # 33. Sōkatsui (蒼火墜, Blue Fire, Crash Down)" 3 clones chanted as they shoot blue fireballs at Kakashi.
"Hadō # 31. Shakkahō(赤火砲, Red Fire Cannon)" 4 clones chanted as they fire a ball of red energy at Cornelia.
"Īguru-fū uingu (イーグル風ウイング c Eagle Wind Wing): Corneilla countered as she summoned a wall of wind protecting her from the attacks as they explode around her.
"She's tougher than i thought, i gotta get serious!"Kakashi said to himself as he was ready to fight.
"Not bad, you almost had me there! To copy our Shinigami Kido and our Zanjutsu so effectively, you fight much like us, you're the Shinobi know as Kakashi Hatake, the one who captured two Captains of the Gotei 13." Cornelia said Kakashi.
"Correct! We're here to put an end to your plans and end the war. We're here to Rescue Gaara and end this!" Kakashi said to the Captain with her laughing.
"Unforuenartly for you i'm the Daughter of the Captain Commander himself, i'm stronger than any Captain you fought before, prepare yourself. Bankai: Ten īgurubureido (天イーグルブレイドHeavenly Eagle Blade)"Cornelia chanted as she twirls her blade as she gets 8 large winged swords that summon her with an aura of an eagle around her with her getting too Rapiers resembling talons.
" I had to get serious!"Kakashi said to himself as he was ready to fight her.
Cornelia goes to attack with her 8 swords which Kakashi dodges the attacks. The swords telekinetically hover over her as they try to attack him which he evades.
"Gotcha!" Kakashi said to the Captain as he goes to slash at her but she blocks with her blades and sends one towards him which he ducks down to evade.
"Not bad but try evading this!" Cornelia chanted as she sends another blade down towards him but he spins his Tanto around charged with Lightning to block the incoming 4 swords lunging at him.
Both of them clash attacks with each other blocking each hit from another. Both begin their highspeed clashes with each other clashing with rapid slashes with Kakashi evading attacks from her as she uses her blades to keep him on the defensive.
"This woman is tough, I can't afford to waste too much Charka, i need it against the Captain Commander so using my Sharrigan is out of the question here. i have to find a way to beat her without exhausting myself, the entire Shinobi Alliance is depending on me to make the critical sneak attack with Kaumi, without that, we have no chance against Yamamoto." Kakashi said to himself as he was holding his sword thinking his strategy.
Meanwhile, Sakura was on the defensive with several kunai within her as she was desperately evading attacks from her opponent Ivanka. She swings her fans creating torrents of wind as the rain of feathers ht everything destroying everything around Sakura as she barely evades them a bit one hits her in the ground
"Excellent looks like you burned yourself out and is too worn out to actually attack, now to finish this!" Ivanka said to Sakura as she goes up close to slash her but she slashed a log "WHAT?
"CHAHA!" Sakura shouted as she punches Ivanka straight in the face and knocks her to a wall.
"Damn it how did you get me?" Ivanka said to her as Sakura stood there
"Your attacks are very fast, fortunately, they're also easy to predict, furthermore while you're attacks are too fast for me to fully dodge, they don't have enough stopping power to do a knock out punch, hence you have to come t0o close up with the fan to strike me, the projectiles are not powerful enough to fatally wound people, it's to wound them and wear them down so you can get a finishing strike with the sharp blades of your fan like weapons,"Sakura explained to Ivanka about her own Zanpakuto.
"Hmmm not bad, you figured that out in such a short period of time." Ivanka said impressed by Sakura's intellect as she struggles to get back up with blood coming from her forehead from a small gash."However, if you think i'm fast now, try matching this speed. Bankai:Tsuinfarukonwa:(ツインファルコン羽赤ファルコンを操縦Twin Falcon Wings :Flying Red Falcon)" Ivanka chanted as she gains a cloak around her body which is a red cloak that becomes a skintight jumpsuit, she also gets wings on her forearms and arms and her shoes gain talon-like blades.
Sakura was ready to fight her. However before she can move, Ivanka was in front of her and punches Sakura in the face, knocking her through several walls.
"ARRGH!" Sakura shouted as she was in pain. She then sees Ivanka then instantly arrive above her and goes to attack her with her talon-like blades on her feet but Sakura evades the strike and leaps into the air and goes to punch the Captain but she evades the attack.
"Too Slow!" Ivanka strikes her with her wings cutting Sakura across the chest knocking her down.
"Damn it, she's gotten so much faster" Sakura said to herself,
Sakura and Ivanka clash however Sakura was barely evading the attacks as Sakura is moving to slow to even land a single hit while she barely evades the deadly blows from the Captain of Sqaud 2 of the Oshu division.
" Don't be ashamed, you're the first to survive this long against my Bankai's speed, my Bankai is on par with the Great Shunpo Goddess of Sqaud 2 from the Aijano Division. You're quick to have survived this long but your fighting style is clumsy, you can't match my speed."Ivanka explained to Sakura as Sakura struggled to keep up.
"RAAWR" Sakura shouted as she tries to move as fast as possible to punch Ivanka but Ivanka easily evades the punch and appears behind her.
"Hadō #73. Sōren Sōkatsui." Ivanka chanted as she shoots a massive blast of blue fire towards Sakura but Sakura evades blowing up a whole building behind Sakura as the building remains to burn with blue flames.
"That was close," Sakura said to herself as she was in the mid-air when she sees the captain aiming a blast towards her.
"Hadō #54. Haien." Ivanka chanted as she shoots a purple blast of fire at Sakura completely vaporizing Sakura but was revealed to be a burning log. Sakura then appears above her and throws a massive boulder towards Ivanka
"CHAA Sakura shouted as she chucks a boulder at the Captain but the Captain slices the boulder in half.
"Useless!" Ivanka said to Sakura as she goes to strike her down but it was a substitution log. Skaura leaps behind her and as she goes to punch Ivanka.
"GOTHCA!" Sakura shouted as her fist was inching towards Ivanka's face only for Ivanka to instantly appear behind her.
"Hadō #4. Byakurai" Ivanka countered as she shoots a beam of Lightning towards Sakura but Sakura was able to easily evade the lightning blast as it slice through a wall. Sakura evades the Feather rain as she flaps her wings, however one wing hits her.
"Urrgh!" Sakura grunted as she felt as she was poisoned.
"These wings are coated with a special poison capable of weakening and causing physical pain until your paralyzed and unable to move. So rare i have to resort to such an attack but it seems you're the first in 40 years to force me to use this, now then, prepare youself." Ivanka explained to Sakura as Sakura struggles to move.
"Damn it, as if this wasn't bad enough the speed gap between us, it's also the posion as well." Sakura said to herself as she struggles to stand.
Meanwhile at Soul Beach.
Ichigo was clashing with Ao as he fights against him. Ichigo was on the defensive against the Jounin and Hunter Nin Captain.
"Water Style : Water Needle Storm Jutsu!" Ao chanted as he threw water needles towards Ichigo shooting hundreds of water needles laced with Charka at Ichigo firing them at rapid-fire speeds
"Kuro Tsukigata ( 黒月形 Black crescent Moon ) " Ichigo chanted as he swings his sword 360 degrees to create a barrier like blast to deflect the attacks at him, Ao, however, dashes close to Ichigo at his blindspot"So fast!" Ichigo said to himself as he was left vulnerable to attack.
"Eight Trigrams 64 Palms" Ao chanted, as he strikes Ichigo multiple times with his precise Gentle fists, strikes hitting Ichigo multiple times within the body and then knocking him back with a single palm strike. Ichigo was knocked back into his Shikai state!
"Urrgh! Crap i'm back in Shikai state again!" Ichigo stated as he was worn out,
"Seems like you Shinigami aren't that different from us Shinobi, while your Pathway networks are different Gentle Fist works the same regardless, it's no wonder i was chosen by the Mizukage to capture you Ten Tailed Jincrhuiki. I've cut your power flor from your body, now i have you were i want you!" Ao explained to Ichigo.
"Not bad, i guess i gotta get serious!" Ichigo replied as he summons his Hollow Mask and covers his face with a Hollow mask covering his face with his mask. He surrounds himself with a Black and red aura" Bankai!" Ichigo chanted as he goes back to his Bankai stance;"Tensa Zangestu"
'Damn it even Gentle Fist isn't effective enough against him, his power is that much, i couldn't fully seal it." Ao said shocked of Ichigo's power, he then sees Ichigo leap in the are.
"Saku Getsuga ( 裂く 月牙Ripping Moon Fang)" Ichigo chanted as he fires a series of 20 Getsugas towards AO but theShinob counters
"Eight Trigrams Rotation!" Ao countered as he deflects the blasts away with his rotation attack only to see Ichigo dash around him
"Zanzō (残像 Afterimage)" Ichigo chanted as he creates 12 afterimages of himself moving at high is barely able to keep up with Ichigo's raw speed within this state.
"He's moving so fast even my Byaugkan is struggling to keep up" Ao said to himself as he struggles to follow his movements.
"Water Style : Water Needle Storm Jutsu!" Ao chanted as he shot hundreds of water needles at the afterimages of Ichigo but he hit all the Afterimages of Ichigo with Ichigo appearing behind Ao and swings his sword creating a wave.
"Kuroi Getsuga(黒月牙; "Black Moon Fang")" Ichigo chant
"Water Style: Exploding Water Shockwave" Ao Coutnerers as he creates a wave fo water which clashes with Gesutga Tensho creating an explosion.
Ichigo and Ao wait for the smoke the clear as they both stand across each other.
"Man this guy is no joke,even with my training i'm having trouble against him." Ichigo said to himself.
"To think I'll be forced to resort to fighting all out against you, if the Gentle Fist isn't enough against you, let's try this. then.Takigakure Style: Watercutting Sword." Ao chanted as he turns the water around him to form into a sword, shaping the water into a sword.
"What, a sword made of water?" Ichigo asked.
"It's a secret technique of Takigakure that i was able to obtain and master that allows me to manipulate water into the form of a sword. It cuts with the pressure and force of an entire waterfall slamming against you rotating at the force of a Water pressure cutter, you're the first one I've used this to battle aside from Sisuhi Uchiha."
"Glad i'm the second guy who will kick your ass then," Ichigo replied.
"Don't be so arrogant boy, you might have the speed on par with Shiusi Uchiha however you lack the skills and talent of him, i will show you how you are out of your league against me. Hidden Mist Jutsu!" Ao chanted as he uses the Jutsu to over the entire battlefield.
"He's blocked out the entire battlefield!" Ichigo said to himself as he struggles to see.
Meanwhile, Uryu was struggling to track his opponent through the Thick mist.
Meanwhile, Ueryu was evading the attacks of his opponent as the sewing needle sword moved silently in the air throughout the Mist Uryu shoots arrows at the direction he sees the projectile.
"Klavier (クラヴィーア, Kuravīa; German for "Piano")"Uryu chanted as he shoots a multitude of arrows with one hand to draw out the attention of his opponent.
"Firing your arrows won't help you much Shinigami if you can't see me, your arrows can't do anything." Nori said to Uryu taunting him as the sword hits Uryu from behind.
"GRRACH!" Uryu grunted in pain as he falls to the ground as the sewing sword percied through his sides.
"Hmm perfect, looks let it's all over for you!" Nori laughed as he uses his sewing sword to hit Uryu many times as his body was being covered in the string and his body is sewed up to a tree."Now time to finish you off Stitching Spider Jutsu" Nori smiled only to notice his sword won't move"hat's going on? Why won't Nurabi move?" Nori then sees that his swing sword is covered in Blue Reishi ropes and notices Uryu's body dsappear revealing his hit a Hologram.
"Vorsprung ( German for Projection )" Uryu chanted as he reveals it was a hologram Nori hit.
"No impossible, i got you, how did you?" Nori shouted.
"You thought the attacks i was firing was at a random pattern, you were wrong, I was firing at the direction of your sword attacks not to hit you but to cover this whole area in Verbindlich ( German for Binding), i knew you were going to keep attacking my blindspots so i purposely drew you out this way, now your sword is covered with the ropes as well as you." Uryu explained to the Seven swordsmen as he struggles to break out.
"Damn you, I won't let you..." Nori shouted only to be unable to break out.
"It's useless, Verbindlich ( German for Binding) are such strong fabrics that a single fiber can withstand an avalanche of rocks Given you're the type that relies on quick attack rather than power, i especially doubt you can break out of that,"Uryu explained to the Shinobi."Brennen (German for Burning ) " Uryu chanted as he drops the Ginto and the Ginto sets Nori on Fire
"GRRRAH!" Nori shouted as he was engulfed in flames.
"Looks like i won in the end!"Uryu replied as the flames quickly die down and nori is left severely injured unable to move. Uryu dusts himself off " Now time to assit the landing forces, this guy was powerful but not Kage class, I have a trump card for one of them." Uryu said to himself as he walks around the battlefield.
Meanwhile, Chad clashed with Jotaro weilding the legendary Kabutowari weapon who was being put on the defensive struggling to see where his opponent was at. Chad remembers what Soifon taught him in training back a month ago
Nearly one month ago
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. Your 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 its human limits." Soifon replied as they resume training.
Present-day
Chad stands there stationary waiting for his opponent to attack with his arms stretched out.
"What a fool, leaving himself open like that, if he's giving up then I'll just finish him off right there. Jotaro smirked as he charges towards Chad with his Kabutowari coming towards Chad.
"There!" Chad smirked as he then vanished before Jotaro's eyes.
"What?" Jotaro shouted shocked that Chad moved so fast.
"Too slow!" Chas said to Jotaro as he evades his blow as it creates a shockwave.
"Damn you, when did you get faster?" Jotaro asked Chad.
"It's more like your movements are too slow and sluggish, you can't hit me with slow movements." Chad said to him which enrages the Shinobi:
"HEHEHE, THINK YOU'RE FUNNY, TRY EVADING THIS ATTACK!" Jotaro goes to smash the ground with his KLabotuwari creating a massive Tsunami of dirt and rocks to rise towards Chad with the shockwave.
"El Directo!" Chad countered as he punches the ground and is propelled up by the blast in the air
"What?!" Jotaro shouted shocked to see Chad counter his attack. Chad then uses the rockets in his right arm to boost his speed towards Jtaor with his left hand coming at him.
"La Muerte!"Chad chanted as he punches Jotaro straight into the stomach knocking him through the ground and creating a large explosion.
Meanwhile, Tatsuki was up against Ginpachi, she seemed to be stumped fighting her opponent as she's unable to get past his defenses.
"Any last words before i blow you to bits? "Ginpachi asked Tatsuki as he was ready to deal with her.
" Just one! Moeruryū (燃える龍Blazing Dragon )" Tatsuki chanted as she summons flames around her hands which then materialize themselves as a pair of special flaming nunchaku. The chain which connects the two handles the nunchaku are made of flames while the two blunt objects are black with spikes on them.
"So you've been holding back on me huh ?" Ginpachi said to her.
"More like this is my first time using this in combat."Tatsuki said to her opponent as she waited for her opponent to attack.
" Ha, what a foolish move, i won't give you the chance to use your new power, take this. Explosive Blade Jutsu: Multiple Explosions of Death" Gnpachi chanted as he swings his blade unraveling a massive long roll of explosive tags that rain down creating a massive explosion and seires of explosions across the battlefield.
However, Tatsuki was protected by a flame barrier around her.
"Was that the best you can do?" Tatsuki asked the swordsman with her smirk.
"Impossible, how can you... NO"! Ginpachi shouted as he dashed towards her but Tatsuki spins her nu chucks and shoots a massive fireball the shape of Chinese Dragon.
"Ryūhōhō ( 龍方法 Way of the Dragon) "Tatsuki chanted as she hits the Shinobi with her power which engulfs the SHinobi in flames as he's knocked into a rock and is knocked out cold. Tatsuki was notably out of breath.
"Damn that took its toll on me, I need to be more careful using that power. Orihime, i will use this power to rescue you." Tatsuki said to herself.
Meanwhile at Northern Hueco Mundo
Ulquiorra and his group have been searching for days for Neliel. Yammy, Nnoitra, Luppi, Szayel, and Wonderweiss.
"Man i haven't had anything to eat within days, we're going to die of hunger at this rate" Luppi whined as he was slowly walking behind him.
"Shut your mouth weakling, you're not the only one who hasn't eaten a damn thing." Ninorta shouted as he was in a very bad mood.
" The sooner we do this stupid search for this bimbo whore, the better." Yammmy stated having little respect for the former Third Espada.
"Keep in mind Yammy, that woman you refer to as a Bimbo whore is the former 3rd Espada." Ulquiorra said nonchalantly.
Wonderwesis was hovering over the ground where he found some plants growing.
"Ahhh..." the braindead Arrancar moaned as he said food he wanted as he tried to grab it.
"FINALLY SOMETHING WE CAN EAT!" Ninorta shouted as he knocks Wonderwesis out of the way.
"Ninorta, what are you doing?" Ulquiorra asked him.
"Eating and non of you faggots can have it, it's all mine."Ninorta laughed.
"No i mean you are aware this isn't far from enemy terrority right? what is a trap?' Ulquiorra advised trying to ignore Ninorta.
"Trap, shnap, i have the strongest Hierro out of the Espada, no way some fucking trap is going to get the best of me."Ninorta laughed as he grabs the plant only to feel a prick on his leg. He then looks down and sees his foot is hit with a crystalline spear."AHHHH FUCK! GODDDAMN IT!"
"HAHAHAHAH!" Yammy laughed
"Very fucking funny, get this damn spear out of my leg. Wait how the hell was my Hierro so easily piereced " Ninorta shouted.
"Oh my, looks like someone made a spear trap made of Crsytlatine which can pierce even Hierro, such a substance is rare in Uceo Mundo and however designed it had to the intention to keep out any Arrancar from breraching this area." Syzael explained to the others as he looked at the spear lodged into Ninrota's leg.
"You fool i warned you not to leave your guard down Ninorta, now you have to pay the price, Yammy remove the spear from the leg." Ulquiorra ordered.
"Are you fucking nuts, that brute would probably pull out my leg trying to do that." Ninorta shouted.
"Fine, we leave you to die of infection then idiot." Yammy replied offended by his remarks.
"FUCK YOU ALL!" Ninorta shouted only to notice he's being pulled back by a thin wire that's dragging him trough the sand" AHHHH SHIT, WHAT'S GOING ON!" Ninotia shouted.
'Something isn't right, he's being dragged away." Ulquiorra said nonchalantly.
"HAHAHAHAH! This is too funny, fucking dumbass had it coming." Luppi stated hysterically laughing.
"And he calls me stupid " Yammy laughed.
"Whoever engineered this trap has to be near Espada level, we need to get back Ninorta."Ulquiorra said to them.
"His fault he was caught off-guard. Let him die!" Yammy stated being a prick.
"He's an Espada, we have to resue him regardless," Ulquorria replied nonchalantly.
Tekkōno Machinotoko Munitions Factory
Sakura was on the ground completely paryazled by Ivanka's feather poisons. Ivanka goes up close to kill her
"Now time to finish you off." Ivanka smiled as she was ready to use her wing blade to finish her off"Goodbye human!" Ivanka said to Sakura as goes fro the finishing blow slashing her throat but it was an illusion."What?" Ivanka shouted shocked to see she hit an illusion, she then sees Sakura appear behind her
"Over here!" Sakura replied as she hits her in the face with her elbow smashing her through several trees.
"How i could've sworn you were hit by the poison, how did you ?" Ivanka shouted as she struggled to get back up.
"Simple, i always carry antiodes to poisons with me. As for the Gnejutsu. I've been practicing on that for a while, Kakashi Sensei always said i had potential in that form of Jutsu., i created a realistic illusion of myself long enough to get you off-guard. In truth, my fighting style is ill-suited for highspeed combat."Sakura explained to her.
"Ha, big mistake admitting this because now i know you're tricks, i won't fall for them twice." Ivanka laughed as she dashed at intense speeds"I 'll just slash you down before you do any handseals to use illusions ." Ivanka laughed as she dashes at extremely high speeds coming towards Sakura, She moves so fast she creates 12 afterimages around Sakura.
"I don't need handsigns...To throw a punch!" Sakura replied as she punches the Captain before she can even react.
"She moved so fast... impossible, was she holding back all this time..." Ivanka said to herself as she passes out.
"That was too close, to think was forced to use that much power so so." Sakura said to herself as she was exhausted." It's still too early to use that technique in combat."
Meanwhile Kakashi and Conreila clash attacks with each other with Conreila having Kakashi on the defensive. Kakashi evades the wind blades coming towards him.
"Earth Style Mud Wall!" Kakashi chanted as he uses the wall to stop the projectiles in place. He then goes to strike her with Lighting Blade but she counters with her attack and stabs him through the chest with her Talon like Rapier"Urrgh"
"Gotcha!" Corneila said to Kakashi only to see she stabbed a Lighting Clone and she gets elecotured badly"URRGGH!"
"Lighting Blade!' Kakashi charges up hos sword and slashes her down with his lightning charged Tanto.
"GRRACH!" Cornelia grunted before she collapsed to the ground.
Meanwhile, Naruto was stumped against his opponent Pankrartos.
"Man, how do i beat him? i can't use Sage Mode just yet, i can't waste that, Rasenshruken, out of the question so how do i defeat him?" Naruto thinks to himself. Naruto then goes for another Rasegan to hit it but it does nothing.
" Fool, I already told you it was useless." Pankratos said to naruto only to notice more clones to barrage him, 20 of them hit him with Rasegans.
"Multi Shadow Clone Jutsu!" Naruto chanted as 100 clones appear and keep hitting him with Rasengans.
"It's Futile!"Doragon naito no iki (ドラゴンナイトの息Breath of the Dragon Knight)" Pankrartos chanted as he shoots a massive wave of fire burning the clones. however, 2,000 more clones appear.
" Naruto Uzumaki, 1k Raasegan Barrage !" all the clones chanted as they hit the Armored dragon-like Bankai 1,000 times, however, the blows start to heave some effect as the armor begins to crack.
" What? Impossible, he's causing my entire Bankai to break under pressure" Pankratos shouted as his Bankai was at its a breaking point.
"There's a limit to how much force you can absorb, now try absorbing this!" the real Naruto chanted as he dashes at him with a massive Rasengan" Giant Rasengan!" Naruto chanted as he hits the tail of the Aromed mech like Bankai of Pnakrartos.
"NOO!" Pankratos shouted as he's knocked away and a huge explosion occurs.
The smoke clears up to reveal that Pankratos was defeated and out cold from the explosion with his Bankai Deactivated.
"Phew that guy was tough, i used up far more charka than i thought i would need too. Still, the fact i can use this more easily now is a testament on how much i improved it."Naruto said to himself as he walks away from the battle.
Meanwhile at Soul Beach.
Ao and Ichigo continue their battle with each other as Ichigos struggles to intercept Ao's stealth attacks. Ichigo and Ao clash attacks with Ichigo's heightened senses able to react to Ao's attacks.
"Water Style : Water Needle Storm Jutsu!" Ao chanted as he threw water needles towards Ichigo shooting hundreds of water needles laced with Charka at Ichigo firing them at rapid-fire speeds but Ichigo dodges the attack.
Ichigo goes to block the slash through at him by Ao with both clashing at high speeds.
"You're tougher than i thought, time to get go all out! Water Style:Exploding Water Shockwave" Ao chanted as he shoots a massive blast of water forming a massive tidal wave and jumps on it to ride the wave as he goes to slash Ichigo down.
"Getgusa Tensho" Ichigo countered as he swings his Bankai down and creates a massive wave of blue enegery which not only blows away the Tidal Wave but blows away Ao knocking him to the ground with his body burned.
"He moved so fast, he attacked so strong... could he be as powerful as the legendary Shisui... worse he could be on the level of a Kage... ow can anyone get this much stronger in merely a month." Ao said to himself as he passes out.
"That guy was tough, no doubt stronger than any Captain I've fought or any Shinobi fought, at this rate, i can take on a Kage with my training." Ichigo said to himself.
Meanwhile, Zetsu appears with his black half as they merge into one.
"Seems like the two sides have both gotten much stronger. White Zetsu said to the Black one
"Perfect, hopefully, everything goes to plan so we can carry out the next step."Black Zetsu replied as they watch from the background.
(A/N: And finally it's done and god did i regret adding the Teniten 7 last minute, this was easily my least favorite chapter having to the writer. having to do over 100 rewrites just to make sure everything is done well, eventually, Dark machines just told me to drop them and have them mostly as background and move on to the interesting fights which would be coming soon. As for Ninrota, he would be okay, for now, stick tune for a conclusion on that)
