Episode 11: Kidpachi's Exposition
Kidpachi, Rinji, and Tatsuzo were standing in front of the Kinkage.
"Congratulations. All three of you have made Chunin."
Kidpachi grinned. "Awesome."
"Sweet!" Rinji pounded the air.
Tatsuzo cracked a smile, and crossed his arms. "I knew we could do it."
Kidpachi and his squad mates were sitting on Tatsuzo's roof.
"I'm going to go off to train. I cannot become strong here. I'm going to become Kenpachi before I get the name."
"What?" Rinji asked. "That doesn't make sense, dude."
"I'm going to deserve the name Kenpachi before I get it. I don't think I deserve it yet. I haven't told the Kinkage yet, but I will in a minute. I'll come back in a few years, so you will see me again. When I come back, I'm going to slay the current Kenpachi, and then I'll take his name. I need you two to make sure that he doesn't get killed in the time that I'm gone. And if he does get killed, make sure it is by someone who will take the name so I can kill them."
"I don't know if we'll be able to do that, but we'll try." Tatsuzo said.
"Thanks. I'm going to tell the Kinkage I'm leaving. Then I'm going to tell someone more important that I'm leaving."
"Who's more important then the Kinkage?" Asked Rinji.
"Yachiru Unohana- the first Kenpachi."
Kidpachi jumped down.
"So you wish to go train, alone?" Asked the Kinkage.
"Yeah." Kidpachi answered. "I'll be fine. I just wanted to get your blessing first- so you could help me leave this place with your Metal Style Jutsus."
"Okay, I'll do it. But I'm going to send a messenger hawk every month and it'll give you missions. Then I'll send another and then they'll send you your money."
"Thank you." Kidpachi nodded. "I must tell someone else that I'm leaving, before I go."
Kidpachi was standing before Unohana.
"Miss Unohana, can I speak with you?"
"You're speaking to me now. What is it?"
"I'm going out of the village to train for a while. I will be back."
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Because you're the person I respect the most. And I want you to know that once I come back, I'll earn the name Kenpachi. And then I'll slay Kiganjo- with one strike."
"Still staying with that one strike thing, I see."
Kidpachi nodded. "Will you allow me to leave?"
"Where will you sleep?"
"Same place I sleep here. I don't have a house, so I just go around and I sleep wherever looks like the softest spot- without actually going into people's houses."
"What will you eat?"
"The Kinkage said that he'd send missions my way with a messenger hawk, and then once I compete them I'd send the competed form back with him and he'd send it back and it'd give me my money- I'll buy food with that any chance I get."
Unohana put her hand on his shoulder. "If you want to go, then go. I have no business to stop you."
Kidpachi nodded. "I'll be off then."
Kidpachi bought a bunch of food, and then he walked out of the village. He looked back, but he didn't have anything behind his eyes- no sadness, no happiness, no anger. It was just emptiness, as if he was just visiting the Steel Village, and he knew that he wasn't going to be there forever. He turned forwards, and he walked out.
Notes: Sorry for the short episode. I didn't want to cramp any extra crap into it, so I didn't. This is the end of the arc, and I'll continue with this story if I get enough favorites and enough positive reviews. But if no one likes it- I won't continue it. Have a nice day, and continue reading Fanfiction.- Hungry Derp.
I forgot to mention this, but after the Kinkage realized that Kidpachi had poor writing skills, he gave him lessons everyday. And Kidpachi's a pretty fast learner.
The rest is bonus- you don't need to read it.
Also- again because this was a short episode- I'm going to give you a little bit of a extra stuff. I'm going to tell you the reason why I picked Kenpachi.
The first thing, is that he's one of my favorite characters. The second thing is more of a writing issue I would have if it was anyone else. It would the the issue with Zanpakuto. They could be Kekkei Genkai, but then how would Rukia giving Ichigo his powers work? And why wouldn't Ichigo's sisters have it? So Ichigo is ruled out.
People don't need to make a gesture to awaken their Zanpakuto, and they have a frigging sword in their hand so they can't make handsigns. And what about Kido? That could be like side jutsus. But again, they have a sword in their hand they can't make handsigns. And then they have the incantations- no one in Naruto says incantations. So that'd just be weird and random. And then the way Kido is organized- the numbers. In Naruto it's not Fire Style: Number One, Fireball Jutsu! Or Water Style: Number Thirty, Water Dragon Jutsu! But in Bleach that's how they're organized- Hado, Number Thirty One! Shakkaho!
So it was pretty much down to Kenpachi Zaraki, Shunsui Kyoraku (if he never releases his Zanpakuto), and Shuhei Hisagi (if he doesn't release his Zanpakuto). I don't think Shuhei is main character quality, and Shunsui would be harder to write because he'd be chasing women all the time but the only girls that'd be in her squad would be twelve- if this story was going to be about Shunsui he would have started off as a Jonin.
I will have to encounter this problem head on later with Ikkaku and Yumichika. But I'll face it then. Have a nice day- stay frosty my friends. Favorites, follows, and reviews are greatly appreciated. This is Hungry Derp and as always- have an awesome day. (Forneverworld reference a Youtuber who does anime reviews).
