Episode 68: New Members
All of Squad Eleven was sitting on a bench, Kenpachi standing behind them, leaning on the back.
The Kinkage was standing across from them.
"Kenpachi is going to lead a division. This division will directly attack the Akatsuki- with a high chance of the members getting killed. Unlike the other divisions, people won't get assigned to this division, but they need to sign up for it."
Ikkaku grinned. "Sounds like fun!"
The Kinkage handed the four of them a handful of papers.
"Each of you fill one out for yourself -aside from Kenpachi- and then hang the rest up around the village. Some people are hanging them up in other villages, don't worry."
Kenpachi nodded. "Alright. Let's go." He said, walking away.
The Kinkage put his hand in his pocket. An ANBU ninja teleported next to him.
"What do you need?" The Kage asked.
"Lord Kinkage, I would like to know what we're going to be doing with Kenpachi after this war."
"What do you mean?"
"The title Kenpachi was only created for military asset. If all the Shinobi lands are forming an alliance, then we'd be at peace. There would be no need to have such a beast in our village."
The Kinkage clenched his fist. "Tell me. What will the other Village do with their Jinchiriki?"
"The difference between Kenpachi and Jinchiriki is that Kenpachi is a demon. And Jinchiriki have demons sealed inside of them."
The Kinkage punched him in the face, and sent him flying backwards.
"Lord Kinkage..."
"You don't understand anything. Kenpachi is just a human. Maybe he enjoys fighting but it doesn't matter. He is still a person."
Rinji was starring at the sign for the Suicide Division. Tatsuzo put his hand on his shoulder. "I'm leading a division too. You're the only one from Gosuke's Squad Eleven that isn't leading one... besides him of course."
Rinji looked back at the paper. "If I don't sign up for this, I'll probably be in your division, Tatsuzo."
"Your Jutsu would be better if you're under Kenpachi."
Rinji nodded. "Alright, I'll do it." He ripped off a small portion of the sign, and he wrote his name on it. He went off to find Kenpachi, because he was supposed to turn it into him.
Several days later, the Suicide Division meant right outside the Steel Village.
Yumichika was leaning against the wall surrounded the village. Ikkaku was sitting next to him, and Akagi had her arms crossed standing at Yumichika's other side.
Kenpachi was standing in front of Ikkaku. Across them Kenpachi there was a group of around fifteen people. Rinji being one of them.
"Rinji, come here."
Rinji walked over and stood next to Kenpachi.
"What the hell is that about?" Asked a voice. He didn't sound angry, he sounded like he just cursed a lot. "Only Steel Ninja are behind you, that's like... discrimination or some shit." Said one of the fighters.
"These are all my allies." Kenpachi stated. "I know how each of them fight. This is how this will be happening. I'm going to rank you all to see how strong you are. I am the Captain. Rinji Toichi here-" Rinji waved to them. "Is the Lieutenant. Ikkaku Madarame is the Third Seat. Akagi Miyosh is the Fourth Seat. Yumichika Ayesegawa is the Fifth Seat."
Yumichika smiled slightly. At least I wasn't Fourth Seat... He thought.
"The four Seated officers will fight you. Rinji will rate you on how strong you are, and if you're too weak than you're going to have to go back. We won't have someone who can't fight here. You don't even need to beat them, just impress Rinji. Right now, I need to do something, so I will not be present."
There was no complaints. Ikkaku stood up, and Yumichika leaned forwards.
"No Shikai or Bankai." Kenpachi said, as he ran up into the air.
"Hell's a Shikai?" Asked the same guy.*
"Don't worry about it." Ikkaku stepped forwards, pointed at him. "You need to shut your mouth and fight me. One on one."
Yumichika and Akagi both got a fighter as well.
Kenpachi was standing in front of two hedge stones, one of them the name Retsu Unohana and the other with the name Yachiru Kusajishi.
"There's a war coming up." Kenpachi said. "I'm going to be a Commander of it. I might die in this battle, but that's okay because this is the right thing to do. I'm going to attack the Akatsuki directly, I don't know what to expect besides the one guy can't be touched unless he's touching you. What I need to do, is attack at the exact same time that he's attacking me. After that... I have no idea about the rest of the Akatsuki."
Kabuto was standing across from Tobi. "So you can bring him back...?"
"Yes, Madara." He smiled. "I also brought back to live one Kage from each village- besides the Steel... who used Metal Style Jutsus to destroy most of their dead. It was disappointing that I didn't get Kenpachi Unohana, but I did get a Kenpachi..."
"Which Kenpachi is that?" Tobi asked.
"Kenpachi Prime. Where the name Kenpachi came from. Kenpachi was his birth name- so he didn't earn it. But he loved fighting so much. He beat the First Kenpachi- Unohana- really badly. When Unohana joined the Steel, she took his name as a homage to him. Unknown to her... he was already dead. He was killed. Stabbed in the back by someone who wasn't even strong."
"Alright, Kabuto. You can work with the Akatsuki for the time being. But that does not mean you are a member."
"Oh... but I have something..." He pulled out a ring. It was the one that Orochimaru had when he left the Akatsuki.
"So you took Orochimaru's ring... I understand." Tobi nodded. "Then you'll be an Akatsuki."
Notes: *I'm not going to describe any of them yet- I'll describe each of them later, do not worry.
