Episode 73: Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Grimmjow was stumbling down a large road. He was bleeding badly from the arm that Kenpachi recently cut off, and his nose was bleeding from the several times that Rinji beat him down. He lifted his hand to his nose, trying to slow the bleeding to no avail. He groaned as he continued to stumble down the road, and he fell into someone who suddenly appeared right in front of him. Grimmjow's eyes began to flutter. He tried to push himself from the man, but he lost the strength in his arm and he passed out.
Grimmjow woke up, his nose burning, but no longer bleeding. His arm stub burnt, but he wasn't bleeding any more. His arm was wrapped in white bandages. "What the... hell...?" He looked up to see Coyote Starrk, the leader of the Takdesu.
"I put your nose back in place, and I cauterized your wounds. They will burn for quite some time."
"Damn it." Grimmjow tried to stand up, but he didn't have enough strength in his one arm. "Damn Kenpachi. When I see him again, I'm going to beat his ass."
"You may not have a chance to fight him again."
"Why's that?"
"Lord Madara told me to tell you... that you got replaced. His exact words were 'why would I waste a position on a ninja with one arm, when there are hundreds to be had with two.' I apologize to be the one to have told you this."
Grimmjow clenched his jaw. "Damn, Zetsu must've took my ring from the arm that got cut off. When I get both arms back... I'm going to kick Madara's ass too."
"I don't suggest saying that out loud. Some people will rat you out and Lord Madara will get angry. He also told me to tell you, you need to start over. You're a Shipata again."
"God. It took me so long to become an Akatsuki... but because of some stupid shit I need to become a Shipata again."
"If you want to become an Akatsuki again... find the reanimated Kakuzu, and find your arm. He'll reattatch it. Unfortunately, you'll need to care around a decaying arm with you for a while."
"Would it even work?"
"Logic would dictate no. But if you use Medical Ninjutsu after he reattaches it, then you should be able to use it again."
"I don't know Medical Ninjutsu. Could you do it for me?"
"I don't know Medical Ninjutsu either."
`Tatsuzo slashed at Zabuza, who dodged the attack and slashed at him with his sword. Tatsuzo dodged the attack. Zabuza slashed at Tatsuzo again, but he ducked under the attack, and stabbed him in the stomach with the kunai. Zabuza kicked Tatsuzo in the face and knocked him backwards.
Mangetsu and Guy traded punches, both of them falling backwards. Mangetsu charged, but Guy kicked him in the face. Mangetsu grabbed Guy's ankle, and swung him forwards, trying to punch at his head.
Jinin slashed at Lee, who dodged it, and punched him in the face. Jinin fell back, and as he was falling he slashed at Lee- who leapt up into the air to avoid the attack. He kicked down at his foe, who lifted his axe, making it so Lee would kick it instead of him.
Fuguki swung his massive blade down at Rei, who collected chakra at the soles of her feet. Rei made a hand sign, and Fuguki's Sharkskin began to unwravel. Rei suddenly started shrinking down to nearly half the size of her original self.
"Half the size means half the chance of getting hit." Rei grinned.
Ameyuri slashed at Kazui with her left hand. Kazui jumped backwards, avoiding the attack, and made several hand signs. Ameyuri stabbed at Kazui with her right hand. Kazui leapt up into the air, and then blasted flames from his mouth. Ameyuri slashed, sending lightning from her blade and it canceled out with Kazui's fire. "Damn." Kazui spat his cigarette on the ground.
Yama made a hand sign, and his hands turned silver, and punched at Jinpachi. Jinpachi slashed at him with is cleaver, but his blade cracked against Yama's fist. Jinpachi jumped backwards.
Tomoko jabbed at Kushimaru's head, but Kushimaru easily dodged it and tried to stab at her with his neetle sword. Tomoko ducked down and sweept at his feet, but he jumped over her feet to avoid it.
Mangetsu punched at Guy's head, but Guy easily ducked under it and punched him hard in the face and sent him flying backwards. Guy charged over, and punched a hole in his chest.
Mangetsu grabbed Guy's wrist, and punched him in the face several times.
"How are you still alive?" Guy mumbled. "Maybe I should take him to a the sealing corp, they might have something to do about him." He lifted Mangetsu by the front of the shirt, his chest wound healing. He then darted off.
Lee's foot was slashed open by Jinin's blade. Lee groaned and he leapt backwards, landing hard on his injured foot. He groaned, and fell on his back. Lee fell to his knees, and Jinin slashed at him. Lee clenched his jaw, knowing he couldn't dodge it. Yama blocked the attack with his arms, and Jinin leapt backwards, his weapon cracking.
"Thank you..." Lee mumbled. He turned to see that Jinpachi's weapon was completely broken off, and he'd been stabbed into the ground, making him unable to move. Yama nodded, wordlessly.
`Tobi was standing in front of the Akatsuki members that weren't busy doing something else. That included Luppi, Ginjo, and Tsukishima.
"Ginjo and Tsukishima. You two will battle against the Suicide Division. You can bring any Takdesu you want."
"Right." Ginjo and Tsukishima walked off.
`Shiro ran back to Sakura's Division. Sakura greeted him. "Hey, Shiro."
"Sakura-sensei..." Shiro said out of breath. "Sorry that I left..."
"Shiro, why did you leave?"
"I didn't want to be in this Division."
"Are you kidding me?" The voice made Sakura jump, because the person was standing behind right behind him. She turned to see a young woman, who had black hair, and brown eyes. A green flak jacket protected her, but the sleeves were white."
"Hi, Anzu." Shiro sighed.
"You didn't want to be here?" Anzu growled.
"Uh, yeah. I wanted to be in one of the battling divisions."
"You're an idiot." Anzu turned away, and walked away.
"You know her?" Sakura asked.
"Yup." Shiro put his hands in his pockets. "Is there anyone who needs to be healed?"
"Nope. We need to travel to each division to make sure everyone's alright. We'll split into three groups, and the we'll start with the first division, second division, and third division."
"Right now?"
"Yeah."
`Kenpachi walked forwards, along with the rest of his division, making it to the second Akatsuki base with the help of Gin.
They stopped when they encountered a group of people. That group included Ginjo, Tsukishima, Hidan, and Jackie Tristan. Ginjo had a massive blade on his shoulder, named the Cross of Scaffold. Jackie had a black uniform on.
Kenpachi drew his sword, and Tsukishima drew his sword as well. "Book of the End." Tsukishima grinned evilly.
Kenpachi pointed his sword at him. "Drink. Nozarashi." His blade transformed into the massive cleaver/battle axe.
Gin pointed his blade at Ginjo, who charged at him. "Kill him. Shinso." His blade extended, but Ginjo dodged it.
Rinji and Hidan charged each other.
Jackie kicked at Ikakku's head, but he easily blocked it with his sheathed sword.
"Everyone who isn't involved in this battle..." Yumichika ordered. "Will need to advance to the next base to attack. Will that work, Fourth Seat Akagi?"
"Yes, sir." Akagi smiled.
Notes: Tsukishima doesn't have his ability to change memories, but he can cut through anything. Now think- Kenpachi's Nozarashi can cut anything. So what will happen if Nozarashi collides with Tsukishima's Book of the End? Both of them can cut anything. Just something for you to think about. And Foreshadowing.
