AN: I want to thank Demofnight66 and UnderTheDeepBlue for following my story as well as Demofnight66 for favoriting my story. I also want to thank my beta FeatherRose242 for betaing my prologue and chapters one, two, and three of my story. Those have all been updated so if you want to reread them with the grammar corrections feel free.
The following link is for a "story" I created that that contains Supporting Documents For The Silent Protector. Since I don't do a whole lot of explaining in my story (i expect the reader to have at least watched the anime enough to understand) this series of documents is here to assist others in understanding my messed up logic.

In just three seconds a bolt of black energy shot out of the hilt of Hebinoō towards the sky. Once the bolt of energy reached a height of fifty feet above Kioshi's head it appeared to strike something in the air, and it flattened out. The edges of the flattened out energy then started coming back down towards the ground. The energy struck the ground creating a perfect black dome that trapped everything in a fifty foot radius. Inside the dome Hebinoō's blade disintegrated and turned into a sickly green fog made of vaporized snake venom. Kioshi then grasped the floating hilt and swung his arm so that his feet and hand made a ninety degree angle. Finally Kioshi called out his impressive Bankai's name. "Hebinoō no Keimusho." After he said the name a small portion of the fog rushed towards the hilt and solidified into a katana almost exactly like Hebinoō's sealed form except he blade was the same color as the fog.
The mighty Head-Captain let out an animalistic snarl before he screamed. "You impudent child! Do you really believe a mere captain's Bankai is enough to defeat me? I have been the leader of the soul society for nearly two-thousand years for a very good reason. Not a single soul reaper has ever been born that can match my power!"
With a blank expression on his face Kioshi calmly replied. "That is where you are wrong sir, and I plan on proving that to you even if it means killing you."
With a sarcastic laugh the Head-Captain called back in an even tone. "Such delusional thoughts will get you nowhere. Well, what are you waiting for? Come and kill me like you believe you can." He finished that last sentence with an arrogant smirk on his face.
With a disgruntled look now on his face Kioshi stated in a solemn voice, "I am doing the honorable thing by letting you release your Bankai before I attack."
Now getting offended the head captain replied in a deadpan voice. "I will not need my Bankai to defeat you. My shikai will be more than enough."
After a disappointed sigh, and shaking his head back and forth Kioshi replied using that same solemn voice. "Very well then. I guess I will just have to force it out of you."
Then without warning Kioshi took off kicking up some of the green poison cloud heading right at Yamamoto. Within a second he was in front of Genreusai with his sword raised preparing to cut him in half, from his left shoulder to his right hip.
Yamamoto was by no means low, stupid or weak. However the increase in kioshi's speed was quite unnerving, and unexpected. He was barely able to block the sword that was trying to cut him in half. He stopped it from being a lethal blow, but he was unable to stop it from cutting two inches into his shoulder, he then quickly shunpoed back twenty feet.
"I am quite surprised that you were able to wound me, but miracles only happen once in a lifetime and that was your one."
Once again without warning Kioshi took off kicking up some more of the green poison cloud, heading right towards one of the strongest soul reapers in existence. In less than a second Kioshi was in front of Yamamoto with his sword raised preparing to cut him in half from his right shoulder to his left hip.
Yamamoto was better prepared for the incoming blow. Even though he was prepared he was still only able to block the sword that was trying to cut him in half again. Although this time he stopped the blade from making contact with his body. Unfortunately his block resulted in a sword lock.
Kioshi looked the Head-Captain dead in the eye and spoke. "I am going to break this shikai. Maybe then you will treat me with the respect a fellow warrior deserves." He then moved one hand from the hilt of his zanpakutō, placed it towards the edge of the blade, and applied pressure.
Crack!
Yamamoto's eyes widened and his facial expression changed to one of disbelief. He then looked down at his own blade where it connected to Kioshi's and noticed that Kioshi's blade was cutting through his. "That's not possible." Yamamoto whispered in disbelief.
Extremely disappointed in his younger brother Kioshi replied while shaking his head. "Your arrogance truly knows no bounds. Do you not remember the first rule of fighting a captain class soul reaper? Let me remind you. It is; a shikai cannot beat a Bankai no matter whose it is."
In all his years Genreusai had never met someone whose Bankai had enough power o damage his shikai, let alone cut the dammed thing in half. "I see. Very well then you have proven yourself worthy, but don't believe you are my equal. You wanted my Bankai then here it is."
He released his left hands hold on his zanpakutō and held it in his right with the blade pointing away from his body. "Bankai" all of a sudden the flames that had been burning on his blade were seemingly extinguished. Left in their place was a very old and scorched sword. "Zanka no Tachi"
Kioshi only had two thoughts regarding the head captains Bankai. The first was "I see it's a compression type Bankai how rare I will need to be careful." the second was much more strait to the point "that blade is most likely as hot or hotter than the flames from his shikai I can't let it cut me."
Then as if on some unspoken cue the two powerhouses charged each other. Kioshi brought his blade down on the head captain and Yamamoto did nothing to stop it. As soon as it appeared to make contact with the elderly captain the top half of Kioshi's sword disintegrated. Then Genreusai made an upward slicing motion with Zanka no Tachi making a shallow cut on Kioshi's chest while Kioshi was using Shunpo to back away.
The head captain looked at Kioshi with a triumphant smirk on his face and said "Your Bankai is broken. Surrender now and I will kill you instantly."
Ignoring the head captain's offer Kioshi instead asked him, "Why did my blade melt away? Where did your flames go?"
Curious why Kioshi would care Yamamoto decided to answer him. "It is part of my Bankai's ability. My Bankai has different for lack of a better word; modes. The first mode is Zanka no Tachi East: Kyokujitsujin. When it s active all of the heat of my flames is focused on the edge of the blade. It doesn't burn, nor does it fire up. It just burns away anything it touches leaving to trace."
Then all of a sudden Genreusai's body appeared to catch on fire. "This Zanka no Tachi West: Zanjitsu Gokui. The heat of the flames surrounding me reaches 1,5000,000 degrees. When I am using my Bankai you can't even touch me. It is as if my body is clad in the flames of the sun."
Kioshi then looked at the head captain with a bit of awe and asked "Does that mean that there is a Zanka no Tachi North and South as well?"
The head captain then replied, "Possibly, but even if there are you will never see them your Bankai is broken, and you are defeated. Why are you asking me these questions?"
Kioshi then did something very out of character for him. He smirked, and replied. "My Bankai is not broken like you seem to think. While it is true half of the blade has turned to ash my blade can be repaired like so." Kioshi then swung his arm so that his feet and hand made a 90 degree angle. Kioshi called out "Reform, Hebinoō no Keimusho." As soon as he said the name a small portion of the fog rushed towards the damaged blade and solidified back into the shape of a katana.
Then with a loud boom and a distortion of the air around him Kioshi disappeared from view and reappeared behind the head captain in less than a tenth of a second. In the next instant Kioshi made a downward slash at Yamamoto's unprotected back. He somehow managed to make a two foot long two inch deep gash there before he used the same high speed technique to reappear in front of the head captain.
Shocked and in quite a bit of pain the head captain yelled out "How! How could you possibly get past Zanka no Tachi West!?"
"Simple. I contentiously reformed Hebinoō no Keimusho's blade. Now that you finally have a good sized open wound I can use one of my Bankai's special techniques to finish you off once and for all."
Kioshi then raised his sword and pointed the tip at the head captain and called out "Envenomate." during the entire fight the venom fog on the ground had been blown around as if a gentle breeze was blowing through the giant black dome; but after Kioshi voiced that word the cloud went completely still. Then not even one second later a pillar of vaporized snake venom rushed from the ground into the head captains wound.
The head captain only had one thing to say to that, "Well, shit."
Kioshi then extended his right arm and pointed at Yamamoto with his index and middle fingers and called out "Bakudō #61 Rikujōkōrō." He then extended the rest of his fingers and lifted his palm so that it faced the head captain and said, "Bakudō #63 Sajo Sabaku."
The captain of the fabled fourteenth division then Shunpoed backwards away from the head captain, and raised his arm in the air. His hand was closed in a fist except for his index finger it was extended pointed towards the sky.
The head captain's eyes widened in surprise before he exclaimed, "Kioshi you wouldn't dare use that technique. You will never be welcome back to the soul society if you use it."
Kioshi looked at Yamamoto with something in his eyes that has been sorely lacking the entire fight; determination. "Then so be it. Hear my call fires of hell. Lend me your power so I can protect those I care for and burn everything and everyone that stands in my way to smoldering piles of ash."
With a pleading voice Yamamoto begged one of his oldest friends "No Kioshi please don't do this."
Then with a downward slashing motion of his arm he bellowed, "Infernum kōgeki Number Five Chi O Moyasu!"
At first it appeared nothing had happened, but then the head captain doubled over and yelled out in pain "Arghhhhh"
After of two minutes of the head captain screaming in pain there was a sudden jump in his spiritual pressure. Both of the high level binding spells that were placed on him were deteriorating, until finally they were no more.
"Shit I didn't expect you to break free Genreusai."
"I can see you don't have much energy left, but don't worry about it I'm not in much better shape. How about we end this in one attack; what do you think?"
"Sounds good to me."
Both men raised their swords above their heads in an almost identical motion. Then in the same instant they called the name of their attacks. A shout of "Zanka no Tachi, North: Tenchi Kaijin!" came from the head captain, and at the same time a yell of "Infernum kōgeki Number 8 Shi No Moeru Āku!"
Both of the attacks were arcs made of blazing fire energy. The attacks collided right in between the two combatants, neither one giving any ground to the other.
"Kioshi we seem to be at an impasse what do you say we call it a draw?"
"Genreusai I don't see it that way. Would you like to know why?"
"Sure why not."
"Because I can still add some more power to my attack. You must have forgotten Infernum is a variation of kidō therefore I can use Kōjutsu Eishō."
"I believe you are bluffing. You may be as strong as me but you are not stronger than me."
"Hear my call flames of hell. Lend me your power so I can protect those I care for and burn everything and everyone that stands in my way to smoldering piles of ash."
After Kioshi said the incantation his attack doubled in size and overwhelmed the head captains attack. The now super powered arc of flaming energy rushed towards the head captain at speeds that made dodging impossible. In the blink of an eye the attacks hit the head captain and created a massive explosion made of fire.
Once the smoke and dust cleared the burnt and bloody form of Genreusai Shigekuni Yamamoto became visible. Kioshi then took the hilt oh his sword and slammed it against his plain hollow's mask. Afterwards he sheathed his blade disengaging his Bankai. "You have lost head captain. I will not kill you seeing as someone is already on their way, but know this if you come near my squad or my family again and I will personally cut your head off."
After Kioshi had said his parting words he made a slashing motion with his hand while calling out "Garganta." Just as he was about to step through he heard a woman call out his name in anger "Kioshi Mamoru!"
AN: This chapter was just over 2240 words without the authors notes or disclaimer. I have chapters nine and ten pre written. I also have chapters 11 12 and 13 outlined. From now on everything I write will be brand new content. I have an outline so I know where my story is going but I haven't been feeling too creative lately. Due to the lack of creativity after chapter 9 my updates might become sporadic and further apart. I now have a beta so things will be getting updated and fixed shortly. Please leave a review if you enjoyed the story or even if you did not. Let me know what you liked and/or what you didn't like. That is how I can improve as a author. Goodnight.
