Disclaimer: I own none of these ideas this is a pure work of fiction. I have added my own characters into the story the most characters are owned by Bleach and Naruto and a few references to dragon ball, z and gt. This fan fiction is a Bleach, Naruto and small bit of dragon ball crossover. There is also a couple Mortal Kombat reference as well as Street fighter, god of war III a quote or two from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and some quotes from Team Four Star's Dragon Ball Z abridged. I also got a lot of ideas from Naruto: rise of the lord of foxes and one character idea from the fan fiction Toshuriou's little Rangiku but for the most part this is my own work.
Chapter Twenty-four: The Chunin Exams Fight, Ikkaku vs. Nnoitra
"Next match Ikkaku Madarame vs. Nnoitra Gilga" you see the man named Kenpachi Zaraki walkup to CJ and your sharigan allows you to tell what they are saying. CJ is telling Kenpachi to go meet the rest of the invasion force and escort them the rest of the way to the village. Naruto pulls Ikkaku over and says to him
"Captain Kenpachi has left to escort the rest of the invasion force if you need to use that you can."
"Thanks Naruto" he responds with that Ikkaku walks out and you see a man with a white uniform and a huge weapon mounted on his back
"So you're the one I am going to take down huh" says Nnoitra
"You wish Espada" ikkaku responds
"FIGHT!" says Kisuke. Ikkaku draws his blade and holds his sheath in his left hand
"Interesting you fight with both sword and sheath"
"you are so going down espada" with that he charges Nnoitra and starts slashing and striking at everything he can reach but Nnoitra is blocking with his weapon and countering and being blocked himself. This goes on for about 5-10 minutes when both jump back breathing heavily
"You're not bad soul reaper"
"You're not bad yourself espada, but I still hold back" ikkaku then slams his swords butt and sheath together and says "extend Hōzukimaru (Demon light)" a light blue cloud surrounds his blade and sheath and it transforms into a spear
"So this is your zanpakuto?"
"Wouldn't you like to know?"
"Whatever this might be fun after all"
"Yea it might" and with that there fighting begins anew with his zanpakuto in its release form ikkaku's power in his strikes has increased both fighters were having difficulty land a blow on the other but eventually Ikkaku got lucky and the spears tip rammed into Nnoitra's chest but is stopped short as if it hit a brick wall
"What is that all you've got?"
"What the hell"
"My hierro is the toughest of all the espada. So in other words your sword can't cut me"
"BULLSHIT!" ikkaku then goes and strikes again and again but Nnoitra blocks and strikes back just like before and after 10 minutes ikkaku again gets his strike in and this time it slashes a deep cut into Nnoitra's chest
"H…How did you do that" Nnoitra sounds scared and looks shocked
"I told you it was bullshit I can cut you and you know it"
"I am the strongest! YOU HERE THAT SOUL REAPER I AM THE STRONGEST!"
"Yea whatever"
"You will regret mocking me. PRAY, SANTA TERESA!( Praying Mantis)" a yellow light gathers at the top part of the blade and then explodes outward and when the smoke clears, Nnoitra gains an extra set of arms, which take on an insect-like carapace and clawed hands, with each hand holding a large scythe-like weapon as well. The scythes themselves resemble the appendages of a praying mantis, and have a small golden tassel at the end of each staff. He also gains a golden marking extending from his forehead to below his right eye, as well as a pair of horns on his head, his left horn longer than his right, resembling a crescent moon.
"So this is your resurreccion form"
"Yea so what?"
"You won't beat me just know that."
"You wish" Nnoitra then charges ikkaku and starts slashing at him as fast as he can and no matter what he does Ikkaku can't block so he ends up really wounded when the two separate Ikkaku is breathing hard will Nnoitra only laughs
"You're…you're not…bad…espada."
"Like I said you are going to die here"
"I can't believe that I am being forced to use this." He then shouts to the crowd at large "DON'T TELL ANYONE WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO SEE OR I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!"
"You're acting all high and mighty for someone whose about to die"
"Shut up arrancar now you meet your end, BANKAI!" Ikkaku explodes in a tornado of wind and at the top of the cyclone are to crimson dragons that crackle with spiritual pressure then a mist appears and then you see ikkaku's sword is now a Chinese Monk's spade and a standard Guan Dao. Both have a traditional horsehair tassel at the hilt and a long cylindrical weight for a pommel. The pommels are connected by a heavy chain to the center section, which resembles an axe-like blade with a parallel handle forged into the blunt end and a dragon crest on one side of the blade. Despite all three weapons being of near-ridiculous proportions, Ikkaku wields them easily. "Ryūmon Hōzukimaru (Dragon Crest Demon light)"
"Since when could you use Bankai?"
"I have been able to use it for a while but I don't like to use it at all possible because the philosophy of squad 11 is to fight with your own strength and no one else's"
"So your pride doesn't let you use this"
"In a word yes"
"Well now you might fight me at full strength. But I must say this is impressive"
"Don't bullshit me I haven't unleashed nearly enough Reishi to impress you. Decide if it's impressive or not, when you're dead!" ikkaku says and then his Reishi spikes and he charges Nnoitra and starts slashing at him with all his might which Nnoitra finds hard to block but still manages to dodges the strikes he couldn't block. You notice that the dragon crest on ikkaku's sword it's partially glowing but not fully. Ikkaku then slashes and lops off two of Nnoitra's arms.
"You think that lopping off my arms will stop me"
"Uh oh" you think to yourself as Nnoitra's arms grow back and he grabs the fallen weapons
"Ok you can regenerate just like Ulquiorra could"
"Yea what of it?"
"Nothing. Oh and by the way I am still holding back"
"You shouldn't I am a strong opponent"
"Yea whatever" Nnoitra charges him and slices at him and the wounds he makes aren't as deep as the others but they are basically trading wounds. You see as they trade blows the dragon crest starts to fill more and glow stronger
"Why do you still hold back you're going to die if this continues?"
"Unlike myself Hōzukimaru is so lazy even when I send him into Bankai state he takes forever to wake up so the only way to way to wake him up is either by slashing up my opponent or letting him slash me up, but when the crest glows fully red his true power is awakened" he starts to swing the center piece around and the symbol glows more and when it reaches the head spiritual energy explodes out from Ikkaku and you feel his power rising and from the looks of things Nnoitra realizes what Ikkaku is about to do put all of his power into one all-out attack Nnoitra charges his power up to do the same thing.
"This will be the final attack of your life soul reaper"
"funny I was about to say the thing" and with that they both charge each other samurai style like in those old movies and they both slash at the same time and pass one another. Then they just stand there for a few minutes then Ikkaku's left arm falls off cut cleanly away and then Nnoitra drops to the ground
"F****************************************************************UCK!" Nnoitra shouts as he realizes the cut is too deep and he seems to have run out of power. He then starts to burn up in a purple fire that symbolizes an Arrancar's death. Ikkaku starts clutching at where his left arm was you see he has already lost a lot of blood
"AGH!"
"IKKAKU!" Naruto shouted he started to run to him but then CJ jumps down and preforms a few hands signs
"Demonic healing art: Anti-blood flow jutsu" he then places his hand over the wound and the blood flow stops so ikkaku doesn't lose any more blood
"Thank you lord shikage" ikkaku whispers
"Don't talk. We will get you to Captain Unohana she will handle the rest from there."
"Can she heal lost limbs?"
"Good point. ORIHIME! Get down here!" the ANBU you saw earlier jumped down and she puts her hands up to her hair pins and says
"Soten Kisshun (Twin Sacred Return Shield) I reject" then two fairies fly out and form a half oval barrier and it clamps around the wound and you see that Ikkaku's arm starts to regenerate. When the arm has fully recovered the shikage releases the jutsu stopping the blood flow and then Ikkaku goes to the hospital ward to visit Yumichika and see how he is doing.
