Chapter 923 Bakkoto
I don't own Bleach or any of the powers and gear used in this story.
Kazuo was back at the Soul Society with Luz and Rurichiyo and Luz said: "So this is where those spirits live?"
"Yeah also thanks for being there with me." Rurichiyo smiles.
They nodded before someone comes down towards Rurichiyo bringing down a massive a weapon, the guy wearing yellow armor on his lower half, as well as a yellow eye-patch over his right eye. The white cloak he wears covers his head and acts as a cape.
Kazuo got shocked and tackles Rurichiyo away as the guy hits ground.
"I missed!" He said.
"Who are you?!" Rurichiyo said.
"I am Genga and I came to get you princess!" He said.
Kazuo goes in front of Ruri with Luz going to her side, Kazuo glares at the guy and looks at the weapon. "That thing is alive."
"So you noticed. My bakkoto will crush you." Genga swings his weapon making a energy slash as it turns into a stone wall seperating Kazuo from the girls.
"Kazuo!" They said.
Kazuo looks around and Genga came from behind as he merged with the wall hitting Kazuo away as he grunts.
"What do you think you little brat?! You should have ran when you had the chance." Genga mocks him as he makes more walls to surround Kazuo in a circle.
Kazuo takes a deep breath as he goes into the ryusoken stance, he covers his arms in haki and waits.
Genga appears from behind and Kazuo turns around. "Ryu no Kagizume!" He slams his fingers against the middle making the wall break and Genga was shown in pain.
"Aaaaaaah!" He screams.
"How do you like that?" Kazuo smiles.
"How did you do that?!" Genga said.
"My fingers are like the claws of a dragon! 'Claws' to tear away power from the conceited!" Kazuo said.
"You little brat!" Genga swings his weapon Kakuyoku at Kazuo who leans back and strikes at Genga many times making him grunt from the stronger strikes making the guy feel more pain.
Kazuo then jumps up. "Dragon strike!" He attacks Genga many times as he grunts before striking him on the sides of his head.
Genga steps back before failing down dropping his weapon.
Kazuo takes it and transports it to a safe place.
"Kazuo you did it!" Luz came with Ruri.
"You mamaged to defeat that guy. I never seen that fighting style before in the Soul Society." Rurichiyo said.
"I learned it somewhere else." He said. "But we need to go since more of these guys will come back."
"Yes." Rurichiyo said.
They ran away before a guy with a scythe came down laughing, this guy looks strange as his teeth are square and spaced far apart, he has pink skin and no hair on the top of his head with what little he has being blonde.
"So you defeated Genga, no matter as I Jinnai Dōko will cut you to pieces!" He said as he takes out a scythe called Retsurai being another of those Bakkotos.
He swings it at Kazuo who brings out his own scythe to block it before they went back, Kazuo slashes with him before using his ryusoken but Jinnai eats a piece of his blade surprising Kazuo.
He then grows blades out of his back with his body changing as he stabs Kazuo's hand making him wince.
"Ha!" He then slashes Kazuo away near a river making him hold his hand. "Your technique needs to be close but I can stop you before you even have a chance."
Kazuo gets up and looks at his injury with the girls in shock.
"I study your abilities along with the rest of us. So even if you use the other abilities i'll stop you before even using those other forms." Jinnai laughs.
Kazuo looks at his hand before looking at the river getting a idea. "Of course." He takes out a cloth and wraps it around his hand before going into the fish-man karate stance.
"Huh?" Jinnei got confused seeing that. "What is that? Whatever." He charges at Kazuo.
"Karakusagawara Seiken!" Kazuo punches foward making a shockwave that sent Jinnei back and he screams.
"What?!" Jinnei got up. "You didn't even touch me!"
"Fish-Man karate doesn't need to touch you. As I can use the water as a weapon, like the moister." Kazuo said.
"A second style!" Jinnei charges at him.
He shoots his blades from his body and Kazuo waves his arms around making the moister knocking the blades away before they even got a chance to get him.
Kazuo then punches foward again blasting Jinnei with the shockwave once more as he falls down.
"I hate you!" Jinnei gets up. "I hate you so much!"
"And i'll show you a power beyond hate." Kazuo said.
Jinnei jumps towards Kazuo swinging his scythe but he blocks it with his hand. "Samehada Shotei!"
Jinnei got shocked seeing that and Kazuo brings his other fist back. "Samegawara Seiken!"
Jinnei brings his blades foward but Kazuo punches through them breaking the blades as he hits Jinnei making him spit out blood as he falls down defeated.
Kazuo takes the scythe away and stores it.
"That was so cool." Luz said.
"I must say that was impressive." They saw a third guy come down.
He wears a black mask that covers his mouth, along with a long-sleeve black shirt and black pants. The purple scarf and pink armor with his bakkoto Shiragiri activated.
"Who are you?" Kazuo said.
"My name is Kuzuryū. It's interesting to see this fighting style you used to defeat Jinnei. But I won't fall as easy as him." He crosses his blades.
Kazuo gets ready and summons his keyblades getting ready.
Kuzuryū charges at Kazuo clashing with him as the two went around clashing blades at each other.
Kazuo then uses his teleportation to go around making Kuzuryū block his attacks but the assassin pushes Kazuo back.
"Impressive but i'm not done." Kuzuryū makes a mist around Kazuo blocking his view.
Kazuo looks around and he heard his voice. "My most cannot be controled by others so your style is worthless."
He strikes at Kazuo many times making him grunt as he swings his sword trying to get at him.
The assassin goes up and shoots a blast at Kazuo surprising him as it explodes.
Kuzuryū smirks seeing that.
SHACHI! UNAGI! TAKO! SHA-SHA-SHAUTA, SHA-SHA-SHAUTA!
"What?!" Kuzuryū said.
OOO appeared and he was in Shauta form.
He turns into liquid form and charges at him striking at the assassin making him shocked.
"You can turn yourself into water." Kuzuryū said.
OOO takes out the whips and hits him many times making the assassin grunt feeling the zaps from them.
OOO grabs the assassin and flies around dragging him while zapping the guy.
"Hey stop this crazy thing!" Kuzuryū said.
OOO then scans the medals while throwing down.
SCANNING CHARGE!
OOO legs turns into tentacles as he dives down.
Kuzuryū got caught again as OOO makes the tentacles spin like a drill striking the assassin making a explosion.
Kuzuryū falls to the ground knocked out and OOO lands on his knees tired as he takes the weapon away.
"It's... Still... Not over." OOO changed back to normal.
Someone came being another guy with light purple hair and the scar across his face. He wears a mask that conceals his mouth and nose and has red armor over his left shoulder. He has his bakkoto Saiga, which is actually his right arm, the armor extends over his whole body.
"Hanza?" Rurichiyo looks at him.
Hanza looks around and saw his own men defeated. "Hmmm. It sees they made a mistake fighting you as your stronger than what we thought. But for the clan i'll defeat you."
"If your if the house why are you trying to kill Ruri." Kazuo said.
"Because she isn't worthy to be the leader. Gyōkaku will lead the entire clan to greater heights." Hanza said.
Rurichiyo got shocked to hear that since the man that she trusted sent them to kill her.
"I won't let you hurt her!" Kazuo glares at him.
"You don't stand a chance now!" Hanza charged at Kazuo slashing at him as he blocks it with his shield.
Kazuo dodges the blade and the moon was rising up to the sky.
Kazuo slashes at him but Hanza dodges before kicking him down.
"I know your abilities and the fact you got weaker gives me a better chance." He points the orb at Kazuo making the moon reflect out of it and Kazuo got paralyzed.
"Now die!" Hanza dives down towards Kazuo.
"Kazuo!" The girls cried out.
His stand then came out as D4C blocks the sword.
"What?!" Hanza said.
Kazuo's symbiote sent a tendril at him hitting Hanza before Kazuo got snapped out of it.
Hanza got mad and powers up and was now in a armor form.
"Your going to kill yourself using that much power." Kazuo said.
"Go to hell, kid! My power is far greater than this! A mere Bakkōtō will never overcome me!" He goes towards Kazuo.
Kazuo makes a energy blade and points to the side as it shoots the blade foward bouncing it off a wall hitting Hanza in the neck.
He spits out blood as he falls down defeated.
Kazuo knows he's still alive but saw he revert back to base, he takes the sword away and stores it.
Luz and Rurichiyo goes to check on Kazuo.
"Are you okay?" Rurichiyo said.
"Yeah. But it's still not over." Kazuo said.
They looked at where the Soul Society is and they known Gyōkaku is planning something.
"I have to stop him." Kazuo frowns.
Note: The Kasumiōji battles are starting with Kazuo defeating the assassins using some of his training outside of the Wolf Fang Fist.
