New chapter of Naruto: Shinigami of the Kyubiakuma! I don't own anything but the story!

As Madara's vile blue aura surfaced ominously around his body, the mass of energy took a humanoid shape, a sword made of the Amateratsu flame emerging from the figure's newly formed hand. The bluish aura grew to be a full-sized figure, with a suit of body armor made of Amateratsu flame now attached to the figure's massive body. Madara was sealed inside, his arm's crossed as he glared at the duo of Naruto and Ichigo with a fierce scowl on his old, decrepit face.

"Just what the hell is this thing?" Ichigo asked as Madara's ominou's spiritual pressure washed over the entire Soul Society like rain.

"This is the hatred of all the Uchiha," Madara answered menacingly as a wicked smile crossed the old Uchiha's face. "This… is the Susano'o!"

Meanwhile

"It's time to die," Zabuza hissed viciously as he advanced toward Haku, who was still sporting Zabuza's zanpakuto lodged in the middle of his chest.

"Not yet," Haku insisted calmly as the Haku that Zabuza attacked was reduced to just a small puddle of water, meaning that this Haku nothing but a mere clone. The real Haku was nowhere to be found on the battle field, Zabuza examining the area carefully around himself.

"Come out Haku, there's no use hiding," Zabuza growled roughly. "I can smell the fear emanating from your very soul…"

Zabuza turned in time to crush an ice spear that was aimed at his skull, Zabuza chuckling darkly as he shattered the ice spear in his hand like glass.

"You're better than that Haku, don't make me laugh!" Zabuza roared maliciously as he tried to pinpoint the location of where the ice spear was thrown. "Come on... this is my first real fight since I've obtained this new power… at least make it interesting…" Zabuza once again caught an ice spear that was in his radius, this one was aimed directly at his neck.

"Now you're mine!" Zabuza roared furiously as he spotted an aerial Haku above him, Zabuza taking hold of his zanpakuto with both hands, which was planted in the ground an inch away from him. As he pulled the sword from the ground, Haku flash stepped past the Arrancar instantaneously, a large gash appearing across Zabuza's masked face. Zabuza roared in agony as Haku ran forward at full speed to attack again. As Haku approached, a red light bathed the cloth that was wrapped around Zabuza's mouth, Haku's eye's widening as Zabuza shot a large bright red cero from his mouth, homing in at Haku with incredible speed. As the cero supposedly connected with the stunned Haku, Zabuza shot another cero of the same magnitude from his mouth into the mix, for good measure.

"The power of these Arrancar are impressive," Yoruichi stated as she and Soi Fon watched the battle from the sideline. "I wonder what else Aizen has up his sleeve…"

As the smoke subsided from the cero, Zabuza was shocked to find himself once again inside of Haku's Ice Chamber Bankai.

"W-What… how did you…?" Zabuza stammered as each ice mirror held an image of Haku.

"It's over, I win," Haku stated simply as Zabuza growled angrily in response to this arrogant remark.

"How dare you insinuate this battle is over?" Zabuza asked as a menacing red aura surrounded the Arrancar's body. "This isn't over until your dead Haku… so why don't you just roll over and die?"

"You can never beat me, especially with that paltry cero of yours," Haku said as Zabuza's spiritual pressure continued to increase in intervals. "You're just a monster now, nothing more nothing less. You won't leave my crystal ice chamber alive."

"I survived before, I'll survive again!" Zabuza roared angrily as he gathered a massive cero, so big that the cero was gathering power outside the front of his mouth. The cero continued to grow larger in size, at this point as big as a house.

"You can't stop this!" Zabuza roared as he used both hand's to push the cero at Haku's ice mirrors. As the cero touched the ice mirrors, it phased through, Zabuza's eyes widening as he witnessed this.

"W-What's going on?" Zabuza choked out as the cero was absorbed by the ice mirror's.

"It may be made of ice, but it is still a mirror," Haku answered mysteriously as he appeared in the ice mirror behind Zabuza holding the massive cero in his hands. "Anything you attack me with… will come back to you…" Zabuza's eye's widened as he was hit dead on with his own cero by Haku, the cero vaporizing the Arrancar's body on contact.

"H-Haku… y-you've…" Zabuza stammered as a small smile crossed his Hollowfied face. "Good luck Haku…" Zabuza's body was completely vaporized, leaving no trace of the former Arrancar. Haku bowed in respect for his fallen master before he placed back on his mask, stepping out of his ice chamber.

"That kid… he's good," Soi Fon said as Yoruichi nodded in agreement. "He purposely goaded that Arrancar into attacking him so he could deflect the Arrancar's attack back at him. He couldn't defeat him with his normal Bankai so he used an alternate move… smart."

"These Akatsuki are all powerful Shinigami, none are to be taken lightly Soi Fon," Yoruichi reminded Soi Fon, who nodded as she turned around to see Obito still in the process of fighting Aizen's Akatsuki alone.

"Enough…" Aizen stated as he sensed something that he hadn't felt in quite a long time. "I've grown tired of this battle…"

"Madara-sensei is using his Susano'o," Obito thought as he took a quick glance at the door, sensing Madara's incredible spiritual pressure. "Aizen must sense this as well… so he's trying to escape so he can take the Hogyoku…"

"I'll take this nuisance on my own," Aizen stated as Obito's eye's widened in surprise.

"Are you sure you want to do that Lord Aizen?" Orochimaru asked as he glanced out the window. "I sense the old man… he's using the Susano'o…"

"It doesn't matter," Aizen stated boldly as his hand rested on the hilt of his zanpakuto. "I shall turn the tide of this battle…"

"That Shikai…" Obito thought as he teleported in front of Aizen, slashing him across the chest before he could unsheathe his zanpakuto. But as he did, he realized something he couldn't believe.

"It's a fake…" Obito stated as he glared at Aizen's zanpakuto, which floated in mid air before him. "He's going to go after Madara-sensei…"

"But you don't have time to worry about that…" a voice stated menacingly as Obito was cut across the back by an unknown individual.

"Who dares…" Obito hissed angrily as he turned his head to face the unknown individual.

"It's been too long, Uchiha Obito," a muscular man with with long blond hair that went to his waist stated as he stepped forward, wielding a scythe like zanpakuto. "The last time we fought you were still on that fool Minato's squad."

"That was a long time ago, Hanzo," Obito replied as he smiled darkly. "Last time we fought I wasn't the man I am today. Allow me to show you what's changed since then…"

"You're still the same ignorant child that is too afraid to wield a blade, don't pretend you're not," the man referred to as Hanzo scuffed. "It's foolish to resist me, even someone with the Sharingan is no match for my poison."

"Poison? What a silly concept for battle," Obito remarked as Hanzo's eye's widened, angrily cutting Obito across the throat with his zanpakuto. Obito stumbled backward, blood rolling down his neck as he seemed to be choking on his own blood. Hanzo chuckled ominously as he watched the Uchiha bleed out, but something felt wrong…

"Genjutsu…" Hanzo murmured as he sensed Obito preparing to attack him from behind. As Obito cut Hanzo across the back, a cloud of poison sprayed out Hanzo's cut, aimed at Obito's face. Obito covered his face with the sleeve of his jacket, jumping backwards to avoid the lethal poison.

"Paltry genjutsu isn't enough Uchiha," Hanzo told Obito as he turned to face Obito with a sinister look on his half masked face. "You need actual skill and the resolve to defeat me…"

"You're nothing but a mere distraction Hanzo, I can't believe someone of your former caliber has sunken so low to join a fool like Aizen Sosuke…"

"I have my reasons, which are none of your concerns scum," Hanzo responded as he sliced Obito's head off his shoulders, which caught everyone's attention in the entire Central 46 chamber. Obito's head fell cleanly off his shoulders, Hanzo snickering as he watched Obito's body arch over to the floor. But as it did, the body turned to paper, the body exploding as Hanzo's eye's widened in surprise when he realized this was not the real Obito.

"You failed to stall Obito, now what will you do?" a voice asked as Hanzo glanced back to see Konan, who had her usual stoic expression on her pretty face.

"Konan, well this is a surprise," Hanzo greeted as a certain malice was heard in his voice. "Nagato is with you as well no doubt?"

"Don't worry about Nagato, I'm your opponent," Konan told Hanzo as she unsheathed her zanpakuto from the sheath at her waist.
