Apologizing to Kukaku for messing up her lawn.

You aren't especially fond of the idea itself as the woman was not one you ever wanted to anger.
Sadly in that moment of desperation your mind could only come up with one place in the Soul Society that was far enough from all the chaos of the Seireitei and now you are stuck in the mess you've made.

Scratching the back of your head awkwardly you make your way for the entrance of the building where the two goofs are standing as guards.
They seem to be painfully aware of the fact that just about anyone present could chew them up if they so desired.
Yet they still feel obligated to stop you.

"H-Halt!
Mistress Kukaku expressively forbid anyone from entering her home!"

"Stand aside you two.
I'm the one responsible for this situation.
And I want to apologize."

Letting out sighs of relief they wipe the beads of sweat off of their brows as they take a few steps to the side.
"Oh thank the Reio!
Please, enter.
And may god have mercy on your soul."

Walking in you make your way down the somewhat familiar stairs until you reach the actual living area of the building deep underground.
Now that you actually know who or more specifically what the Shibas are you have a fairly good idea why Kukaku chose to build her home like this.
With your nose not held back by a fleshy cage you can even smell the gunpowder down here.

Finally you reach the average but still somehow ominous door and knock on it.
"Come in."
Her voice sent a jolt down your spine even though she didn't sound mad at all.
You just knew that she was.

Sliding the door to the side you take off your boots and enter.
"Hmph...
I remember expressively saying: Don't enter my shed...
So you got a death wish or something?"

"I-"

But the moment you opened your mouth Kukaku sprung up from her pillow and delivered a quick and firm spin kick to your face, sending you tumbling backwards.
As you finally stop the back of your head leaves a dent in the floor and you feel your whole world spinning around.

"I knew that presence was familiar...
There aren't many goons running around without spiritual pressures.
So... what do you want brat?"

Popping free from between the floorboards you scratch your head.
"I'm no boy-"

"You are what I say you are!
Now... out with it!"

Deciding that there is not much of a point in delaying this you get on your knees and put your forehead on the ground.
"I came to apologize Kukaku...
I'm the one who brought everyone here without your permission.
I'm sorry!"

"Tch... was that really so hard?"
She strutted back to her many pillows and fell on her ass without much grace.
Raising a jug of sake next to her she began chugging it.
"Well don't just stay there!
C'mere!"

Blinking a few times in confusion you decided to do as she told you to.
As soon as you got close to her she put down her drink and tossed you a pillow with her sole arm.
"Sit."
Once you seated yourself the Shiba woman returned to her gourd of liquor.

"The captains already apologized for the inconvenience and told me what's up.
So the old man is dead... A real shame.
I may have hated those black hakama wearing bastards but he was okay.
Even to this day I can recall how Kaien went on and on about him.
So... what's your plan brat?
Don't expect my charity to last too long.
I expect you to get out as soon as possible or you'll find my missing arm firmly stuck where the sun doesn't shine!"

"Don't worry.
I'm not planning on dragging this out.
There's been enough bloodshed as is."

"Then what's the plan?
Tackle an entire army all by yourself?"

"If need-be."

"Just like back then.
Looks like you can take the old man out of the kid but you can't take the kid out of the old man.
...
Wait, that didn't sound right!
Ah fuck it!"
She took another chug of her drink.
"Speaking of which.
Where are your friends?"

"Those are just kids.
I'd rather not endanger them."

"Didn't stop you last time."

"Didn't have a say in the matter back then."

"Still... a few spunky teenagers with absurd amounts of power might be useful, don'tcha think?"

"Like your nephew?"

Kukaku paused at that and her eyes slowly widened.
"My... what?"

At this moment you do the same dumb expression that she is.
"Oh... shit."

"You have five seconds to explain before I BEAT it out of you!"

Erratically you began moving your arms around as nervousness took control of you.
"Y-You see Ichigo is actually-"

"ISSHIN!"
Kukaku clenched her hand into a fist so hard that the veins on it appeared to be ready to pop.
"All these years... he's just been raising a family... and here we thought he was dead like Kaien...
IF I GET MY HANDS ON HIM HE'LL WISH HE WAS!

Deciding that things escalated a bit too much already you stand up and slowly back out of the room.
"I see you are quite angry.
I'll just take my leave while you vent some of-"

But as you were about to make a run for it you hear a set of footsteps rushing down the stairs.
"SISTER!"

But Kukaku was having none of it.
"NOT NOW GANJU!
I'M ABOUT TO SEND SOMEONE TO THE GRAVE THEY SHOULD BE IN!"

"I-It's Kaien!
The ghost of Kaien is outside!"

That caught the womans attention.
"Huh?!"

Reaching into your pocket you retrieve your communicator and start calling someone.
Quickly the recipient picks up and speaks up.

"Kaizar?"

"I suspect you know where I am.
Come."

A weary sigh slips through Aaronieros mouth as he ends the call and begins making his way to you.
The two Shibas meanwhile were busy shouting at each other to notice you.
Raising a hand to your mouth you let out a cough which gets their attention.
As the two of them look at you, you speak up.

"I believe I owe you an explanation."

They just look at you in confusion.
"Well?"
Kukaku asks impatiently.

"Just a second."
You speak up as you hear footsteps getting closer.
"I believe you should meet.
His name is Aaroniero."

The moment he stepped into the room was when the tension became palpable.
Ganju and Kukaku stared at the stranger wearing Kaiens face and they couldn't make heads or tails of it.
Surprisingly enough it's Kukaku that takes it harder as she begins tearing up.

"K-K-K-Kaien?"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3Vw2_mAxzk

You see Aaronieros eyes twitch as he struggles to respond.
But after a few agonizing seconds he decides to speak up.
"I'm afraid not Ms Kukaku."
His voice sounds much deeper and kind of distorted, probably to preserve what nerves the Shibas still have left.
"My name is Aaroniero Arruruerie. And I'm a hollow."

"B-But-"

You step to the side of your comrade and speak up.
"It's true.
He's one of my older friends."

"Your... brother Kaien was killed not by a shinigami as you believe but a hollow.
One of my kind."

"I... I don't understand!"

"That beast was named Metastacia.
An artificial hollow created by Aizen Sosuke who merged with Kaien.
The shinigami you hated so much for killing him... was the one that saved him from a fate worse than death.
In his last moments he thanked that girl wholeheartedly for saving his soul.
And that girl... she was just as heartbroken about his death as you were."

You nod.
"It's true.
But even though the hollow was slain his spirit returned to Hueco Mundo where it was given to Aaroniero who could assimilate the powers and memories of other hollows."

"It..."
Aaroniero tries to continue but he's feeling incredible amounts of pressure that inhibit him.
"It was an experiment.
Me gaining Kaiens body, powers and even memories was... purely luck."

The two Shibas just stare at you silently.
Hearing all of that is obviously hard to take in.
And it's easy to see why they fail to do so.

No longer capable of holding herself back Kukakus tears flow freely.
"Get... out!"

"Kukaku please-"

"GET OUT!"
She picks up her jug and hurls it at you as hard as she can.
As the pot shatters against your skull your face gets drenched in alcohol.
"GET OUT! YOU AND YOUR MONSTER FRIENDS!
AND THE SHINIGAMI TOO!
DON'T YOU DARE SHOW YOUR FACE HERE AGAIN!"

>>2103393
I knew Aaroniero was retarded but damn.

>>2103393
We really should have explained it before he walked in and got her hopes up.

I feel bad about this.

>>2103393

Well that's to be expected really.

Hopefully Issin can fix-

Hell I couldn't even type that with a straight face.

>>2103427
Clearly, Nejibana needs to talk.

You stare at the crying woman feeling a bit ashamed by this.
But before you could react in any way to that you feel someone else approaching.
Suddenly Aaroniero murmurs to himself.

"Good. This should make it easier."

"Kaizar I got your message! What's the ma-"
Ukitake rushes into the room and sees the mess that's in there
"Who... are you?"

"Captain Ukitake..."
The words sent shivers down the old captains back.
Despite dealing with ghosts his entire life he never witnessed someone returning from beyond the grave like this.
"I'm glad you got my message."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V5uS0Um9YzA

Aaroniero then knelt down and with his eyes fixated on the floor continued.
"Please forgive me...
Forgive me for daring to look like your loved one. For having his voice.
For tarnishing his memory."
Then Aaroniero looks Kukaku straight in the eye, his demeanor completely changed.
"The truth is... that I don't know what to say in this situation...
So for what it's worth... I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for your loss."

Ukitake just looks at you in confusion.
"Kaizar! What is the meaning of this?"

"He's one of my comrades.
A hollow with the ability to consume other hollows.
Thanks to one of Aizens twisted experiments he received Shiba Kaiens memories.
And because of how malignant his own powers were he may never have been able to live a normal life if he never received Kaiens spirit."

"What?"

"Basically he was losing his mind amidst the countless memories he absorbed.
After a procedure we managed to cure him of his dementia and erase most of his excess memories.
But Kaiens remained. For some reason he clinged onto them because that way... he could be normal."

"This is..."
Ukitake looks at both Aaroniero and the crying Shibas.

>Think what you will of him but that won't bring Kaien back and it won't make things easier
>I believe you needed to know the truth. Just... please don't hate him

Nejibana is literally a part of Kaien, and she is the same as when he wielded her, so it's the closest they're gonna get to talking to Kaien again, which is actually pretty close.

"Hold that thought Captain.
Before you say anything else I believe someone important hasn't voiced her opinion just yet."

Everybody except Aaroniero gives you a curious glance.
He however knows perfectly what you are getting at and removes his sword from his side.
Placing the Zanpakuto on the ground before him leaves the Shibas mildly confused.
Ukitake however seems to have caught on.

"I-Is that?!"

From the sword a strange blue fog begins to seep out.
Filled to the brim with reishi it thickens and the silhouette of a person begins to appear inside.
Suddenly the obstructing cloud disperses and a girl stands there, brandishing the same sword that lays on the ground.

"N-Nejibana!"
Ukitake gasps as he lays his eyes on the girl.
"So it is true..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpWclabjS7c

"Yes Captain...
It's good to see you again."
Nejibana turns her attention to the Shibas.
"Lady Kukaku... Ganju.
I believe we haven't been properly introduced even though I know so much about you.
My name is Nejibana. I am-"
She bites her lip.
"Was... Kaiens Zanpakuto.
I am the last remaining fragment of his soul."

"Y-You are Kaien?"

"A part of his. Even though I have become my own personality. I'm still him."

Kukaku snaps at Aaroniero.
"You... You even go as far as to desecrate a part of Kaiens soul!
You mon-"

"Please don't!"
Nejibana extends her hand to Kukaku.
"Please... don't."
Slowly she begins twirling her weapon between her fingers and her true form is revealed.
Now leaning against her trident she speaks to Kukaku with a sad voice.
"Lady Kukaku... Kaien is dead.
It's something we all have to come to terms with.
This man however... he is not one to blame.
At first I hated serving him. I even contemplated... just ending it all to save myself from the shame.
But!"

Nejibana points at you.
"When this man entered the picture everything slowly started to change.
The hollows I thought to be monsters started to become more human.
Where there was a cruel and savage monster now stands a man who just wants to live a happy life like all the rest.
Over time I slowly warmed up to him as I saw him grow as a man.
Until I regretted being his weapon no more."

Taking a deep breath she looked at Kukaku one final time and finished her train of thought.
"Lady Kukaku... Sister.
I know for a fact that the Kaien I knew, the Kaien I adored saw that his power, his memories, his body helped Aaroniero become more human... I think he'd be happy."

"D-"
Kukaku struggles to form words.
"Do you truly believe that?"
Nejibana nods.
"Shit... being happy that he was of use to someone even after death...
Yeah... that does sound like Kaien."
Kukaku takes out her pipe and quickly lights it.
"Okay... I'll bite.
If you can tell me what Kaien used to call me!"

Nejibana smiled.
"The most dangerous explosive the Shiba clan ever created."

"...
Shit."

>>2103749
>"The most dangerous explosive the Shiba clan ever created."

"S-So it is you!"
Ganju finally manages to collect himself.
"K-Kaien!"

"Nejibana..."

"R-Right! Sorry.
So you're saying that we shouldn't be mad at his hollow for taking Kaiens body?"

"Yes. Because he did not take anything.
He took a copy.
Kaien rests peacefully where he was laid to rest.
Only I remain.
And I'm also certain Kaien wouldn't like it if you kept hating the shinigami.
He loved being a member of the Gotei 13 all his life.
Even the one that killed him. Especially the one that killed him.
Because she did him a favor that can never be repaid.
So please... don't hurt yourselves over his memory anymore.
You know how much he'd hate that."

Taking a deep breath Kukaku manages to extinguish all of the tobacco in her pipe at once.
Blowing out a thick smoke she breaks her pipe over her knee and looks at Aaroniero and you.
"I... I will forgive you for having the same face as Kaien.
HOWEVER!
You'll have to work your ass off for making a delicate fucking flower like me cry.
I'm gonna go now and drown my sorrows in sake.
And I'll harbor an eternal grudge until you refill my pantry with booze! Understood?!"

Aaroniero bows properly before Kukaku.
"Thank you Lady Kukaku.
Once this is war is over I will pay you back for this insult."

"Good."
She turns to face you.
"As for the rest of you worthless bunch...
You and the shinigami can stay. Just don't show your face around here again or I might just break it.
That goes for you too Ukitake!"

"M-Me?
Why?"

"Fuck you that's why!
Now get out!"

With Kukaku seemingly appeased the three of you and Nejibana make your way out.
Leaving her household you let out a loud sigh.
"That could've gone better!"

"It could've gone worse."
Nejibana adds to that.

Aaroniero nods.
"Thank you Nejibana."
He pauses for a few minutes awkwardly.
"Did you... mean what you said?"

She waves him off.
"Hah! Don't get overconfident!
I'm just trying to protect my landlord!
I also expect you to pay me back for this!"

"As you wish."

Ukitake then looks at you and Aaroniero.
"Well... that was something."

"Everything okay?"

"Yes it's just... seeing this whole thing was really uncanny."

"Yeah I thought we might as well come clean with this.
It's no use harboring secrets right now."

"Agreed.
Which brings up something important.
Something that might interest you."

"Go on..."

"As you might guess we are having a bit of an internal struggle at the moment.
With no leader, us captains started looking for a replacement Head Captain."

"And it's down to you and that Kyoraku guy.
Unohana told me."

"I see.
But as you can imagine that will take some time.
Right now we are busy bickering amongst ourselves as always.
So... we may not be able to aid you for a while."

"That actually comes in handy at the moment.
I have some personal affairs of my own to take care of.
Just have the decency to inform me when you finally elect a leader."

"Will do."

"I'll let you get back to your work as well Aaroniero."

He nods.
"We won't let you down Kaizar."

"Yeah. What he said!"

Leaving all of them alone you made your way where you wanted to go for a while now but couldn't.
Carving a path through the crowd you headed straight for the reiatsu that you locked onto.
Pretty much tossing anyone that stood in your way aside you finally arrive and hear a voice calling out for you.

"Father!"

Running up to you Sophia basically leaps in your arms.
"Hey there Pumpkin!"
You hug your daughter and hold her in your embrace for a moment before separating yourself from her and giving her a stern look.
"What did I tell you Sophia?"

She looks down at her feet and puts her two index fingers together sheepishly.
"That I should stay in the Human World."

"Yes! Because it's dangerous!"

"But Mr Isshin needed a ride here."

"And I'll have to teach him not to use little girls like that!
But that still does not excuse you for staying here!"

"I-I... I wanted to help."

Quite taken back by your sudden aggressiveness Sophia got scared a little.
Unable to stay mad at her for long you pull her in and hug her once more.
"I know sweetie.
J-Just be careful, okay?"

"Well well, looks like you found each other."
Harribel speaks up as she arrives.
"Welcome back."

Raising Sophia and holding her in your arms you speak to your wife.
"Hey. How are things?"

"Good for the most part.
Everybody seems to have gotten lucky in their engagements.
We only have casualties amongst the Exequias."

It's a bit of a cruel thing to say but you are relieved that none of your friends were seriously injured.
But you still feel for the soldiers that gave their lives for this fight and you are not about to leave them unavenged.
"The others?"

"The girls are mending their wounds.
Alex mostly mends her husbands.
Everyone else is busy resting or eating.
They exerted a lot of energy.
On the bright side, the enemy lost more manpower in exchange.
Or at least... that's what we thought before we heard that they were all resurrected."

You shake your head dismissively.
"Not all.
Those that underwent Soul Suicide or got eaten didn't.
And if I were a betting man I'd say they can't use this over and over again.
Takes too much energy."

"Let's hope so.
So...
What's the plan?"

"Nothing long term."

"But?"

"But one of the Captains made me an offer.
She wants to train me."

"They must be getting desperate."

"They just lost their leader."

"I know...
Well? Did you accept?"

"I see no reason not to."
You respond.
"After seeing what that old shinigami was capable of and still dying I think we need all the advantage we can get."

"Yeah...
That man.
When he fought all the moisture started disappearing.
Not even evaporating. It just disappeared."

Sophia nods.
"He was scary."

Tia continues.
"So... which one made this offer?
Can't imagine there are many of them that could help you improve."

"The only one that scares me."

"Wha-"

"And I don't think she meant training as in teaching.
It felt more like she wanted to break my body again and again until it couldn't be broken anymore.
...
By anything."
You extend your arm and bring Tias attention to it.
"Look."
Your arms were visibly shaking.

"A-Are you sure this is a good idea?"

"No.
But it's the only one we have."
You glance up at the sky.
"And we have to be quick.
Before the big wigs decide to come down."
Swallowing nervously you set Sophia down and patted her head.
"Protect Mommy and everyone else while I'm gone, okay Pumpkin?"

"I can't protect everyone alone."

"I see..."
Reaching into your pocket you pull out your trusty companion and hand him over to your daughter.
"Then you'll need some help."

With her done you went in and hugged your wife as well.
"Hey... don't you die on me you oaf."

"Please... when was the last time I got close to death?"

"What day was yesterday?"

"Ouch.
Point taken.
I'll be careful. Okay?"

"Okay."

Parting with your loved ones you ask them to inform the others about your whereabouts while you're going to train.
After a few minutes of walking between camps you find yourself stepping over and around injured shinigami and arrancar alike who have all been gathered in one single area.
You see nurses and medics from all species running around and helping those in need.

Asking a few of them revealed the location of your target to you and you made your way to her.
A nice big tent seems to have been erected in the middle of this makeshift medical area where Unohana is found sitting in a chair.
Upon your entry she finishes sipping her tea from a rather ornate looking cup.
"I see you're back.
Well? Have you made your decision?"

"I accept."

"I hoped you'd say that."
She then reaches into her drawer and retrieves a sealed envelope with the name "Isane" written on it.
"Otherwise writing this would've been for naught."

"A will?"

"Yes. Why?
Does it surprise you?"

"Just what are you planning on doing?"

"You'll see."

Leaving the main camp completely Unohana took you quite far away from the others.
After moving at a very high speed for about ten minutes you stop and ask her in anger.

"Where are we going?"

"Somewhere safe.
Far away from others."
She looks down at the ground.
"This should do."

Looking down at the ground she places her open palm on it.
Then with a quick push she caused a large section of it to collapse under you.
As you kept falling down you had to wonder what her plan was because she can't trap you like this.
But once you land and see where you are comprehension dawns on you.

"Muken..."

"Yes.
It does stretch infinitely.
You just have to find a good spot where the ground is thin enough."
She draws her Zanpakuto and tosses the sheath aside.
"Nobody will disturb us here..."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XxRUH8DOIQ

With her free hand she began undoing her braid.
As her hair begins to get loose the reason why she kept her hair like that is revealed to you.
A scar.

And not the kind that one would be a source of pride.
It was deep, ugly and obviously done by a heavily serrated blade.
Given how much of a talent she has in the healing arts she must have kept it on purpose.

"Kaizar Soize..."
Her voice changed drastically.
The same chill you felt from her before has blossomed into a freezing cold.
There was no kindness nor remorse in her voice. Only malice, only lust.
"It is customary to introduce ourselves to our opponent in the Gotei 13...
Allow me to start.
Unohana Yachiru. The first Kenpachi."

And all of a sudden it all makes sense now.
As every strand of hair stands up on your body you can feel each drop of sweat as it rolls down your skin.
Suddenly you instinctively reach for your sword.
In that split second where your attention was on your own blade however Unohana swiftly crept up to you and lodged her blade in your gut.

Coughing up blood you conclude that she must have pointed her blade upward and it punctured your lung.
Lethal on anyone else but you.
As you free Basilisco and swing it she pulls her sword free from you but not before giving it a quick turn.
Blood leaks from your body as you look at her.

"Y-You!"

"Words are pointless now.
Come."

Using your free hand you cover up your wound but it still hurts a lot.
Raising your sword with the other you focus your attention on your opponent.

Unohana takes the first step relatively slowly then the second in much the same vein.
But after the third one her body begins to shimmer and with lightning fast movements all you see of her body are lines.
Luckily you can still see where she's heading.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbDkU65pJNQ

"The left!"
You turn and with Basilisco in your right you slam down at her.

She brings up her Zanpakuto and blocks yours with it.
Her appearance is completely unrecognizable at this point, she has a wicked smile on her face permanently.
As you are locked you keep staring into her eyes to see them filled with bloodlust.
A careless mistake.

Using her free hand she reveals a hidden blade tucked in the sleeve of her captains Haori and drives it into your arm.
The thin blade slips right between your radius and ulna without any issue.
Yachiru then moves her hand forward causing your arm to rotate 90 degrees to the right.
With Basilisco no longer restricting her movements she raises her sword and slams down against your arm in an attempt to chop it off.

She does manage to cut through one of the bones in your arm cleanly but her blade gets jammed in the second.
"Tch."
Not wasting any time she plants her foot in your gut and using your body for leverage she yanks her Zanpakuto free.

Unable to hold onto your sword any longer it falls down onto the ground just as you see Unohana preparing her next assault.
Stepping quickly on the handle of Basilisco it jumps up and you snatch it out of the air with your healthy left arm.
But now that you have only your bad hand to work with you don't feel comfortable colliding with her.
So raising what's left of your right arm you begin charging your palm with energy, thinking that at least it's good for conducting reishi.

Aiming not at your opponent but at the ground you fire off a bala downwards and using the smoke screen it created you make a run for it.

So at what point does she forget she is technically training Kaizar? Also, ouch.

>>2104624
This is training

>>2104633
''''''''Training'''''''''

All Kaizar really needs to do to train is get somebody to fuck him up to within an inch of his life, let him heal, and do it again. It's kind of cheating. I'm sure Captain Murderbitch is enjoying herself though.

>>2104695
To be fair, this is LITERALLY the exact same plan she had for training kenny

As you're running away you look to the side and see the widely open eyes of Unohana as she stares into your soul.
She wipes off some blood off of her cheeks and jumps up so she can kick you in the ribs.

Tumbling on the ground for a while you find yourself struggling to find your balance.
Once you're standing on your own two feet you see Unohana rushing you again.
This time she's planning on using her Zanpakuto once more, which you can not allow to hit you.
Raising Basilisco you ready yourself to intercept her only to find Yachiru letting go of her sword.

As the blade harmlessly flies past your head you see her raising her hand at you.
"Hado #73: Sōren Sōkatsui!"

Suddenly whiteness envelops your field of vision and you feel heat blasting your face at full force.
Falling to your knees once the sensation fades Unohana grabs you by the hair and raises you up slightly.
Firing off a chain of kido at her own sword she pulls it back to herself.
With her weapon in her hand once more she slides her blade between your ribs with surgical precision and the tip of her Zanpakuto leaves through your back.

At that point you felt your vision getting blurry due to excessive trauma.
You blinked once in hopes of clearing up your eyes a bit but once you opened them up you felt confused.

Suddenly you were standing on your own two feet and you did not feel the same pain you felt a moment ago.
Looking down at your clothes you see no signs of any damage done to them.
Blinking in confusion you look at Unohana.

"The hell?!"

She just raises her sword at you.
"What's wrong?
Don't tell me you're scared."

Gritting your teeth you stomp on the ground.
"Like Hell I am!"

"Good.
Then let us begin!"

"What?"

Unohana charged you again

Thank god we're getting these rolls out of the way in this scenario, eh?
Right when we need low rolls, too.

>>2104879
Succeeding would probably give us some hefty boosts to actual fighting ability, though.

Spooky, wouldn't rolling low here be better cause we keep taking damage thus healing and adapting? Also what will the training do mechanics wise?

>>2104948
It depends.

Rolling low means damage, meaning more over all defense in the long run.
Rolling high means you develop more fighting potential

>>2104703
Yeah but Kenny wasn't literally getting harder to physically damage as she did it, he was just making his way towards an epiphany.

Raising your sword you speak the release command and swiftly transform before Unohana reaches you.
With your unleashed power giving you confidence you clench your fist and throw a punch at your opponent.
Yachiru on the other hand doesn't seem to be too worried by your new form and continues her assault.

She brings down her sword in order to meet your punch head on.
A trifling matter as you've clashed against swords with your bare hands before.
All the more shocking when her sword cuts through the pocket of air your hands push ahead of them as well as your Híerro like butter.
Her Zanpakuto sliding between your middle and ring fingers causes your nerves to flare up with pain.

But rather than showing sings of despair you smile and bring up your free hand.
With no weapon to block with she's yours.

Your fist moved swiftly and with great force.
Unohana however is just as calm as you are, maybe even more so.
She cocks her head to the side and avoids your fist, leaving behind only a mirage of herself.
Her hair flickers from the air currents as she produces another hidden weapon and after twirling it around a bit she slams the needle like knife into your shoulder.

Pulling her sword free from your arm she kicks you in the gut and hops backwards a few times as well as using shunpo to gain some extra distance.
Raising her sword she closely examines the blood dripping from it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ibb_B4bQ6VM

"My oh my...
Looks like even you bleed normally when cut.
Kukuku...
I was keeping myself you know.
For a certain, strapping young man.
Up until I heard you managed to satisfy him and helped him unleash his true power!"

"Z-Zaraki?"
You grunt as you pull the needle out of your shoulder.

"Of course.
I owe you for that one.
Poor baby... I always felt quite guilty for ruining him like that.
But this means... that you'll have to be the one to satisfy this old lady."

"Old lady?
I've met teenagers less dexterous and flexible than you!"

"Flattery won't get you far here boy.
I'll only be satisfied if you perform!"

How to make the soul-eating monstrous reincarnation of a literal Nazi deathsquad officer feel completely inadequate: A primer by Yachiru Unohana

>>2105062
KeK

"Sorry lady, I'm married."

Raising your fists you start cracking your fingers one by one.
Unohana meanwhile walks circles around you, examining your stance.

You keep waving your fingers back and forth as the wound Unohana inflicted on you heal one by one.
Eventually she loses her patience and makes her move once more.
At least she deserves her title as "Kenpachi".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h-rj8HVW3PQ

But as she's coming for you she enters your territory and you can begin initiating your plan.
Quickly pulling your hand to the side the thin threads of mucus attached to them spring to life and start dancing around Unohana.
To her credit she notices them moving around and begins slashing away in order to cut them up as much as possible.
What she doesn't realize is that since they are fluid that hardly does anything against them and she gets tangled up in your coccoon.

Grabbing hold of the primary thread you begin pulling on it as hard as you can.
However before the trap could tighten around the shinigami you see a hole being torn into the side of your makeshift trap and Yachiru leaps out of it practically unharmed.

"HOW?
You shouldn't be able to use your sword inn there!"

In response to that Unohana just raises one of her fingers at the tip of which is a reishi scalpel.
She does not bother with any further response and attacks you.

Raising your hand you fire off shot after shot of mercurial bullets at her, each of which she either avoids or slashes out of the air without much effort.
Once she gets in close she raises her katana and brings it down on your left side.
Her Zanpakuto cuts through skin, sinew, muscle and bone effectively obliterating half of your body.

Once more you find yourself wincing in pain and closing your eye as your senses are overwhelmed.
And just like last time when you open them once more you find yourself unharmed and Unohana standing in front of you without any signs of your previous scuffle.
The only indicator that the previous fight was not an illusion is the fact that you are in your Resurrección.

"OKAY!
WHAT IS THIS?!
IS THIS YOUR POWER?"

"You'd like to know that, wouldn't you?"

"Fine!"
You grumble.
"No more playing around!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgqsnAv2728

Squatting down you begin focusing on your insides and steadily increase your own blood pressure.
Your skin grows red as the sanguine liquid rushes through it.
Finally you feel your muscles expanding slightly as they gain more power to work with.
Unohana gives you an amused look and raises her sword.

"Why aren't you releasing that damn thing already?!"
You ask her in an infuriated tone.

"It's not like you've given me a reason to.
But don't let that bother you.
My shikai is not fit for combat."

You grow more and more agitated by her.
Deciding to raise the stakes even further you do something you haven't really tried before and reach for Mera.
"Scorch!"

You command her and your knife begins glowing orange in response.
With her at your side you finally have access to at least some abilities while in Assault Mode.
Charging Unohana head on assume your stance.
Holding Mera in a reverse grip she remains at hip level while pointing at Unohana.
Raising your free hand higher you prepare it for unarmed combat.

Getting close enough that you are in optimal stabbing distance you find yourself under the minimum effective range of Yachirus sword.
Delivering a quick stab forward you lunge at her but she dodges it almost effortlessly.
In an attempt to counter attack she raises her sword and you respond by knocking her arm aside with your free forearm.
Wrapping your left arm around her right bicep you tighten your hold on her arm in an attempt to make her drop her sword.

Her resilience astounds you as she keeps hold of her weapon even now.
However you don't allow this tiny detail to distract you and you raise Mera and attempt to slice her neck open.
To your surprise she leans back almost 90 degrees and effectively avoids your knife.
As you attempt to bring up Mera for a downward stab she knees you in the liver and in the ensuing confusion breaks free of your hold.

Not wasting this opportunity Unohana quickly jumps over you as you are leaning forward and holding your guts.
Wrapping a thin wire around your neck she somersaults over you and brings her arms forward.
Your neck bends backwards and you find yourself struggling for air.
She yanks on her garrote and your neck lets out a loud cracking noise.

Feeling your eyes rolling back as you keep gasping for air you decided that desperate times call for desperate measures.
Raising your free hand you jam your thumb into your neck, under the wire.
With the newly punctured hole you manage to draw in some air and feel strength returning to your muscles.

>>2106238
It's quite simple really.
If you paid close attention you saw the DC decreasing by one every time you lost.

>>2106256
I personally like this level of training Spooky, also fuck you for making me stay up even later now.

Maybe we'll land a hit at some point.

>>2106263
Welcome to my world nigga.

Sometime when I write I stay up from 6 PM all the way to 4 AM

With your wits about you once more you tighten your grasp on Mera and while keeping your reverse grip on her you turn your body around in an attempt to stab behind your own back.
Once Mera is pointing at the savage shinigami she lets out a straight line of fire and Unohana swiftly lets go of the wire around your neck in order to avoid the tongues of flame assaulting her.

No longer being choked to death you feel blood rushing to your brain as you rip apart the wire around your neck.
Unohana meanwhile gives you an amused look.
"What an interesting ability.
Did you loot that off the corpse of a shinigami? If so, how can you use it?"

"She was the Sword Gods servant.
She joined me willingly."

"I see...
No wonder they hate you so much.
You are quite dangerous."

"Clearly not dangerous enough..."

"Agreed.
How about you stop playing pretend then?
Come on Fear Eater. It's time for you to show yourself!"

"Make me!"

"As you wish."

This time not bothering with secrecy she draws another one of her hidden blades and you are left wondering just how many she has on her person.
Charging you she begins attacking you with both blades simultaneously.

"You may be using both your arms but you are so inadequate you may as well not be using them!"
She speaks as she continues to overwhelm your defenses.
After knocking Mera aside and cutting your free arm she jams her knife into you and almost immediately afterwards reaches under her Haori and pulls out several syringes filled with strange liquids that she proceeds to jam in between your ribs.

As the fluids enter your system your heart begins to race.
Your heart rate keeps increasing until you feel a sharp pain growing in your chest and your left side starts going numb.
Grasping at your chest as you feel the stroke getting worse you slowly feel your consciousness slipping.

However your eyes snap open and you feel nothing in addition to standing in a completely different place than from before with your wounds gone once more.
Looking down at your side you see your Zanpakuto still released and Assault mode still active.

"MERA!
WHAT'S HAPPENING? DID YOU SEE IT?"

"I... can't tell Kaizar."

"What?"

"I just can't."

Looking up at Unohana you see her giggling, still unscathed.

Looking at Unohana you decided that you had enough.
It's time to end these games.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCfmkk09GrA

As you made the choice to increase your internal pressure even further you let out a loud scream of pain and exertion.
The temperature of your body rises until blood is squeezed through your pores and it catches on fire as soon as it make contact with air.
Looking at Unohana you give her a frown as she gets visibly more excited.

"Finally!"
She speaks up.
"Now you look ready!"

Not even bothering with a response you lean forward and touch the ground while you bring one of your legs in front of the other.
As start running the ground beneath your legs is uprooted and sent flying into the air due to the force of your movements.

Yachiru raises her sword as she sees you approaching and prepares for you.
Stopping just inches away from her, the wind is strong enough to cause her hair to flail around wildly and the earth around you to crumble.
Raising your knife you begin slashing away at her rapidly.

Finally you feel like the two of you are somewhat evenly matched and neither of you has a clear advantage just yet.
The moment you see her moving her free hand however you react immediately by taking a step back and arching your leg back for a powerful kick.
With the amount of experience she has under her belt she was capable of easily reacting to your movement before you even began your attack.
This does not mean however that she did not feel the force of your kick as the air swept across her face.

Staggering for a bit she takes a step back and points her blade at you.
Quickly lunging forward she attempts to impale you once again.
But this time it's you who dodges to the side.
With fluid like motions you spin around your Y axis and once your rotation slows down and your shoulder faces her you tackle the shinigami with as much power as you can muster.

The impact was audible as Unohanas shoulder made a loud popping sound that managed to pierced the wall of sound your crash made.
Her feet dragged along the ground, she dug up quite a lot of soil as she was pushed back.
Looking down at her now limp arm she winced and quickly she popped it back with only her muscles.
"Yes... that's more like it!"

File: Unohana_healing.png (73 KB, 784x573)

She knocks on her shoulder with her other arm a bit to check on it.
Finding it quite a bit sore she unfolds a few of her fingers from her sword and points them at her injured body..
A thick, rubbery webbing begins to form around her fingers and it begins to wrap around her arm.

When you see her body sizzling your eyes open wide.
"That's-"

"Kaido. Did you forget already that I'm also a healer?
Funny. I originally learned this so I can extend my fights.
Never have I thought that I'd use it on myself though..."
She looks at the web and continues.
"Kaido differs from regular kido as there are no numbers or incantations involved.
In truth it's all just modified bakudo and hado spells.
This is a much weaker version of Tsuriboshi meant to keep things together while I manually mend the tissue with my own energy.
Quite similar to what you can do, only slightly worse."

Once she's done mending her wounds she closes in on you as she quickly got bored of being defensive.
With your enhanced speed you have no problem keeping up with her movements however her experience with the blade shows as she still manages to slash you a few times as she rapidly changes the trajectory of her cuts.
Each time she lands a blow on you excessive amounts of blood shoot out of them before your blood could coagulate and seal the wound.

Deciding what's enough is enough you raise up Mera and lock her sword in place with your knife.
Moving your free arm around you grab her main good hand and grip on it hard, causing her bones to crack.
She raises her other arm in your face and fires off several blasts of Kido in it.

"Hado #54: Haien!"

With a purple flash her hand explodes and engulfs your face in fire.
Even though your body is practically on fire already this does hurt quite a lot as the fluid in your eyes begins to boil.
In response to that you raise up your leg and kick her in the abdomen and send her flying backwards.

As she struggles to get up blood runs down from her mouth and she finds herself grasping the area where you struck her.
"Yes. That's it."
Judging by her expression you'd say that she is in quite some pain.
It appears that while she can dish out a lot of pain she is not very good at taking it, an unfortunate side effect of her mastery of combat.
She hardly ever gets hit.

"Now then..."
She speaks as she mends her wounds.
"What do you say we end this little warm-up?"

Your eyes widen.
"Warm-up?!"

She lets out a wicked smile and speaks up.
"Bankai. Minazuki."

Unohanas blood seemingly begins to melt as it releases copious amounts of a strange, dark and viscous liquid.
The substance slowly creeps along the ground and begins covering quite large amounts of it.

Seeing this display combined with Unohanas viscous expression you can't help but shiver nervously.
Giving your knife a tug you look at her.
"Mera.
I'll need your help."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dmrr3DxUK4

"Of course..."

Raising her you stabbed yourself in the chest with her and allowed her flames to enter your body.
As soon as your organs were set ablaze you began raising your own power to trigger the metamorphosis.
Soon your reiatsu began changing color from turqoise to black as you screamed in pain.

But once the shock of the transformation subsided you straightened your posture and looked at Unohana.
"Resurrección: Segunda Etapa..."

Extending your hand you conjured an ethereal manifestation of Basilisco in one hand while raising Mera in the other.
Your blue sword found its match once Meras fire changed color to match your energy and a long blade of flame shot out of her.
Armed with two swords you charged the shinigami.

Creating foot sized platforms of reishi everywhere you step you walk above the strange liquid.
Unohana watches your display of precise reishi control and raises her now considerably shorter sword.
With a few inches of height advantage you unleash a deadly barrage of blows with your two blades.
Each time you swing with one you either follow up with the other one in a similar fashion or from the opposite side.
Mixing your sequences up constantly you find yourself spinning in place with your blades extended.

Unohana does not respond, in fact her facial expression betray just how focused she is as she's trying to counter two swords with just one.
Much like you she also heavily relies on her enhanced acrobatics to dodge your unrelenting assault.
This little performance of yours is looking more and more like a dance rather than an actual fight as you both begin subconsciously reading the others movements and moving in sync with them.
Rather than fighting to harm the other your are actually competing for the leading position.

But as you sway from left to right to dodge Unohanas ripostes and counters you notice that the ground under you has not done anything yet,
The liquid stays so it must have a purpose but what it is you can't figure out.

File: chk_captcha.jpg (35 KB, 620x173)

Noticing this lapse in concentration Unohana immediately jumps on the occasion and reverses her grip on her sword and she pulls it back.
With her sword pointing downward she cleaved the ground and lobbed just a few drops of the stuff in your direction.
Judging by the quantity and generally poor aim of the attack this was meant as a message from her that it IS dangerous.
Suddenly you feel happy that you opted for avoiding it.

Quickly you return your attention to Yachiru and raise your swords up in order to bring their full weight down on her.
After a flash of light as metal collides against metal and creates sparks you look deep into Unohanas eyes without flinching.
She has a satisfied look on her face, as if she's saying "Finally! Welcome!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yBbR_uODtTY

But as you stare at her you see something odd.
Turning your gaze at your own hands you see the flesh melting from them, leaving only skeletal digits holding onto your sword.
Looking back at Unohana her skin also begins to wither away, leaving only a ghastly skeleton with long silken hair.
This view shocks you hard enough that Yachiru can capitalize on it.

Knocking your swords aside she begins cutting away at you.
Seeing her blade coming down on you her sword visibly gets stuck in your arms, of which only the bones remain.
Leaning in closer her hollow eye sockets gaze into yours.

"Do you feel it?"
She speaks up without moving her mouth.
"My bankais name is the same as its shikai name, Minazuki.
Only the meaning changes.
And it means: All things end.
My shikai is a living creature meant to save lives, its stomach acids contain powerful medications that can close and heal most wounds.
The bankai... is every bit of my power focused into just the acid.
Her skull turns to the right and you follow her gaze.
"These noxious fumes are the ground evaporating.
Breathe it in deep Fear Eater. Let it melt your mind!"

Suddenly comprehension dawns on you and you begin to panic.
But Yachiru is having none of it.
She reels back her head and drives her forehead into your nose, knocking you off balance.
Unable to create any reishi platforms under yourself you fall back first into the pool of acid underneath.
Desperately you try to break free and stand up but Unohana lets go of her serrated blade and reaches for your throat with both of her hands and pushes you down into the sludge.

Once she sees bubbles coming up from deep beneath the liquid she loosened her hold on you and allowed you to take inhale her acidic slime.
Your mouth and your nose, your windpipe and your throat, your muscles and your organs, your skin and your clothes.
Every inch of your body felt as if it was drenched in oil and lit on fire.
And unfortunately it didn't look like it was about to go away any time soon.

Any time you felt like you were going to pass out due to a lack of oxygen Unohana brought you out and cleaned your lungs before dunking you back in.
As your body is filled to the brim with acid you feel every single cell in your body filling with pain.
However... as your brain is being eroded away you have an epiphany.

"This... this is it!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GheBtkD7TQ

Not resisting Yachirus hold any longer you give in and immerse yourself in Minazuki while calling out for every single Einherjar under your command.
Suddenly the tiny creatures form up and stand against the tide of acid in a desperate last stand.
While Unohana is busy dismantling your body cell by cell you are focused on undoing her work, again and again.

"faster. Faster! FASTER!"
Focusing every bit of energy you have into self regeneration you cycle through several dozen generations of your cells.
Each one stronger than the last.

As she's busy torturing you Unohana notices a faint light emanating from your body and she is so taken back by this that she takes a few steps back.
The light grows until it pierces through the dark slime and it sends the stuff flying all over the place.
Standing in the middle of that puddle your clothes are barely held together and your skin is covered in burn marks that are ever so slowly fading away on their own.

Looking down at your hand you see that it still appears skeletal but the delusion is slowly breaking as you start seeing flesh once more.
Your eyes are cloudy and vacant as you are on the very edge of your mental stamina.
Slowly like a drunkard you turn to face Unohana and you see her sword shaking in her hand.
Exhausted as you are you can't seem to form thoughts more complex than single words.

the one thing a hollow knows best

"Fight."
The word echoes in your mind.

Suddenly you look up and at Unohana who has picked up her weapon again.
No longer looking like the grim reaper she instead looks like she just got done murdering someone.
Slowly you turn to face her and begin walking towards her.
Instinctively she raises her sword.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaeXN-MByjU

Looks like she's raging to go on.
And you no longer have the capacity to stop yourself.
With your next step you used Sonído to appear next to her and Yachirus eyes widen as she realizes how you slipped past her senses.
Fists clenched you threw a punch at her.

Thanks to her quick wits she managed to evade your strike and immediately she prepared her counter attack.
The blade of Minazuki closed in on your neck but you were perfectly aware of that.
Raising your hand you unconsciously blocked the sword with your forearm and as its blade digs into your skin it gets stuck as it attempts to cut through your Híerro.
Flexing your muscles you managed to get Unohanas sword stuck in your skin and you raised your free hand in an attempt to hit her.
With her Zanpakuto lodged in your steel skin she couldn't avoid your strike and your fist is driven into her ribs, causing her left lung to collapse.

As Yachiru flew through the air in her lungs evacuated alongside some blood which she spat up.
Landing hard on the ground she found herself on all four limbs, coughing violently.
When she looked up however she saw you closing in the distance quickly and once in striking range you pulled your right leg back and kicked her in the stomach with full force.

Once more she leaves the ground and makes her way into the skies.
Extending both arms you conjure a misty recreation of your trusty knife with one hand and call Mera to your side with the other.
Jumping after her into the air you raised both of your weapons and skewered her with both of your weapons like she was some sort of animal.

Fiercely and with great strength you began moving your hands around in a circular motion causing a small whirlwind with Unohanas body.
Using the built up inertia you launched the shinigami at the ground with your final swing and when she lands she uproots most of the ground, creating a small canyon in the bedrock of Soul Society.

Landing softly beside her ravaged body you faintly start hearing a voice in your head once the adrenaline leaves your systems.

"are... You... CRAZY?!
WHAT DID YOU DO THAT FOR?!"

Instead of replying to her you kneel down next to Unohana who seems to be smiling to herself.
Using what strength she can spare she opens her eyes and looks at you with blood dripping from her mouth.
"Wonderful...
I'm glad I finally got to fight you Fear Eater...
Remember-" She winces in pain and stops for a moment. "Remember that feeling. That complete animosity.
The drive to destroy your enemy without remorse.
Use it... and save the Soul Society...
Do it for the sake of this old woman..."

"Is this what you intended?"

"Yes... but I did not imagine it'd be quite so... explosive."

"You killed me... over and over again.
Just so you could heal me up."

"Stronger and stronger... Yes...
I intended to do the same to Zaraki-kun originally... but you beat me to it.
Now I gave that gift to you.
Put it to good use Kaizar Soize... make this Kenpachi proud."

"Are you content with dying?"

"Heh... I finally got to taste defeat after all these years.
Yes... I suppose I am.
I just wish I could see Zaraki-kun finally blossom as he was meant to be."

You frown at that.
"Tch... conceited old hag..."
Extending your hand you mustered what control you still had over the Einherjar and ordered them to her.
She did not attempt to resist you mending her wounds.
"You think I'll let you die after what you put me through?
It's time for you to return from the brink of death for a change!"

Once her wounds and her robes are restored she stands up even though she feels quite sore after that ordeal.
Cracking her neck she grumbles to you.
"You are a cruel one Fear Eater, not letting an old woman rest."

"Lady you may be as old as the Old Man but you don't look a day over 30."

"Still you attempt to flatter me?
*sigh*
It really is a shame you became a hollow.
You'd have made a fine Kenpachi."

"Not really.
I don't like that side of mine...
But I guess you are right about one thing.
I'll have to let go of his leash if I want to win."

"I'm glad you finally see reason.
When the time comes do not hesitate. Kill."
She then let out a warm smile like the ones she did as Unohana Retsu and she began braiding her hair.
"Now let us get out of this dreary place. The Royal Guard probably won't take too long now.
A pity really, they have no clue what they are about to face."

"Right..."

As you picked up Unohana and flew her out of the cave you heard that familiar voice in your head speaking up again.
"Man I just don't get you freaks..."

Aaaaaand that's a wrap!

Finally!
It was a difficult procedure but we managed to birth this abortion of a thread.

My apologies for this asinine display of incompetence.
I'll make sure this doesn't happen again

Kenny has his shikai. He lost his shoulder loli as well, meaning his depression is even greater.

But as an omake that's not half bad

Hmmm... not bad.

Okay.
Here's the list then for the next week!

>Depressed Kenny
>Gin is also depressed
>Peace time headpat lessons

>>2113822
As cool as it would be to see the character development, I quit watching Bleach soon after the start of the Hueco Mundo arc.

I can't bear to see depressed Kenny, that loveable murder-hobo being sad that no one invited him to the fight and being Emo is just... I don't think I could handle it.

I have no clue what Gin and his orchard are about though and I know nothing about Gin except he seemed like a perpetual douche.

So I will vote
>Gin is also depressed
and sadly voting for my own suggestion
>Peace time headpat lessons

Although since I suggested it I am willing to withdraw my second vote if the QM decides it would be a bit on the nose.

>>2114430
Gin's got conviction like no one else. Smug dick all the time, sure, but boy does he do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. And then he succeeds, and then he fails because plot. You should at least get through the fake karakura town arc, it shows off Urahara more and a little bit of extra Yoruichi. And there is some nth dimensional keikaku in it.

>>2114579
Gin is possibly the best anti-quincy weapon the Shinigami have. They just don't know it, because his best move is still a secret.
Seriously, I doubt Blut Vene would do SHIT against it, since it's already inside them when it activates. And he could slip that shit in without them noticing, easily.
Of course, if Vene does prove to be a problem, he could always wait to activate it when they switch to Arterie.

>Ywach activates Blut Vene Anhaben
>Smug and confident that nothing can touch him now
>Suddenly gasping as a massive hole tears open in his chest
>"Since when were you under the impression that my attack would come from outside?"

>>2114648
Okay I read through some of the wiki on Benehime, but could you give me a more direct explanation about what you are talking about.

I am sure this is just a disconnect between my attention to the reading, Kubo's explanation, and what these powers could really be used to accomplish.

>>2114691
Benehime is Urahara's. Shinso is Gin's.
http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Korose,_Kamishini_no_Yari The ability I was referencing before. It pretty much instantly tears a gaping hole into things when activated.

>>2114691
Since I don't know which one you want Benihime or Shinso, I'll give both.

Benihime has the power to restructure things.
In shikai it can mold reishi into pretty much whatever shape or form Urahara wants it to, in Bankai it can tear apart and reconstruct ANYTHING, even flesh.

During the fight wit Askin his eyes exploded and he pretty much just put them back together like fucking Lego.

>Shinso

Gins blade is actually a bit more fucky than that.
But that's because Gin is the only person sane enough to actually LIE about what his sword does.

Originally we thought it can just extend to be very long and in Bankai it could become several kilometers long and it could do this in an instant.
That is however not true.

Gin purposefully lied about how long and how fast his blade could extend.
Both to fuck with his opponents and to obscure its true power.

You see Shinso doesn't simply "grow" longer.
It transforms into a fine powder or dust or whatever that then reforms into his blade.
Meaning his bankai is actually much shorter and slower than he claims to be but it's still ridiculous.

No... the true power of Shinso is the powder itself.
The blade contains a deadly poison that gets released when in powder form.
This poison dissolves and breaks down cells when makes contact with them.

Now this poison has a very short range, it can only affect you if the blade of Shinso is literally in you when it transforms.
When the poison attack is used it directly damages the Bankai, making it permanently weaker.

BUT BOI it is powerful!

Just a whiff of the stuff was strong enough to make GOD AIZEN shit himself in fear when he got hit with it.
Were it not for the Hogyoku he'd have died then and there

>>2115722
I don't recall the part about it damaging the bankai, temporarily or permanently. I know it'd be weaker as long as the shard of shinso is in someone else, but as long as it gets returned after fucking someone it should be fine, right?

>>2115737
When Gin pulled out his bankai from Aizen it was missing a tiny fragment of the sword.
And as we all know when a Bankai gets damaged it stays that way.

So I assume that in order to use that ludicrously powerful shit he'd have to sacrifice a fragment of his power.

This is just an assumption though

>>2114430
It's not a choice my dude, I'll do all of 'em.
Most likely in this very thread since it's not too low

>Feeling a bit blue balled by the Quincy which is making him agitated.

Well that's a recipe for disaster

Silbern: The base of the Sekki stone wall.

Three Sternritters are walking along the side of the wall.
Two of them are rather unhappy with this situation.

"Heeey... why are we walking?
My feet hurt!"
Giselle cried.

"To the gates!"
The one that was calm replied.

"The gates?
Why Candi?"

"You've heard what the Grand Master said!
Now move your asses before I start kickig them!"
*cough*

Candice marched forward while her two friends slogged behind.
The words of Haschwalth still rang in her ears. No matter how hard she tried she couldn't get it out of her head.

"Those two are alive...
There was no need to resurrect them with the Auswählen.
However... they are in the enemy camp.
You do know what that means...
The only way for them to still live surrounded by hollows and shinigami is if they betrayed His Majesty.
They have joined the enemy... You know the rules...
Do not suffer the heretics and their traitorous words. Kill them on sight...
Understood?"

But Candice couldn't accept that.
There was no way in hell those two would ever betray them, their family, their friends.
She gritted her teeth even now, denying the Grand Masters words until they finally reached their destination, one of the Seireimon.

The White Road Gate stood silent.
Without Jidanbo, its guardian the gate was dead stuck in place.
Placing her open palm upon the gate she tried giving it a shove and concluded that it is impossible to move for her.

"Right...
Meni!
Lift it!"
*cough*

"W-Wha?
Isn't that like... kinda impossible?"

"You are the Strength you dumb bimbo!
If anyone has enough power to lift it is you!
Now move your fat ass!"
Candice ordered her friend around while suppressing the urge to wheeze loudly.

Shrugging at that Meninas complied if only to prove Candice wrong.
She did not think for a moment that they could get out, otherwise His Majesty would've ordered her to open the gates already.
Walking up to the wall her arm has swollen greatly with muscle.
Her eyes opened wide when she dug her fingers into the concrete and under the Sekki stone.
Lifting it rather easily she looked up in surprise.

"Well look at that!"

"Told you!"
Candice snapped at her and kicked Giselle in the ass and through the open gateway.

As they passed though one by one the heavy slab of stone whipped up quite a lot of dust when Meninas let it down.
Leaving the Seireitei they entered the Rukongai and received the undiwided attention of many citizens.
Ignoring the awkward gazes they kept walking towards the bonfire that was the collective reiatsu of every spiritually active being.

"So... what IS your plan exactly Candi?
What do you want to achieve with this?"

"Isn't it obvious?!
Lil' saved our lives!
And I'll be damned if I don't pay back that favor!"

"And Bambi?"

"If she's there we might as well!"
*cough*

"mmmmmm...
My tum-tum hurts..."

"Nobody cares Giselle!"

But as they went Candice had to wonder.
How will she even save them?

>Kill yourselves

Avoiding interactions with the denizens of the Rukongai they made their way further in.
Their fight is not with these people.

But once they got closer to the source of reiatsu where Lil and Bambi are held the girls got noticeably more nervous.
Meninas in particular was quite fidgety while Giselle was more concerned with her stomach aches.
"Erm... Candi...
Are we really doing this?"

Covering her mouth Candice focused and held back her urges.
"Yeah... everything's gonna be alright...
Just suppress your power...
Get in, get the girls and get out..."

"O-Okay..."

Following the orders of Candice the three girls tried their best in order to remain unseen.
Although they aren't that used to covert ops they somehow managed to remain relatively inconspicuous.
Leaving the streets and the relatively civilized areas of the Rukongai they finally entered the more rural and wild areas of the Soul Society.
Deciding that entering the area through the front would be quite suicidal they took the long route and went around the place.

Even though their white attires clashed against pretty much everything in their surroundings they somehow remained undetected as they entered the secured perimeter around the Shiba residence.
But it has to be said that their successful infiltration of the area was partly thanks to their enormous luck as they managed to penetrate the hastily thrown together defensive line exactly when the guards were changing positions.

"Candi... I'm nervous..."

"I know but you need to shut up! Or you'll be dead instead!"

Finally they spotted the makeshift tents that the two hostile forces have erected in order to create a makeshift base.
"Okay...extra careful now!"
Candice then raised her finger to her mouth in order to signal to her friends.
They each nodded in acknowledgement and remained silent for the rest of their mission.

Now that they are in close proximity of their friends they can actually make out their spiritual signatures amidst that mass of reiatsu that the hollows and the shinigami managed to form around them.
Following the lead of Candice the three girls headed straight for their captive friends.

From the shadows they observed the patrolling and wandering enemy soldiers and snuck past them when their backs were turned.
Using this slow and steady approach they managed to elude most threats until they finally reached the "prison".
They found it strange that their friends were located in such a lightly reinforced area but otherwise they thanked their luck.
But as Candice looked at the guards she suddenly felt the urge to cough and raised her hand to her mouth.

Struggling to hold back her breath her pulse sky rocketed in moments.
Waiting for a couple minutes to calm down before removing her hand she found herself sweating profusely.

With her fits in check she calmed down and looked around the place.
Holding back a curse she concluded that there was nothing useable around here.
But suddenly she got an idea.

Taking off both of her boots she handed one to Giselle and tossed the other away.
Clattering against some stuff the noise it made attracted the guards which made Candice smile.
Signaling to her friends she took point and quickly made her way in.

Upon seeing that her friends were safe and sound she couldn't hold herself back any longer.
"Lil! Bambi!"
She spoke in a still muffled tone.
"You're okay! Thank Yhwach!"

"Oh... It's Candice..."
Liltotto spoke back to her normally.
"And the rest of the gang.
Why are you he-"

Candice rushed to Liltotto and put her hand on the petite Sternritters mouth and hushed her.
"SHHH!
Are you crazy? Do you want to give us away?
Now come on let's get ou-"
But she quickly noticed something as she attempted to free the two girls.
They had no restraints on them.
"Oh god..."

Candi took a step back as comprehension dawned on her.
"It is true...
You defected!"

Cocking an eyebrow at that Liltotto looked at Candice.
"No... not really.
We are just prisoners."

"LIAR!
Then why aren't you locked up?!"

Bambietta sighed and stood up.
"Look Candice..."

"Y-Your legs!"
Candice was relieved but shocked at the same time.

"That's not the point... not anymore..."

"What?"
She was confused once more.

"I lost and I got mutilated... Lil lost and she surrendered.
I wanted to get away while She was complacent...
Now we have one thing in common: Neither of us wants to return."

This time Meninas was befuddled.
"B-But why?"

"Because...
Our glorious leader... "His Majesty" wanted to Auswählen us.
And I don't know about you but I'd rather not serve some bastard that was willing to sacrifice me!"

Now it was Giselles time to speak up.
She clutched on Candices boot hard, her nails sinking into the leather violently.
"Lil and Bambi aren't returning?!
No... nonono... NO NO NO!"

At this a voice suddenly could be heard from outside.
"WHO'S THERE?!"

"Oh shi-"
Candice reeled back in shock.
She looked at her friends then back at the entrance.
It was clear that she could do only one thing.

>Throw your arms up.
>Make a run for it.
>Pick up Lil and Bambi and get the fuck out.
>Other? (write-in)

Okay okay. Pretty much what I expcted.

Also update will be a bit delayed while I stuff my face

Without giving it a second thought Candice rushed her friends and attempted to tuck each one under one of her armpits.
However as the two Sternritters began resisting she suddenly felt something overcoming her.
Almost with no warning she fell to her knees, clenching her mouth as she began coughing violently.
She coughed and coughed until the intensity of her fits caused her throat to slit open and her blood to pour out.

When the guards entered the tent they found Candice with hacking up blood, Giselle holding her stomach in pain and Meninas just standing awkwardly in the middle of all this.
They drew their swords and pointed at them at the new faces.
Liltotto quickly raised her hand in objection.

"Erm... if you could not cut them up that'd be very nice of you."

"EXPLAIN!"
One of the arrancars roared at her.

"They came to "rescue" us but we have no intentions of leaving as you can see.
So I ask you to put those things away before you hurt somebody."

Meninas in all that confusion just raised up both of her hands nervously while her two friends were busy keeling over on the spot.
But the arrancars were not at all convinced. In fact they remained quite hesitant, going as far as considering resurrection just in case.
However they did not get a chance to do anything stupid as someone more prominent made their appearance.

As the new reiatsu washed over them the two Exequias holstered their weapons and gave way, bowing slightly in the process.
Suddenly a small figure appeared in the entrance and calmly walked in.
She looked around and spoke up.

"What's this?"

"P-Princess these are-"
Sophia raised her hand and looked at the two prisoners.

"Are they your friends?"
Liltotto nodded and so did Bambi.
Seeing this Sophia walked up to the blonde Sternritter and squatted down next to her.
"Are you okay?"

But Candice did not respond as she was busy coughing up one of her lungs.
Liltotto walked up to her and pulled aside what little fabric Candice had on her chest.
She frowned and began chastising Candi.

"You idiot...
Are you aware of what you were doing to yourself?"

"I *cough* didn't know! *cough*
Corpses *cough* infected *cough* Gigi-"

Liltotto turned to Sophia.
"They got hollow reishi in their body.
Looks like by the time they noticed it was already too late."

Gigi looked up as she was still clenching her stomach.
"W-Wha?
N-No! I can't be! THIS CAN'T BE!"

"Aaaand the blockhead didn't even realize it..."
Liltotto concludes.

Seeing the girls tantrum increasing in intensity Sophia grabbed hold of her sword and whacked her on the head hard enough to knock her out.
Holstering her weapon she turned back to Candi.
She patted the quincys shoulder at which the sternritter looked up.
"You're sick."
Sophia spoke and grabbed hold of Candices hand.
"Come. I'll take you to father.
He can help you."

Somewhere else:

They walked quite a way already.
Still they were far away. 'Tis the price of safety.
Two figures walking side by side, silently. Tired.

In their exhausted state one of them kicks an unearthed root and stumbles.
The other quickly reaches out and stops her fall.
"Are you sore? You sure you don't want me to carry you?"

"Keep your quips to yourself Kaizar-san.
It'd be a shame if you had to regrow your tongue after all that!"

"Excuse me.
I just wanted to lighten the mood."

"Noted.
Please don't do it again!"

Continuing their walk the two of them slowly but surely made their way back to their fellows.
They were both anxious as they had to inform others of their well being.
Still, without using shunpo or sonído it was quite a journey.

"THEY ARE BACK!"

The guards shouted to each other once they spotted the two figurers.
Word of their arrival then spread like wildfire and they were surrounded by both astounded shinigami and arrancar alike.
Kaizar only stopped when he saw someone who is somewhat high ranked in the Exequias.

"Has anything happened?"

"Erm... sir..."
He pointed at a rather large pillar that was honestly hard to miss.

"Ah... I see.
Forgive me.
Please go ahead and inform them of my arrival."

"Y-Yes Sir!"

As the soldier departed Kaizar turned to Unohana.
"How do you want to do this?"

She sighed.
"I suppose I'll have to make my appearance as well."

Kaizar looked in the direction of where the Royal Guard are.
Of course he was aware of their presence already but appearances have to be kept.
Now he was contemplating how to handle the situation.

Loud shouting could be heard from quite a while away.
Arrancar, shinigami and those beyond them were stuck in a stand off.
The sparks flying off between them risked igniting the powder kegs of war.
None of them were willing to listen, to compromise, to accept the others position for various reasons.
Some of them even wanted things to escalate out of control.

But it would not happen. Not yet.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDGGhS-bPSM

A figure suddenly made his appearance.
His ghastly presence sent shivers down the spin of those that beheld him.
With no reiatsu to speak of he felt like a phantom.
Walking in calmly he radiated with confidence.

Suddenly the Royal Guard decided to speak up first.
"And here he is..."

Paying no attention to the monk you walked past him and around the table.
Facing these new faces you spoke up.
"Here I am."
Looking at the monk you frowned a little.
"How can I help you?"

One of the shinigami who was wearing a straw hat sighed with relief.
"Welcome back Kaizar-san.
And I see our beloved Captain Unohana is back as well!
I'm so relieved you two could make it!"

"Indeed."
Ukitake continued.
"As you can see the Royal Guard... well they are here."

Ignoring you almost completely the one named Kirinji stood in the way of Unohana and he twirled around the toothpick in his mouth.
"Well well well... if it isn't Unohana...
Are you still usin' the healing techniques I developed?"

"Yes Master Kirinji."
Unohana shuts her eyes.
Her slight frown betrays her distaste of the man.
Maybe his techniques are flawed, maybe they weren't exactly "His" so to speak.
Maybe she just hates him, it doesn't matter.

"Well I hope for your sake that you haven't been usin' it on these filthy animals!"
This time Unohanas eye visibly twitches.

Before things could escalate further you slam down your hand.
"I believe this is not the time to talk about that.
Firstly I want to know what you are doing here. And make it quick!"

"You think you can order us around?"
The monk asks you.

"You are under my roof. You do as I say or you can leave.
Your choice."

"Hmph...
Well if you insist, we're here for one simple reason."

Kirinji butts in on the Monks sentence.
"Because you dun' fucked up!"

"Quite.
This... situation is unacceptable."

One of the female members of the royal guard steps forth.
She is slim and her features are quite androgynous so you can't exactly be sure she's a woman.
"The Seireitei was lost, the Head Captain is dead-"

"Out of commission..."
Ukitake corrects her.

The woman gives him a disapproving gaze and continues.
"And worst of all the shinigami are now openly associating with hollows.
This situation is unacceptable."

"Strange..."
This time it's Kyoraku who retorts.
"You criticize us but oddly enough I don't recall you helping us out at all."

"That is because it is not our duty to do so."
The Monk replies.
"The defense of the Seireitei is your task. Not ours.
So you failed. And you failed spectacularly."

>>2119623
Hey if the defense of a place is their job then why do they get any say in HOW they defend it? They can use gerbils to defend the place if they see fit, it's none of the RG's business if they want to act like they have nothing to do with it and aren't responsible.

Arrogant fucks.

Shunsui began stroking his chin at that.
"Oh really?
Funny that.
But this begs the question... what are your duties exactly?
I mean guarding the Soul King is pretty obvious but I recall there being another one.
Let's see... Oh yeah!
When was the last time you people killed a Menos Grande?
In fact, when was the last time you even used your Zanpakuto for that matter?
Because it's supposed to be your duty to slay them. Isn't that right Osho?"

This displeased the monk greatly.
"Watch your mouth boy.
You don't have your precious commander around anymore to keep you safe."

"Heh... more like hold me back.
You see, I was always a troublesome child!"

"Enough!"
You slammed your hand into a table and it let out a loud noise.
"If you don't want to be useful then you might as well leave!
Nobody has any need of you here!"

"Oh but that's where you are wrong Kaizar Soize!
We are here to be useful.
Because this has been dragging on for long enough and it's about time to clean up!"

"Is that the will of the Soul King?"
Kyoraku asked sarcastically.

"It is..."
The Monk spoke without hesitation.

This ticked you off.
"And just what do you mean by "Cleaning up"?"

"Well first... the young Captain is right.
We've accumulated quite a backlog of Menos that is in desperate need of "handling".
Then once things are sorted we'll move onto what Yamamoto failed to do... twice."

Then... there was silence.
The shinigami stared blankly at the Monk, incapable of accepting what he just said.
But then a voice could be heard. It was unflinching, uncaring and powerful.

"Hyōsube Ichibē..."
There was a pause and all eyes suddenly shifted to you.
Waiting to see their reaction you were not disappointed as they stared you, expecting the worst.
"Can I take this as a declaration of War then?"

"How did y-"
Suddenly you place your hand on his back and he freezes mid sentence.
He looks forward and sees that you are not there. Slowly he turns his head around and sees you.
This managed to shake him a bit.

"Answer the damn question."

He managed to recollect himself and stared back at you.
His eyes were completely white and cold.
"Yes."

"Very well.
But when I beat you... I want you to know something."
You lean in close and whisper in his ear.
"I know who you are and I know what you did.
And as much as it makes me hate you I won't judge you for it... no.
I'm only the executioner. I'll let the guys in charge sort you out."

For the first time you see the Monk actually sweating a bit.
"Please... without your pet rock?"

"When I'm done with you... you'll wish my rock was awake so your death would be quicker!"

Removing your hand from his shoulder you cocked your head to the side.
"Let's take this outside."

"As you wish.
I suppose you also want us to move farther away.
Good. Wouldn't want to hurt our own."

"No...
It'll be fine here."

You walk a few feet away from the tent and raise your hand, giving a signal to your men to disperse.
Soon a rather large circle was cleared out just for you to serve as a ring.
The Royal Guard did not react to this, presumably because they were bewildered by your arrogance.
As they made their way out the one that was the most silent amongst them spoke up.

"Ey yo Osho!
So how do ya wanna do dis?"

"You stay out of this Nimaiya...
You've done enough as is!"

"Aight!"
The sword god shrugged and walked outside of the ring.
"If that's how you wanna do it homie I understand.
Good lucks to y'all!"

The four others lined up and stared you down.
You only saw the weapons of three of them, the monks brush, Kirinjis paddle and the fat womans spoon.
You did not draw Basilisco yet.

First it was the guy with the pompadour who attacked.
Removing the wooden "sheath" from his paddle, revealing it to be a polearm.
With the tip of the blade held high he spoke up.
"Flash from Illuminating Heavens! Kinpika!"

He grinned and his sword released in a brilliant flash of light, blinding you almost completely.
Closing your eyes you focused on your other senses and heard a high pitched noise.
Your spiritual sense revealed Kirinjis posture and you already had a mental image of what he wants to do.
Once the light faded the Hot Spring Demon leapt to action.
Disappearing completely out of everyones sight his position got revealed only moments later with an audible boom.

A ring of force traveled outward the moment his thrusting attack was stopped.
Stuck between your finger and your thumb Kinpika remained motionless and all the color drained from Kirinjis face as he stared at you.
With his mouth agape he attempted to speak.

"H-H-H-HOW?!
HOW CAN YOU REACT TO LIGHT SPEED?!"

Looking him straight in the eye you spoke up coldly.
"It doesn't matter how fast you are if your moves are this basic."

But as you were busy gloating you failed to notice the others closing in on your position.
Raising her spoon the fat woman swatted you away without much effort and she turned to her comrade.
"Get it together dearie!
You can't let him get to you!"

"R-Right!
Sorry Kirio... won't happen again!"

Shaking your head you stand up and dust yourself off.
You were careless, that much is certain.
However you will make sure not to make the same mistake again.
As you began spinning your web your fingers twitched unnaturally and made all sorts of cracking noises.

Satsified with the quickest web trap you've ever created you grab hold of the primary thread and pull on it hard.
Only... nothing happens.
Looking around nervously you start looking for the place where you may have made a mistake.
But you find nothing. Literally.

Suddenly the slender woman speaks up and one of her many mechanical hands opens up its palms.
"Are you looking for this?"
In her hand you see all of your mucus threads rolled up as if it was a ball of yarn.
Quite shocked by this you struggle to find words that can describe your current mental state.

Seeing how you're taken back by this development Kirinji springs into action once more.
Swinging his weapon downward he calls forth two springs to erupt from the ground, one of steaming hot water and one of boiling blood.
Thrusting his palm forward he causes the two liquids to assault you with full force.
Somehow you manage to stand your ground but you feel the water and blood mixture scalding your skin.
