Edit: Line breaks are being an ass so "—" is the line breaks.

"How did we end up like this again?" Asked the voice of Ichigo bleeding profusely from all over. The smell of blood reaked of of him, next to him lay the probe form of Ganju.

"As if I knew!" Ganju growled out before coughing abit. In front of them stood A man withslate gray eyes and long black hair, which he keeps up in intricate white headpiece, wearing three on top of his head and another two on the right side. In addition to the standard captain uniform, he wears a white scarf. He wears fingerless white tekkō which only cover the back of his hands. In his hands was the handle of a sword as Sakura petals danced around him.

"Royuka, I cannot let you pass any further." The man stated as petals began to dance around him faster and gave off a 'Wizz'ing sound. The beautiful pink petals shot forward to both Ichigo and Ganju. In a flash there was a beautiful is a slender and well-endowed woman of average height. She has dark skin, golden irises, and black hair. Her hair is waist-length and kept in a ponytail with chin-length bangs framing the sides of her face. attire consists of a black, backless, sleeveless undershirt, an orange over-shirt with two white straps on each shoulder, a large beige sash around her waist, and black stretch pants with a pair of lightweight brown shoes.

"Sorry, I can't let them die" The woman said before picking both boys up and flashing away into nothing as the two boys disappeared with her.

"Yoruichi…" The man growled out as the petals swirled around him.


The two boys, Ichigo and Ganju, with the now named Yoruichi carrying them appeared in a somewhat large room, it looked like a desert with rocky forms.

"Ichigo, what did I tell you about running into things like that?" The now named Yoruichi said as she dropped the two boys on there butts as she slowly walked up to the orange haired boy. Slowly the womanly anger began to come of her in waves as Ichigo shivered looking over at her.

We currently see Ichigo listening to a man That is a tall, lean-built man with light skin and gray eyes. His hair is messy and light-blond almost pale, with strands framing the sides of the face and hanging between his eyes, and he has chin stubble. He wears a dark coat, which sports a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, with a dark green shirt and pants underneath. His coat's design is reminiscent of an inverted captain's haori. He wears traditional Japanese wooden sandals and a striped dark green and white bucket hat which currently shadows his eyes.

"Alright Hat-and-Clogs what did you just say!?" Ichigo yelled out to the man in front of him as Yoruichi soon appeared next him.

"Kisuke said you can achieve Bankai in 3 Days Ichigo pat attention…" Yoruichi deadpaned at the boy. Seriously how stupid could the kid be?

"As I was saying, it is possible to achieve your bankai in 3 Days, but remember in 3 Days is all the time we have to save your girlfriend." The now named Kisuke said as he adjusted his hat.

"FOR THE LAST TIME SHES NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!" Ichigo yelled out comically while Flailing his arms around like a child. Around him all his friends that were the had to suppress a laughter that threatened to break out.

Yoruichi then presented chigo with a strange looking doll.

"The doll's name is Tenshintai, an instrument developed by the Shinigami Research and Development Institute. The device is used to force a Zanpakutō spirit to materialize" Yoruichi said to Ichigo motioning to the big white human doll.

"Woah…" Was all Ichigo could draw out as Kisuke had to stifle a laugh.

She then reveals in order to attain Shikai, communication is required between the wielder and the spirit, but in order to achieve Bankai, the materialization and submission of the spirit is required, which signifies the opposite of Shinigami going into the Zanpakutō spirit's world - instead, the spirit needs to be summoned into the Shinigami's world.

"Also since you were able to stand up to Kenpachi to the end, he is already in the materialization level subconsciously." Yoruichi continued on.

Once saying that he remembers the fight exactly his fight with Kenpachi, where Zangetsu came to his aid after he was cut down, and realizing Yoruichi realizes he has already experienced this.

"Ichigo all you need to do is stab the Tenshintai with your Zanpakutō and the spirit will materialize, after which I will keep it materialized with my power" Yoruichi tells Ichigo.

"But you only have one chance with it, and three days is the deadline to force Zangetsu into submission. Yoruichi was about to speak once more but Ichigo suddenly ran forward and stabbed his sword into it.

"I don't want to know anymore because there is only one way to finish this, which is giving it all I have unti the end!" Ichigo shouts

Seconds later, his Zanpakutō disappears from Ichigo's hand, and soon a materialized Zangetsu, standing behind him.

"Ichigo you've healed up fast…" said Zangetsu as Zangetsu slams his hands onto the ground as blades summon from the ground.

As Yoruichi asks Zangetsu if he heard her conversation with Ichigo, he states he did. Telling her he will decide the nature of the training method, she asks if he can start right away. Agreeing, Zangetsu, crouching to the ground, touches it with one hand. This causes hundreds of even more swords, each resembling Zangetsu, but none exactly identical, to rise to the surface.

"Only one of these swords is the real Zangetsu, which is the only one capable of defeating me, and if Wish for me to submit, you must find the real sword and use it to defeat me before I kill you." Zangetsu says Each picking up a sword, Zangetsu and Ichigo attack.


Ichigo, exhausted, remains lying where he has fallen. As Yoruichi yells to push himself to get up.

"If you cannot get up on your own, I will make You get to your feet by force." Zangetsu says

Getting up Ichigo grabs another sword and charges twords Zangetsu. With Zangetsu, breaking Ichigo's 18th sword, charges at him.

Ichigo, then spotting a sword similar in appearance to Zangetsu's familiar Shikai Forman top of the hill he rushesup twords it narrowly dodging strikes from Zangetsu, reaching the top he picks it up,

'This has to be the one' Ichigo thought to himself thinking has found the true sword with which he will defeat Zangetsu.

Turning around to block a strike from Zangetsu the sword shatters the first time it meets Zangetsu's sword, Zangetsu's next attack connects, wounding Ichigodeeps across the back.

"Ichigo… each one of the swords represents a shard of Your soul: the true form of Zangetsu is the part of You which represents your will to fight, and the one which I just shattered represented your dependence on me, one of the most brittle parts of your soul."

"Ichigo If you cannot find strength in your own soul, you can forget about Bankai. Come again ichigo get up and attack once more, for you dont not have time to lie around." Zangetsu says as Ichigo gets up and picks another sword.

Ichigo finely blocks Zangetsu's strike. After 51 swords, Yoruichi starts to notices Ichigo no longer falls whenever one of his swords breaks. Pulling a jagged-bladed sword out of the hillside once more, Ichigo charges at Zangetsu again, deflects Zangetsu's own attack and responds with a jab of his own. The jab nearly hits its mark, but Zangetsu, leaping into the air, throws down his sword, breaking Ichigo's. Appearing next to Ichigo, he strikes him on the face, throwing him against a boulder.

"Ichigo never to look away from your opponent,"

he tells him the last sword was his 52nd. Noticing a growth in Ichigo's fighting style, having deflected Zangetsu's attack instead of simply lunging forward, Yoruichi, contemplating the amazing speed at which Ichigo achieves his unbelievable advancement, she thinks Kisuke might have been right about Ichigo from the start.


As the first training day draws to a close, Yoruichi, noticing each of Ichigo's swords lasts more than five minutes and it takes more than a normal impact to break them, realizes she is at her limits to keep it going. As Ichigo is attacking with a scimitar-like sword, she ceases her maintenance of Zangetsu's materialization, causing him to revert into the Tenshintai.

"the first day of training is done." She announces to the prepllexed ichigo. During his break, Ichigo, went for a dip in the training ground's hot spring, and began to wonder if the training day being over indicates it is night time, since there is perpetual light in the training grounds and he has lost his sense of time. As he washes his face, he realizes the water has healing properties, and all his aches and pains are gone. Putting water in his mouth, he, hoping it will heal the cut he has there, spews it out when Yoruichi states her intention of taking a bath as well. Relaxing when Yoruichi changes her shape into that of a cat, he asks Yoruichi about the training grounds, having noticed they look similar to the ones under the Urahara Shop.

"Your training is done ichigo…" Zangetsu announces to ichigo as he reverts back into the doll. Ichigo on one knee and his clothing torn with cuts all over his with dry blood across himself.

Yoruichi began to walk towards him as she watched him collapse from exhaustion. Sighing she picked him up and disappeared in a flash.


Sitting in the captains meeting room was Yamamoto all by himself.

"Forgive me Father, Master… you understand why I do this don't you?" He mumbled to himself as the old man help his cane tightly as the strongest Shinigami know to the soul Society let out a lone tear.


"Yes I do…" A lone figure said, that lone figure was Naruto. The king of soul Society. The man who basically became a god in a world without gods. A man who's defied odds for millions of years. A man so strong it would make Yamamoto look like a newborn child.

Stepping out of the golden light Naruto emerges still in the same outfit he was in thousands of years ago when I meet Yamamoto and took him in. Slowly his body shimmered out of existence without a sound.
