Bleach: New Generation

Chapter 26: Training Arc, Iron Fist and the Beast of the 11th

Kazui's POV:

"Uh, respectfully, who are you?", I asked with a small voice.

"Captain Kenpachi Zaraki", the captain grinned wildly and raised his sword, "And now you know the name of the person you're going to fall to"

Before Kenpachi could slice downwards, the white-haired captain quickly parried his attack and pushed me away. He gave him a stern look before glancing at me.

"Sorry for the inconvenience, Kazui. Seems like Captain Zaraki is a little too enthusiastic about training", he nodded when the crazy captain sighed and backed off, "The name's Captain Kensei Muguruma"

I shook his hand when he offered it. Behind him, Kenpachi tapped his sword on the ground impatiently.

"Hey, Muguruma. Hurry up will ya. I wanna fight this kid"

Kensei's face twitched and ignored him, "Kazui. We'll be teaching you how to fight with a sword. Defense, offence, all of that in a single battle. And of course, you'll be going up against both of us"

My jaw dropped. How was I able to go up against two total powerhouses when I'm just a rookie in training. I then sighed and gripped the hilt of my Zanpakuto. If this was for strength and swordsmanship, then I needed to polish up my skills in that area. There was no going back, even if I had a choice.

I glanced at Ichika, who gave me a reassuring smile while Kaito gave me a thumbs up and a look that says, 'try not to die'.

Yeah, that was all the encouragement I needed.

"So, when do I start?"

So that we wouldn't destroy the beautiful environment around us, the two captains and I found a large piece of land to start training. Kensei and Kenpachi drew their Zanpakuto. The white-haired captain took a deep breath.

"Bankai"

A swirl of wind erupted from where Kensei stood. Dust and leaves flew erratically as the force of the air moved everything surrounding him. I could feel the strong energy as Kensei's Bankai took place. As the wind calm down and faded away, I could finally see what he looked like.

Thick steel bands wrapped around his entire arms and a long steel arch formed over his head. Kensei held small blades that stuck out from his knuckles. There wasn't much difference in his appearance except his arms, but that all the more meant that he might hold some high power. I shouldn't underestimate this guy

"Tekken Tachikaze"

Kenpachi looked over to him and smirked, "Tssh, you need to use a Bankai against this kid?"

"Sorry I didn't meet up to your standards, Captain Zaraki. But the only way this kid will get stronger is by getting beat up himself", Kensei says calmly as he cracked his neck.

"I suppose so", Kenpachi grins towards me, "Well, you ready, Kazui?"

"Captain or not, who do you take me for?", drawing my Zanpakuto, I could feel a strange energy emitting from it, "I'm the son of Ichigo Kurosaki. Let's get this over with, Kenpachi, Kensei"

The two nodded and waited as they watched me prepare my Shikai.

"Conquer, Mugetsu"

A blinding flash of black and red energy flowed out of the blade and covered my entire body. The Spiritual Energy erupting from the tip itself was almost enough to make me drop it, but I held on as usual. The form of the sword changed, growing larger and taking on a new appearance. The abnormally large Zanpakuto with a grey edge and a black blade. The sword guard disappeared and turned into long bandages that wrapped around the hilt of the Zanpakuto.

After a second of releasing my Shikai, the two captains immediately attacked me. Crap, they were strong, almost as strong as me. I needed to take down one captain first before handling the next one. They both pushed me together, pressing their sword against mine to try and overpower me. I couldn't let that happen.

With the remaining strength that I had, I pushed them both back and used my Shun-So-Hi (Shunpo or Flash Step, Sonido, and Hirenkyaku hybrid technique) to gain some distance from the two of them. I used the bandages to spin my blade around and gain enough momentum for a throw.

I launched my blade towards Kensei and attempted to hit him, but the man grabbed my blade instead and used it to launch himself towards me. His fist was prepared for a powerful punch, but I blocked it with my blade just in time as I dragged it back. The punch was enough to be able to knock me back far but using my sword, I planted it into the ground and I slid back to support myself.

The next his was by Kenpachi as he slashed down on me. I dodged it quickly but was met by another fatal strike. Behind me, Kensei used all of his might to land a blow on me. I spat out blood as his fist hit me, but I kept the pain inside as I kept fighting on.

But that wasn't all, Kensei's punches had more. The hit was only the beginning as there was also an explosive force that followed, knocking me forward. I almost would've got cut by Kenpachi if I hadn't blocked his attack mid-air.

So this was Kensei's abilities? Explosive force upon impact was this Bankai's power, which meant I had to keep a distance away from him.

Before I could strategize further, Kenpachi interrupted by almost slicing off my head.

"What's wrong, Kazui? You struggling a bit?"

I spat out some blood and smirked at him, "No problems here. I'm just finding a way to knock both of you out"

I struck forward, pressing my sword blade against his. Since he had the height advantage, all I had to do was get higher. I used the strength of how solid of a hold that Kenpachi's blade had and grabbed onto it. Blood leaked out of my hands, but this plan was totally worth it. I swung myself upwards, raising my blade as I prepared my descent.

I could feel unintentional energy building up. I didn't feel like doing a Getsuga, but my sword seemed to have felt otherwise. Black and red sparks erupted out of the blade and just before I could strike down, I found myself shouting out the words:

"GETSUGA TENSHOU"
