'This woman is trying to embarrass me! ' Zaraki thought to himself angrily while he was being supported by Unohana. Unohana looked at him.

"Zaraki, why did you interfere?" Unohana asked him with a frown on her face. Zaraki laughed.

"I don't know! My body just moved on its own. And there was this voice in my head that kept telling me to help! " Zaraki explained. Unohana chuckled. Zaraki looked at her.

" Don't heal my scar with your tricks, woman!" Zaraki continued. Unohana looked at him with a curious face.

"Why shouldn't I, Zaraki?" Unohana asked him.

"Because I'll have the same scar at the same place like yours!" Zaraki grinned broadly at her. Unohana sighed.

"That is not a good excuse to not let me heal your wounds, Zaraki Kenpachi. " Unohana scolded him. Zaraki groaned.

" Just let it slide, woman! Why do you have to ruin all of the fun!? " Zaraki whined. Unohana shook her head.

Back in the Captain's Assembly Hall, the room was filled with tension. Everyone had a serious face, even the playful Shunsui had a serious face on.

"Captain Zaraki and Captain Unohana haven't returned for a while. Should we send a search party?" Toshiro pointed it out.

" No need, Captain Hitsugaya. We're here."

Everyone looked at the newcomers and breathed out a sigh of relief.

It was Unohana and Zaraki. Zaraki had a bandage wrapped around his collarbone. Yamamoto grunted.

"Report, Captain Unohana." Yamamoto ordered. Unohana nodded.

"We have encountered Ichigo—I mean the ryoka and Captain Zaraki fought him." Unohana slapped herself mentally for messing up a little.

" Ichigo? Did he introduce himself?" Byakuya asked her. Unohana nodded.

"Yeah! He's super strong! He hit me with this blue ball Kidō thing right here and I was on the ground already!" Zaraki pointed at his healed gut. Yamamoto opened one of his eyes and looked at Zaraki with curiosity in his eyes. Whispers filled the room. Yamamoto sighed and tapped his cane on the ground. That shut them up.

"Explain, Captain Zaraki." Yamamoto looked at him. Zaraki grinned at him.

"He told me it was a Kidō spell I think he's lying! Then this woman arrived and healed me up, and we continued to battle. "Zaraki started explaining.

" And what of the ryoka? Did you defeat him?" Yamamoto asked another question. Unohana decided to explain herself.

" Unfortunately, he didn't. Zaraki had used all of his power but he was easily defeated by Ichigo. I decided to grab Zaraki and retreat. " Unohana lied to Yamamoto's face. Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

" What do you think about his strength?" Yamamoto continued asking.

" His swordplay is basic at best but he is experienced enough to give the best swordsman a hard time blocking his strikes. He also relies on his instincts heavily. But his Reiatsu is as high as a captain's, maybe even higher since he didn't use all of his power." Unohana answered. Yamamoto stroked his beard.

" Commander, may I offer a suggestion?" A captain wearing glasses raised her hand and asked the ancient captain.

" You may, Captain Aizen. " Yamamoto looked at her. Aizen had waist length hair tied in a ponytail enhanced by square glasses along with soft brown eyes. She wore the standard Shinigami uniform with a captain's haori.

"We should send multiple captains with Bankai. The Ryoka may be strong, but there is no chance he can match multiple Captains who have unlocked their Bankais." Aizen explained her plan. Yamamoto was interested.

" Who do you suggest we send? " Yamamoto muttered.

" I suggest we send Captain Kuchiki, Captain Soifon and Captain Hitsugaya. They are skilled enough to give the ryoka a very hard time. I also suggest we send backup. " Aizen answered with an innocent smile on her face.

" Who will be the backup, Captain Aizen? " Toshiro asked her. Aizen's smile couldn't get any more wider.

"All of us in this room except for the ones who will fight the ryoka will be the backup. Captain Commander will be our last resort." Aizen answered the short captain. Gasps could be heard all around the room.

"Your plan is insane, Captain Aizen. I like it. " A thin, tall, and youthful man with silver hair told her with a wide mocking smile on his face. He is Captain Gin Ichimaru, Captain of the 3rd Division. Aizen smiled back at him.

"Thank you, Captain Ichimaru." Aizen told him. Yamamoto was looking at Aizen intensely.

" Do you know what you're saying, Captain Aizen? " Yamamoto asked her. Aizen nodded.

" Of course I do, Commander. This Ryoka is very dangerous. I'm just suggesting we fight fire with an even bigger fire. " Aizen answered. Yamamoto huffed and stayed silent for a while.

" Captain Kuchiki, Captain Soifon, Captain Hitsugaya. Move out and find the ryoka. Your lieutenants will stay back with the other captains. Do not under any circumstances, underestimate him! Use your own Bankai if it comes down to it! Go! " Yamamoto ordered. The three captains nodded and disappeared from the room.

Ichigo was walking around the Seireitei with a bored face. "Is there no restaurants here? What kind of shitty society is this. At least I know how I'm going to make money here now." Ichigo grumbled while looking around his surroundings.

" All I see is houses, houses and more houses." Ichigo continued his grumbling. Ichigo then looked up to the sky and widened his eyes. There was a blizzard ongoing in Soul Society. Snow was falling down everywhere.

"Sit Upon the Frozen Heavens, Hyōrinmaru." Ichigo heard a voice.

Ichigo widened his eyes and unstrapped his Zanpakutōs. He assumed a battle stance and waited for the enemy to attack him.

"Rokui Hyōketsujin."

Out of nowhere, five snowflake-shaped ice crystals appeared on the ground in a pentagonal formation around Ichigo.

Ichigo was in the middle of the pentagonal formation. Suddenly, each snowflake sends a line of ice towards him, the space within the pentagon is encased in a large pillar of blue ice, trapping Ichigo.

Toshiro landed on the ground far away from the pillar of ice. Byakuya and Soifon appeared on his left and right.

"That... was too easy." The short captain muttered and they assumed a battle stance.

The battlefield was silent. You could even hear Ōmaeda farting from the distance.

Ichigo was not moving an inch at all, until he moved his eyes to glare at Toshiro. Said captain gritted his teeth. The ice pillar trapping Ichigo started to crack up.

*Crack...Crack.... CRACK!!!!*

The ice pillar exploded into pieces. A golden light enveloped the area. The captains all covered their eyes with the hands.

When the light died down, Toshiro heard footsteps approaching him. He opened his eyes to see Ichigo staring at him in the eyes.

"Is that all you got, kid?
