Spared

Ichigo flared up his Reiatsu. The pressure was a hundred times different than what he emitted before. It was more powerful than last time. Yamamoto raised his eyebrow at him in curiosity.

"This youngster was still holding back just now. Huh!" Yamamoto huffed to himself. Ichigo looked at him. He walked towards Yamamoto.

When he took a step, the ground under him cracked a little. No, it's not because he's fat as fuck, it's because his Reiatsu pressure is affecting his surroundings.

"Is this all of your power, boy?" Yamamoto asked. Ichigo nodded. Yamamoto narrowed his eyes.

'His Reiatsu still exceeds mine even though I'm still holding back a little. What is he?' Yamamoto thought to himself. The ground under him began to shake violently as well.

Meanwhile with Nanao and Momo, they weren't doing so well. They felt like Ichigo and Yamamoto were staring into their soul.

Most of the lieutenants were already unconscious, they were the only ones still standing.

Shunsui looked at them with a concerned expression. He decided to do the right thing. He knocked them out.

Nanao and Momo laid there on the ground, next to each other. Shunsui looked back at the fight, still having a worried expression on him.

"I hope you end the fight soon, old man, Ryoka. Take things too far and both of you will destroy Soul Society with your power." Shunsui whispered. Unohana also had a worried expression on her face. Zaraki looked at her with a confused face.

"Why the long face, woman?" Zaraki asked her. Unohana sighed.

" Look at the surroundings of the battlefield, Zaraki." Unohana answered him. Zaraki looked back at the battlefield.

"There's nothing wrong with it. It's just a plain old battlefield." Zaraki told her with a confused face. Unohana chuckled to herself.

"I knew you would say that. What I'm trying to say is that if the fight goes on and they take things too far, Seireitei could be in ashes when they're down." Unohana explained. Zaraki shrugged.

"I don't get it. It's just a battlefield. What's there to be worried about?" Zaraki asked her. Unohana shook her head.

"Someday you will see what I see, Zaraki Kenpachi. Someday you will understand the responsibility of being a captain of the Gotei 13." Unohana muttered. Zaraki looked at her again.

" What are you muttering about, woman? Don't confuse me with your boring stories. Just enjoy watching the fight like I am." Zaraki grumbled. Unohana smiled a little.

"Whatever you say, Zaraki." Unohana whispered.

Yamamoto is now using all of his strength while in Shikai. Ichigo was literally feeling the heat now. Suddenly, a giant wall of fire erupted. It surrounded him and Yamamoto, leaving no room for escape.

In a flash, Yamamoto appeared in front of Ichigo. Ichigo dodged his attempt at cutting him in half.

Ichigo tried to slice of Yamamoto's left arm. The old captain blocked his attempt with his Zanpakuto.

The stalemate of a swordfight started. Both warriors tried to find ways to outmaneuver the other. Yamamoto being the more experienced one, outmaneuvered Ichigo a lot.

But Ichigo had two things by his side, instinct and secret techniques. Every time Yamamoto either blocked or parried his attempts at injuring him, Ichigo would always know what his next move was going to be via Transparent World.

This battle was affecting the surroundings around them by the second, the flame walls burned brightly and the ground broke continuously when Ichigo and Yamamoto clashed blades.

The spectators could only see short glimpses of Ichigo and Yamamoto with how fast the both of them are using Shunpo.

But then...

*Psssh!!!!*

Blood splashed out of Ichigo's shoulder. The blood got to his face and all over his horn. Yamamoto had outsped him out of nowhere and sliced his shoulder. That was a big mistake.

That wound was immediately healed by Ichigo's High Speed Regeneration ability.

A bright blue ball was created at the tip of the Horn Of Salvation. The ball became as big as a yoga ball in a literal second. Ichigo grinned manically at Yamamoto.

"Gran Rey Cero." Ichigo growled out.

*POOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!*

Ichigo fired a giant blue beam from his horn point blank at Yamamoto. Upon release, it spins like a razor as it compresses and decompresses due to the sheer speed and raw power.

The beam erased the buildings and walls in Seireitei. It got so big that it could be seen from miles away.

"Yama-ji!!!!" Shunsui shouted out fearing for the worst. There was a large plume of smoke when the attack was over. Ichigo swiped the smoke away with a flick of his claymore.

He was staring at Yamamoto. Yamamoto was staring back at him. Yamamoto had blood dripping down from his face. The top half of his uniform has been erased and there was blood flowing down from the center of his chest.

Yamamoto slashed at Ichigo who dodged it easily. Ichigo jumped back and looked at Yamamoto.

"You are a very stubborn and stupid boy. But stubborn boys can be put down very easily. Let this old man show you how. " Yamamoto gripped Ryūjin Jakka tightly. The katana was completely engulfed in flames that it looked like it was going to turn itself to ashes.

The flaming walls that were surrounding them burst out for a moment before disappearing into nothing.

The flames on Ryūjin Jakka shot out but then it suddenly disappeared. It looked like the flames were absorbed back into the blade itself. The sun was shining down on them.

Ichigo widened his eyes as he saw the condition Ryūjin Jakka was in now.

Currently, the blade takes the form of an ancient and worn-out katana, severely scorched by fire. The scorched blade had some smoke coming out of it.

"Bankai.... Zanka no Tachi!" Yamamoto declared while holding his katana tightly.

Ichigo widened his eyes. His golden-yellow eyes glowed brightly when Yamamoto said those words.

"What....." Shunsui was in disbelief. Ukitake couldn't handle the facts and fainted, dropping to the ground.

The Captain Commander had activated his Bankai to fight a Ryoka of all people. All of them were in disbelief, except for Kenpachi, he just got even more excited from the events that transpired.

"Fuck Yeah!!" Kenpachi shouted out while grinning like a psycho. Somehow, Aizen was surprised but then she looked at Ichigo with a lustful glint in her eyes.

"Making the Captain Commander unleash his Bankai to defeat you. When I get the Hōgyoku, I'm going to have a fun time fighting you, Ichigo~." Aizen whispered while staring at Ichigo's body.

"You are very lucky today, boy. You are now the second person who have the chance to fight me when I'm using my Bankai, boy. I suggest you enjoy the precious seconds you have left." Yamamoto told him. Ichigo narrowed his eyes.

"I don't think so, old man. Just because I don't have my own Bankai doesn't mean I can't find ways to defeat you! " Ichigo shouted. Yamamoto huffed.

" Even when facing death, you still have the need to be arrogant. This beating will be a good learning experience for you. " Yamamoto muttered. He dashed towards Ichigo.

*FSHOOOM!!!*

While dashing, a flame trail was created by his feet when Yamamoto dashed towards him.

Ichigo widened his eyes and dodged an upwards slash from Yamamoto. Yamamoto missed, but he cut out a part of Ichigo's white shihakusho.

'Holy shit.' Ichigo cursed in his mind.

Yamamoto jumped up a little and swiped his katana downwards. Ichigo stepped out of the way. The tip of the katana tapped the ground, creating a small spark.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!*

Everything behind Ichigo was eradicated to nothingness. Ichigo narrowed his eyes and used Sonído to get away from Yamamoto.

"Yama-ji! Stop this! You'll destroy the Soul Society!!! We're here to defeat the ryoka, not destroying our home!! " Shunsui shouted at Yamamoto. Yamamoto stopped his next move.

" I forgot about that..." Yamamoto whispered to himself

'What the fuck did we get ourselves into, King??' Zangetsu asked Ichigo in his mind.

'I don't fucking know, I didn't know he was going to jump in the fight in the first place? ' Ichigo replied while still on guard.

All of a sudden, red flames manifested around the blade of Zanka no Tachi.

"Zanka no Tachi, Kita:....." Yamamoto got into a sword stance.

" Oh fuck!" immediately used Sonído to run away.

"Tenchi Kaijin!"

Yamamoto appeared in front of Ichigo. Ichigo immediately raised his claymores. He slashed his flaming katana at Ichigo horizontally.

*FWWWWOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!*

An enormous wave of fire was generated when Yamamoto slashed his katana. The wave of fire obliterated everything in front of him.

A blinding light engulfed everyone's sight....

.

.

.

When everything was over, Yamamoto looked at Ichigo who was looking at him with a shocked face.

Ichigo's body was sliced in half horizontally. His Zanpakutōs were in literal pieces, only the hilt was left in Ichigo's hands.

Ichigo dropped to the ground and looked at the sky in shock. Yamamoto sighed. And his scorched katana returned to it's sealed form, a wooden walking cane.

"It's a shame, boy. You were defeated with just one attack from my Bankai. I was expecting more from you. " Yamamoto muttered. Ichigo looked at Yamamoto in the eyes.

" What... are you going to do to Rukia, old man?" Ichigo asked him.

" She will be executed by The Sōkyoku at Sōkyoku Hill. " Yamamoto revealed. Ichigo looked at Yamamoto angrily.

" You.... heartless asshole! She's one of the good hearted ones. Don't you guys see that?! I thought you guys would've objected the Central 46's jurisdiction! Tch! Guess you guys are too pussy for that. " Ichigo coughed a little. Yamamoto gripped his walking cane tightly.

" What did you say about me, boy? " Yamamoto asked him angrily.

" I said what I said, pussy! You're the Captain Commander! Act like one! You don't take shit from 46 people who hide behind wooden boards that have numbers on them! This is exactly why I'm doing this! I want to save her from this bullshit that you guys are going to do to her! You could've suspended her for some time. But no, killing her was the best option." Ichigo shouted. Yamamoto glared at him but stayed silent.

"Do you know how stupid that sounds! Do you people seriously think the law is more important than a person's life!? " Ichigo asked him. Yamamoto tapped his cane on the ground hardly.

" We Shinigami have rules to uphold. We cannot be lenient towards those who break them,even those who are good hearted. " Yamamoto muttered.

" If I was in your position I would fight the Central 46 for this unjust decision. You're getting too old and your balls are getting smaller and smaller each day, old man. It's time to pass the title on to someone else. Maybe someone like me will do the trick. " Ichigo grinned at him. Yamamoto huffed.

" No chance, ryoka. The Shinigami would rather have Captain Zaraki as the Captain Commander than you. " Yamamoto denied. Ichigo sighed.

" Well I tried. But know this old man, I will be back stronger than before. And the next time you see my face, you will regret not killing me when you first laid your eyes on me." Ichigo growled out. Yamamoto huffed.

" I will believe it when I see it, boy. " Yamamoto turned around and started walking away.

" Wait! " Ichigo shouted. Yamamoto stopped and looked at him.

" I haven't gotten your name, old man! " Ichigo told him. Yamamoto sighed.

" My name is Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. You will address me as Captain Commander Yamamoto." Yamamoto introduced himself.

" And what is your name, ryoka boy? " Yamamoto asked back. Ichigo grinned at him.

"Kurosaki Ichigo. And one day, I'll be the one who takes over your position...
