Bleach My days as an Espada

"It's time to conclude this. "

Isshin brandished Engetsu engulfed in flames, jumped upward in place, and readied himself to strike down at the vacant spot.

"Ugh—" Just as Isshin was poised to eliminate White, Aizen, concealed by an invisibility cloak crafted by Urahara Kisuke, struck Isshin, leaving a significant gash across his back.

"ZHennmg—! ! "

Amid excruciating agony, Isshin and White clashed, forcing him to retreat several steps. Although he did not identify the assailant behind him, he was certain it was the razor edge of a Zanpakutō.

It's a Shinigami! There are traitors among the Shinigami secretly orchestrating this.

"Who are you! ! ! Reveal yourself, come OUT! ! ! "

"Oh, I didn't anticipate Captain Isshin to possess such acute senses. Do you require my intervention, Master Aizen? "

Ichimaru Gin squinted at Isshin, who was soaked from the downpour, while scanning his surroundings.

"Do not worry, Gin. Isshin's Bankai will take a severe toll on his body, making it impossible for him to utilize Bankai with such grave injuries. "

"If he can't defeat the captain even in his Shikai form, then this experimental subject is indeed a failure. "

Aizen turned away, seeming to have full knowledge of what would occur next.

"He's. . . the first hollow created from the essence of a Shinigami," Tousen Kaname contradicted Aizen.

However, Aizen responded calmly to Tousen, "Correct, my apologies. Still, his entire body is encased in black armor. The title 'White' is quite ironic. "

. . .

Shiba Isshin, heavily wounded, fought to fend off White's relentless assault. The significant injury on his back disrupted his Reiatsu. As Aizen noted, in this condition, he truly could not wield Bankai. Forcing its use would lead to his untimely demise.

BoooOOOM—! ! ! ! !

White unleashed Cero, propelling Isshin into the air once more, though this attack did not inflict substantial harm. White closed the distance rapidly using sonido.

At the most critical moment, Isshin pressed his left hand against the wound on his back, causing blood to flow onto his palm. He wiped the blood from his lips and held the blazing Engetsu horizontally before himself.

"ENGETSU-FIRE DANCE TENCHI—! ! ! ! "

Drawing a sharp breath, Engetsu erupted with a massive flame blade exceeding ten meters in length, crashing toward White as he charged.

Down in Karakura Town, an orange-haired girl sensed the Reiatsu and hurried over, arriving just in time to witness the fierce clash between Isshin and White.

She was unaware of the conflict between the two but was suddenly struck by an object that fell from the fiery explosion above, hitting her hard.

As the smoke cleared, she caught sight of an arm resembling a blade, clearly a feature beyond that of any human or Shinigami, as the girl continued her contemplation.

Suddenly, another figure plummeted from the sky and landed before her. It was Isshin, who had been shot down by White who was missing an arm. Isshin was taken aback that even with one of its limbs gone, the adversary's strength remained formidable.

Barely a second after Isshin made contact with the ground, White launched another downward strike with a knife, providing Isshin no opportunity to recover.

Klinck! clang! klaaa! !

swishhh~ swish

As the confrontation reached a stalemate, a Cero began to form on White's forehead once more. With such proximity, Isshin, who was heavily injured, lacked the time to evade. At a critical moment, a blue light arrow shot towards White's head, forcing White to abandon the Cero and swiftly dodge.

Both Isshin and Aizen, who stood nearby, were taken aback.

"A Quincy? "

Tousen Kaname unsheathed his Zanpakutō, prepared to confront the Quincy, but Aizen placed a hand on Tousen Kaname's shoulder to halt him.

"Let's assess the situation first. "

Fiander, observing from the side, clearly recognized that Aizen's hesitation stemmed from curiosity; he could even discern Aizen's expression that displayed intense interest.

It is evident from the narrative that he would ultimately be defeated by the protagonist, but if everything unfolded as he envisioned, Aizen would find it exceedingly dull. Such is Aizen's nature. He interacts with Fiander similarly, and even Ichimaru Gin, who approached him with malevolent intent in the original storyline, was treated with the same nonchalance.

He even engages with Kurosaki Ichigo with a laid-back demeanor. His solitude is profound, so profound that he seeks to cultivate a worthy opponent for himself.

In a fit of fury, White retaliated against the Quincy girl, who unleashed a flurry of exclusive arrows, but White evaded each one with ease.

Ultimately, she decided to put away her sacred Bow and allowed White to draw near, recognizing that White's speed was too overwhelming.

"WAIT! ! "

Isshin attempted to intervene against White, yet the pain coursing through him hindered his movement. What transpired next astonished both Isshin and Aizen, as the enraged White clamped down on the girl's shoulder, to which she responded with a smile, saying,

"This time I caught you! " Her right hand gathered a sphere of light that struck White's head with a

BOOOM—! ! ! ! !

The girl effortlessly crushed White's head, reducing it to dust. The power of a Hollow is acutely toxic to Quincies, just as the powers of Quincies are exceedingly lethal to Hollows.

If a Shinigami's ability purifies Hollows, then a Quincy's role is to obliterate them, representing the remnants of power from the era of the Spirit King's creation.

Just as Isshin and the girl believed that White had perished, a sudden flash of light erupted from his form, and a red airbag materialized on his back, signaling an imminent explosion.

Before Isshin could process this, he withstood the intense agony, utilized Shunpo to reach the girl's side, and forcefully pushed her away.

BOOOOOOOOM—! ! !

The powerful blast created a crimson cloud that ascended into the atmosphere.

"Self-detonation? Why is this occurring? ! "

Tousen Kaname appeared bewildered; he genuinely had not anticipated his creation would explode. He drew his Zanpakutō, preparing to descend and eliminate the two individuals. Ichimaru Gin quickly intervened to restrain Tousen from acting rashly, while Aizen and Fiander gazed at the girl, whom Isshin had saved in the nick of time. She bore only a shoulder wound that was still oozing blood, while the rest of her body remained unharmed.

"Are you alright? ! "

Seeing Isshin, who was gravely injured and sprawled on the ground, the girl rushed to him, her concern apparent.

However, Isshin felt a sense of defeat. As captain, it pained him to realize that a girl had risked her safety to save him. He managed a smile and told her, "I hadn't expected my battle to involve you. I'm sorry. "

The girl recognized that had he not intervened to protect her, he wouldn't have been caught in such a close-range explosion.

Noting her fearful expression, Isshin innocently smiled and reassured her, "Don't worry, you saved me, right? We're even now! By the way, what's your name? Are you human? "

Taken aback by the question, the girl faltered for a moment. After all, Yuhabach had invaded the Soul Society centuries prior, only to be defeated by Yamamoto. Currently, the Quincy's status was quite low.

She felt flustered and struggled to respond. What would the Shinigami do if he discovered she was a Quincy? After a moment of hesitation, she replied, "I am. . . Kurosaki Masaki, a Quincy. "

Isshin's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing her words, but he quickly regained his characteristic simple and sincere smile, saying, "Oh~ A Quincy! This is the first time I've encountered one; it makes sense why you're so powerful! "

"Oh, it's truly rewarding to actually see a Quincy up close. "

"My name is Shiba Isshin, and I'm a Shinigami. Please assist me! "

While everyone here was pleased, on the opposite side, Tousen Kaname angrily slammed his hand against the calculator. His rage wasn't due to the hollow's self-explosion; rather, it stemmed from the fact that his creation had reached its pinnacle of success.

Yet, such a flawless creation had been eradicated by a Quincy.

"Don't worry,"

Back in the laboratory, Aizen removed the cloak concealing his Reiatsu and smiled as he remarked, "Although it deviates from the initial plan, it surpasses the original aim. Unexpected occurrences have unfolded. Fascinating, truly fascinating! "

"Hollow, formed by the deceased soul of a Shinigami, has the ability to select a Quincy who is his complete antithesis. Are you not curious about what will unfold in the future? "

Due to Aizen and his collaborators' original intention to develop White for the purpose of creating Hollow Shinigami, they intentionally selected Hirako Shinji, who already possessed a mask, as the subject for their experiments. However, an unforeseen event has now occurred.

Fiander crossed his arms and gazed silently at Kurosaki, who was grinning at Isshin on the monitor.

Is this Kurosaki Ichigo's mother? She seems very kind; could this be why he is destined to possess multiple abilities in the future? It's quite enlightening.

The powers of Shinigami, the full bring of humans, the innate blood of the Quincy, and the abilities of the Hollow—these four major races' capabilities are all unified within a single individual.

Throughout the ages, there is only one person who has done it. Aizen really created something .....incredible .
