Non-canon Omake: Bankai Training. (Patreon)

A/N 

Just a random Omake I thought of while doing my notes for the next chapter, which I'm going to try and get out tomorrow.

Non-canon Omake, Bankai Training.

“Alright, this is the Tenshintai.” Yoruichi declared, slamming what looked like a cardboard cutout resembling a humanoid figure.

“How is this supposed to help me learn Bankai or whatever?” Ichigo scowled.

“I’m also curious.” I kind of agreed with him.

“Learning Shikai is about communicating with your Zanpakutō and harmonizing with it. To master Bankai, you need to externalize it and force your Zanpakutō into submission.” She stated.

“Wait, you can just summon your Zanpakutō spirit out into the real world?” I looked at her incredulously.

“Well, it usually takes years of training to reach that stage, so we’re going to cheat. Kisuke created this method, he altered the Tenshintai a little. With this method, you can master Banaki in three days.”

“Awesome, let’s do this.” Ichigo nodded.

“Hold it, what’s the catch.” I flicked his forehead, something that was becoming a habit. He has a tendency to blatantly ignore anything else and focus only on his goal.

“If you can’t achieve Bankai in three days, you lose the chance forever.” Yoruichi said plainly.

“Alright, let’s go.” Ichigo barely gave it a second thought. “What do I have to do?”

Well, it’s his decision to make.

“Stab it with your Zanpakutō.”

He shrugged, pulling his big ass sword of his back and stabbing it. The cutout lit up in a burst of Reiryoku and split into two figures standing before us.

“Huh, you really do have two Zanpakutō spirits.” I looked them over.

One was a man in a nice looking black coat with a white collared undershirt and messy black hair with some cool glasses. The other, it looked like a bleached version of Ichigo with yellow eyes and somewhat menacing aura.

“Right, did you both hear it?” Yoruichi didn’t even bother questing it and just addressed the directly.

“Yeah, yeah.” The bleached Ichigo waived her off. “We’ll get the moron up to snuff, just get outta the way an let us do our stuff.”

“We will begin immediately.” The more refined and older spirit didn’t argue.

“Use the area as you see fit.” She shrugged.

The three of them walked off a little ways before a bunch of swords manifested around them and they began fighting.

“Huh, seems more pedantic than I imagined.”

“Did you expect Ichigo to be complicated?” Yoruichi looked at me.

“Fair.” I hummed. “Hey, got anymore of those things?”

“The Tenshintai? Why, you wanna give it a go too? You haven’t even gotten Shikai yet, it’s not gonna work for you.”

“Nah, just wanna give it a look over.”

“I have bunch of them, this thing you gave me is handy.” She waved her arm, showing off a storage bracelet I made her. “Here’s ten, have fun cause this is gonna take awhile.”

I picked the first one up, giving it a look around and I was a little curious. If this was supposed to bring out a swords spirit or whatever….what If I used something else?

My Academic mind compelled me.

I stabbed it with the True Longinus.

And…..a new figure stared back at me.

Confusion written on his face mixed with surprise and astonishment.

“….what?” Yoruichi stared at us.

“Huh, that was easier than I thought it’d be. Missing accomplished I suppose.” I blinked. “Yoruichi, meet God. God, meet Yoruichi.”

“…..what?” Yoruichi repeated again.
