Bleach: Infinite Desire

"What? Bankai..."

Seeing Hitsugaya suddenly unleash his Bankai, Yu Mikami was taken aback. Without Resurrección, Yu Mikami wouldn't be a match for Hitsugaya's Bankai. He hadn't anticipated provoking Hitsugaya into disregarding Seireitei protocol to release his Bankai...

"Hmph~ Yu Mikami, you thought I wouldn't dare to use Bankai, so you've been acting fearless, right? Let me tell you, this is outside Seireitei..."

As if sensing Yu Mikami's surprise, Hitsugaya coldly addressed him. With Bankai activated, a pair of ice dragon wings appeared behind Hitsugaya, wiping away his earlier disheveled appearance!

"Damn it!"

Yu Mikami cursed under his breath, realizing that Hitsugaya had the upper hand. Taking a quick look around, he noticed they were indeed outside Seireitei's gates!

"Hmph~ What's so impressive about a half-baked Bankai!"

Although caught off guard, Yu Mikami retorted defiantly to Hitsugaya!

"So... powerful..."

Though now completely subdued by Hitsugaya's Reiatsu, Jidanbō was secretly impressed by Yu Mikami's courage to still defy Hitsugaya!

"Hmph~ I'll make you understand the consequences of arrogance!"

Hearing Yu Mikami call his Bankai half-baked, Hitsugaya was infuriated, hating when others pointed out his incomplete mastery of Bankai!

With a swoosh, Hitsugaya's figure vanished, reappearing instantly in front of Yu Mikami, striking with his blade!

"Lightning Slash!"

Yu Mikami reacted quickly, raising his sword to block Hitsugaya's attack!

Boom—the two Zanpakutō collided, neither getting knocked away, locked in a tense standoff! Yu Mikami grinned, "Heh, I said it's half-baked, and it really isn't much..."

"Hmph~ I'll make you regret saying that!"

Hitsugaya snorted angrily, then stopped arguing with Yu Mikami. He leaped back, raised Hyōrinmaru high, and slashed it down toward Yu Mikami!

A blue pillar of ice descended from the sky, crashing down toward Yu Mikami. If it hit, Yu Mikami would be instantly frozen!

"Hmph~" Yu Mikami snorted softly, quickly dodging to the side, causing Hitsugaya's attack to miss its mark!

Yet, waiting for Yu Mikami was a barrage of ice pillars from Hitsugaya, forcing him into a continuous evasive dance!

"Damn! If I could use Resurrección, Hitsugaya would be in real trouble!"

While dodging, Yu Mikami cursed inwardly. But this also served as a reminder that if he intended to blend into the Soul Society, he couldn't rely on Resurrección. Yu Mikami needed to develop other abilities!

"Why do I have to figure out my Shikai techniques myself? It'd be nice if I could just use Getsuga Tenshō like Ichigo!"

He thought, feeling a bit frustrated.

"Wait… Getsuga Tenshō… Of course! I could try condensing my dark red lightning into a blade and releasing it. How did I not think of this before…"

Dodging another ice pillar, Yu Mikami felt a surge of inspiration and couldn't help but feel pleased.

Poof—With another ice pillar crashing down, Yu Mikami suddenly realized he was completely encircled by ice!

"Yu Mikami! Let's see how you dodge this time…"

Hitsugaya, with his ice dragon wings spread, flew above and looked down on the trapped Yu Mikami, sneering coldly!

With Hyōrinmaru in hand, Hitsugaya swung again. But this time, it wasn't just an ordinary ice pillar descending but the full force of his strike. The true threat was Hitsugaya's ice dragon descending upon him! The ice flowers behind Hitsugaya faded away, one by one!

"Damn it! Looks like I have no choice but to use a technique like Getsuga Tenshō..."

Seeing himself surrounded, with Hitsugaya's powerful attack descending, Yu Mikami cursed under his breath. Immediately, he began to focus his dark red lightning onto the Thunder Slash, much like a Lightning Slash!

Sizzle—The Thunder Slash began to glow with intense lightning. However, Yu Mikami wanted more than just the Lightning Slash effect of clinging to the blade. Concentrating further, he began channeling all the dark red lightning into the blade itself!

Sizzle sizzle—An astounding scene unfolded as dark red lightning burst from the hilt of Yu Mikami's Zanpakutō, only to be compressed back into the blade!

When the blade could hold no more, Yu Mikami stopped and looked up at the oncoming ice dragon, his eyes flashing with fervor. He shouted:

"Break free of your constraints, Lightning Slash—Sky Splitter!"

Breaking free meant releasing the blade's constraints. A blade formed from dark red lightning, identical to Yu Mikami's Thunder Slash, flashed with blinding light and shot toward the descending ice dragon!

Whoosh—The blade's shadow cut through the air as if tearing through the very fabric of space. Hitsugaya's confident attack seemed fragile as Yu Mikami's advanced technique, Lightning Slash—Sky Splitter, cleaved the entire ice dragon in two!

Crack crack—Boom! With the sound of shattering, Hitsugaya's ice dragon disintegrated into countless ice fragments, crashing to the ground!

"How... how is this possible..."

This time, it wasn't only Hitsugaya, Rangiku Matsumoto, and Jidanbō who were shocked; even Ukitake Jūshirō and Kyouraku Shunsui, who had arrived after receiving Rangiku's message, were equally astonished!

"Who is this person? To break Hitsugaya's Bankai technique using just a Shikai attack is unbelievable..."

Ukitake Jūshirō remarked in disbelief!

"Hehe! Whoever he is, let's just stop them first!"

Kyouraku Shunsui chuckled after his surprise subsided!

"Yes! Let's act together!"

Ukitake Jūshirō quickly agreed!

"Haha... Captain Hitsugaya really only has that much courage..."

Seeing that he finally managed to perform a move similar to Ichigo's Getsuga Tenshō, and knowing it was even more powerful, Yu Mikami couldn't help but feel a surge of joy and taunted Hitsugaya again!

"Hmph~" Hitsugaya was furious, snorting once more. He hadn't expected Yu Mikami to possess such a powerful technique; his earlier confidence now felt like a slap in his own face!

"I refuse to believe you can use that technique repeatedly! Watch my Hyōrinmaru!"

Hitsugaya coldly replied to Yu Mikami, raising Hyōrinmaru to strike once again!

This time, Hitsugaya unleashed nine ice dragons cascading toward Yu Mikami. The ice flowers behind Hitsugaya shed three more petals!

"Haha... let's see who runs out of energy first then..."

Yu Mikami laughed heartily in response, raising his sword to meet the nine descending ice dragons!

"Break free of your constraints, Lightning Slash—Sky Splitter!"

"Let's go..."

Seeing the two engage again, Ukitake Jūshirō and Kyouraku Shunsui murmured to each other, and their bodies vanished in a flash...
