Extra 8: Bleach (12)*

"What's wrong, Syunsui Taichou?" - Soi Fong asked as she noticed the change in the Eighth Squadron captain's expression, after all, he was happy a few seconds ago.

"May I know what the fuck is going on here!" - roared the old Captain of the First Squadron as he looked at the mess his subordinates had caused. The two Kenpachi had stopped their battle as the others looked at each other, but everyone's expression changed when they noticed how the old man flew off thanks to a huge whitetail.

"Stupid, I was watching a good fight" - Kurama snorted neutrally - "Ok, you may continue"

A deep silence pervaded the place as the temperature gradually began to rise.

"How dare you disrespect me, you brat!" - Yamamoto roared as he released his sword.

"Old man, don't let anger cloud your judgment!" - Kyōraku exclaimed in terror - "If you release your sword, you will destroy the entire Seireitei!"

Yamato seemed to have ignored his student's words because slowly his staff began to change shape, taking the form of an old Katana.

"What are you going to do with that toothpick?" - Kurama asked disdainfully as he snapped his fingers and in the process, creating a barrier around the area - "Are you going to help me remove the piece of meat between my teeth?"

"I don't think that's a good idea old man" - muttered the two students of the old man, only to feel like a huge spiritual pressure.

"What is this power?!" - Jūshirō exclaimed in terror because it was obvious that this power didn't come from their teacher.

"Impossible!" - Mayuri shouted as he felt his body being pressed against the ground - "An entity can't have this kind of power that defies all logic or reasoning!"

Soi Fong was barely maintaining consciousness as she stared in terror at the man in front of her.

"I think we opened the Pandora's Box" - Kyōraku muttered as he looked at the old shinigami who had taught him all those years ago.

Kenpachi and Ritsu for their part could only groan in pain as they felt as if a mountain fell on their shoulders.

"That power!" - Aizen exclaimed in excitement, after all, this was the kind of power he wished to achieve.

"Gin? Why are you acting so strange?" asked Rangiku in confusion as he saw how his childhood friend was sweating uncontrollably.

"Do you not feel that pressure at all?" - Gin asked in surprise as he noticed how her friend was as if nothing.

"Pressure? What pressure?" - Rangiku asked as she cocked her head to one side.

"Strange" - muttered Gin as he looked around and noticed how some of the people present were as if nothing - "Rukia, Momo, Nanao, Kiyone, Shūhei, Nemu, Isane, Yachiru if it wasn't for the presence of a man, he'd say that Ryoka has a weakness for women."

"Shūhei how come you're all right!" - A bald man exclaimed.

"No fucking idea, Ikkaku!" - Shūhei replied in surprise.

"Think!" - Ikkaku exclaimed to see if there was a way to stop feeling so much pressure.

"Hmm" - Shūhei began to think - "I didn't do anything special."

"That's right!" - Mayuri exclaimed as he looked at his lieutenant - "Nemu! Can you move?"

"Affirmative, Mayuri-sama" - nodded Nemu with a neutral expression on her face.

"Tell me, have you shown hostility against that man?" - Mayuri asked seriously - "Or at least planned to harm him?"

"Negative, Mayuri-sama" - answered Nemu with neutrality - "You have not ordered me to perform any kind of action against that Ryoka."

"Got it!" - Mayuri exclaimed, but before he could say anything else, he felt the pressure on him increase.

"I see that you understood, although this doesn't change anything" - said Kurama neutrally - "But let's just say that I prefer you to keep silent because people like you repulse me. I'm sincerely doing my best to resist the urge to kill you."

"You make it sound like you know me" - Mayuri said weakly as he felt as if his bones were going to break.

"I may not know you, but I knew a man similar to you" - Kurama replied as he looked at the clown-like man - "A mortal who sought to gain all the knowledge in the world. He was so obsessed with his dream, that he ruined hundreds of lives to try to get past the most important obstacle of his existence, time."

Mayuri was silent when he heard this as he understood what the white-haired man was trying to say.

"He created a technique that made his soul take over another person's body and in the process devoured the victim's soul thus strengthening his own" - Kurama continued as a sadistic smile appeared on his lips.

"The soul also ages" - muttered Mayuri with difficulty - "That's why he devoured those souls, he wanted to use them to rejuvenate his soul."

"Exactly" - Kurama nodded as he looked at the Seireitei science squad leader - "Orochimaru was a fucking sicko, but that didn't diminish the merit of his intelligence, a pity he died in the worst possible way."

Mayuri was silent when he heard this because, in a way, he could see himself as the protagonist of that story.

"But you know what's funny about all this?" - Kurama asked as he appeared in front of Mayuri - "Is that he managed to do what no other could, he managed to create life."

Mayuri's eyes widened in surprise when he heard this because that was what he wanted the most, him being able to recreate the miracle of the gods.

"Orochimaru created two clones with his DNA that possessed compatible artificial souls" - Kurama continued as he watched closely as Yamamoto seemed to be struggling to move - "Now they have a family just like any mortal"

"Ack!" - Mayuri exclaimed in pain.

"Stop!" - Nemu exclaimed as she noticed how her master was being hurt.

"Do you want to help him despite all the damage he has done to you?" asked Kurama as he looked curiously at the woman who had stood in front of the clown-faced man.

"Mayuri-sama is my creator, he is my father" - replied Nemu as she looked coldly at Kurama.

"Ironically, the artificial soul is so human while many humans are worse than the Hollow that you fight" - said Kurama while shaking his head - "Ok, I won't hurt him anymore, but from now on, you will be my servant."

"I will" - muttered Nemu, only to notice how Mayuri's expression relaxed, as well as the rest of the people present.

"I think you overdid it with Soi Fong" - sighed Yoruichi as she walked to her unconscious student.

"The punishment is proportional to the negative emotions they had against me" - replied Kurama as he shrugged - "Seriously, Yoruichi, you should talk to that girl to get her life together because of the level of obsession she has with you is borderline unhealthy. She wanted to kill me just for being around you."

"Ok, I'm going to talk with her" - Yoruichi sighed as she shook her head because she could tell the huge obsession Soi Fong had with her.

"Yachiru, could you help me?" - Yamamoto asked as he felt his body losing its strength, though what was damaged the most was his pride. Not even Yhwach had hurt him this much, and what was worse was that Kurama hadn't even moved, he just used his Reiatsu to leave him in this deplorable state.

"Sorry Genryūsai, I'm in pain" - Yachiru said as she stood up regretfully - "Ugh."

"Be thankful that you and the one next to you, only wished to fight against me" - replied Kurama with disdain - "If you were like the old man, you guys would be in a much worse state."

"That doesn't change the fact that you have to treat a lady better" - snorted Ritsu as he looked around - "Though it's pitiful that you defeated us all without the slightest effort."

"Not for nothing did he make Yhwach-sama apologize" - Meninas snorted as she glared at the Shinigami. Their king was able to see the difference in powers and accept his defeat, and with that, he managed to achieve a prosperous dimension for their race while the Shinigami in their eternal arrogance threw themselves against a superior being.

With that alone, she could see how superior her race was in comparison to the brute Shinigami.

Yamamoto was silent as he listened to this. If she had told him this before, he would not have believed it in the slightest, not with the knowledge he has of Yhwach, but now there was no choice but to accept the truth.

Aizen for his part did not know how to react to all this because he never thought he would meet such a monster. He never thought that an entity of such power would get in the way of his plans despite all the countermeasures he planned, after all, the Ryoka was too strong to be controlled.
