Breach (2)

The sound of trembling weapons was the only other sound Ino could hear as she saw over a dozen hollows climb out of the pit in the ground. Their yellow eyes caused all of the Shinigami there to go numb with fear. No one was moving or running; they simply stood there. Even though was a trainer Ninja even Ino found herself stuck motionless.

"Dammit!" Ino bit down on her lip hard enough to make it bleed. The quickly overridden her sense of fear as she yelled. "Snap out of it! Prepare to fight!" She yelled as loudly as she could and her voice had actually woken everyone out of their daze. Drawing their swords and preparing their Kido spells they were still scared beyond belief.

Hollows were terrifying existences and the Shinigami Rei had dealing with them were few and in between. After all it was a dangerous job and he didn't want to put peoples lives at risk at all. But he had no choice due to their rising numbers. These groups could handle one, two hell, even three hollows with enough effort as long as nothing unforseen occurred.

However this was beyond that, they were heavily outnumbered and undermanned. If they ran they may save their lives but due to the Hollows being outside of the barrier they would overrun the western area until they found people. "This is ridiculous, where did they even come from…" Hearing the chattering of the others, Ino calmed herself first and looked around.

No one was taking charge of the situation and who could blame them. What could you possibly say in order to improve this situation? At this point fighting until the last seemed to be the only option. "All of you listen!" Ino hesitated before speaking but eventually spoke loud and clear. "Split into two groups and handle two of them at a time. I'll act as a decoy and attract as many of them as I can away so you can widdle down their numbers."

Hearing the plan from Ino caused everyone to freeze up. It wasnt a bad plan in the situation they were in and over all it was effective. The only issue would be that the person who was playing decoy would be in an insane amount of danger. The chances of them living would be low beyond belief.

Hearing Ino's plan, the Team Leader she had come here looked at her. "Miss, please you need to leave. If you die then-" He was cut off by Ino speaking to him. "Im faster than all of you and you all clearly work better as a team than alone. I don't want to or plan on dying…" Her words trailed off as she reached into the pouch on her waist. "I have too many things I need to do and people I have to repay."

With that Ino ran towards the Hollows and jumped into the air. Swinging her hand in an arc, multiple Kunai flew towards the feet of a majority of the Hollows. Attached to the Kunai's end were a mix of Flash Bombs and Explosive Tags. All of the Shinigami watched as explosions and flashes of light went off causing the Hollows to screech.

Landing back on the ground she watched as many of the Hollows turned their sights onto her and screeched. "That's right, follow me." Speaking under her breath she immediately began to run in a different direction with the Hollows following behind. In the end, out of all the Hollows that had appeared, around four of them were left with the group of Shinigami to deal with.

The Team Leader clenched his teeth as he yelled at the others. "You heard her! Let's hurry up and deal with these four so we can help!" Still looking in Ino's direction all of them yelled with more determined voices. "Right!" All of them split into groups and began handling the hollows individually.

Meanwhile, Ino was running full speed on the side of a wall as she heard something from behind her. Turning her head she jumped as the large fist crashed into the wall she was just running on. "They're fast despite their size." The Hollow's were fully engaged on Ino as they climbed over walls and ripped through buildings to get her.

Even moving at full speed she could only lose them temporarily before they locked onto her again and caught up. 'At this rate I'll be caught… I have no choice, I just gotta hope I can do it.' Turning around as she ran Ino counted ten Hollows following her. With that count, she quickly landed on the ground not too far from them.

"Mind Transfer Clone Jutsu!"

Ino used all of her Chakra and poured it into this one Jutsu. Five groups of Chakra mimicking her consciousness flew from her body and appeared in front of her. This Jutsu resembled that of the Mind Transfer except it could be used on multiple targets. It would be taxing both mentally and detrimental to her Chakra reserves.

However it was the only thing she could think of. As the Hollow's rushed to the now grounded Ino none of them saw her possession coming. As his split consciousness flew into five separate Hollow's bodies she immediately prepared herself. Last time just taking over one Hollow was a challenge due to its urges.

However to her surprise that urge never came. She felt minimum resistance and without hesitation she was able to completely conquer the Hollow's minds. She felt something was wrong but couldnt place her finger on it. 'Well no matter what I can't waste time thinking about it.' Chalking it up, Ino manipulated all five of the ten Hollow's under her control.

Her body was vulnerable right now so she had to do her best to protect it while fighting. As all the Hollow's rushed towards Ino's now seemingly sleeping body two of them were the closest. One reached forward to grab her seemingly ignorant to the fact the other next to it stopped moving.

"Ragh!" Without warning the Hollow next to it raised its arm before slamming its fist into the mask of the Hollow reaching for Ino's body. The force of the punch caused the air to tremble as the Hollow's mask cracked instantly and its body flew back before landing on the ground. Despite having low to zero intelligence the other Hollow's noticed this and prepared to attack.

However, similar scene's began to play out as the other four Hollows under Ino's control attacked the remaining four who tried to attack. Unlikely she didn't manage to finish them in one hit and the attacks only alerted the Hollows. 'Looks like I'm going to have to control manage multiple fights at the same time.'

As Ino's focus was drawn to that she didn't take notice of a bizarre occurrence happening out of her sight. As the destroyed Hollow began to turn into dark fog that fog did not rise into the air like normal. Instead it silently flowed toward's Ino's body seemingly disappearing on contact with her skin.

As the two different fights took place twenty minutes had passed. The Shinigami Ino acted as a Decoy and finally dealt with the four Hollows left to them. Thanks to them splitting off in groups injuries were minimized. As the last Hollow hit the ground and disappeared all of them cheered. "Alright! We did it!"

"Sir we should move that woman." One of the Shinigami reminded their Team Leader who immediately nodded. "Right, let's get moving." He rounded up his group and prepared to move in the direction Ino had run in. However, just as he took a step, he felt the ground shake. "What?" A rhythmic sound of the ground shaking became louder and more frequent as everyone stood still confused.

"What is that!" A yell directed everyone's attention to something white peeking up from the hole. Slowly the white structure rose up as the ground shook even harder. "It's…" A pair of red glowing eyes revealed themselves indented into a massive mask. It was a Hollow, but it was different than the others. Its entire body was draped in a strange black cloth hiding its massive limbs.

It towered over every single building around them, and every footstep caused tremors. The amount of Spiritual Pressure it was giving off dwarfed anything they had felt from Hollows before. And to their dismay, they saw even more Hollows were slowly making their way out of the hole as well. There seemed to be no end to this nightmare, and so despair fell on them.

This time they truly felt it was over. They were going to die. "Hya!" A yell echoed from above them as a figure darted through the sky. Wielding his Zanpakuto that was still in its Sheath, he raised it up before slamming it down at full force. An overwhelming amount of blunt force hit the massive Hollow directly on its head.

Shockwaves of air flew out from every direction as the giant Hollow took a step back and almost fell. "Lieutenant Seiki!" The moment one of them cried out, the rest seemed to feel an overwhelming amount of relief swept over them. Seiki quickly jumped from the Hollow's head and landed on the ground below as he heard a voice.

"I just recovered, and now something else is happening?" Appearing beside Seiki were both Zabuza and Haku landed on the ground. "Eh, you guys sensed this too?" Seiki looked surprised to see them as Haku replied. "Yes, plus the reports coming from this area were getting too numerous to ignore. It seems it's a good thing we came."

All three of them looked as the giant Hollow recovered itself and loomed over them along with all the other Hollows who had made an appearance. "There's so many of them… How the hell did they get here?" Obviously, they had climb through the hole in the ground, but that didn't explain their numbers whatsoever.

"Well, whatever, let's just deal with them." Zabuza took his Executioner's Blade off his back and pointed it towards the mob of Hollows. "Fine with me." Seiki did the same with his sword as Haku simply shook his head. The three of them rushed forward and began completely massacring the Hollows before them.

"Woah…" The Shinigami, who were just panicking, were in a state of disbelief. They saw one by one Hollow's being destroyed in an instant. "So that thing must be a Menos Grande based on its Spiritual Pressure." Rei had gone over the different categories of Hollows before with them, but they had never seen anything aside from a normal Hollow up till now.

As the Menos Grande stood there, its eyes moved between the three people slaughtering the Hollows around it. "Hragh!" Its massive head turned as it looked to its right towards the figure moving at an incredible speed. Haku was creating mirrors of ice behind multiple Hollow's blind spots before moving between them in an instant.

One swift attack was all he required, and multiple Hollows were killed. Hearing the Menos Grande's roar Seiki, Zabuza, and Haku all looked up. Haku, in particular, widened his eyes as he quickly jumped out of the way. A second later, a massive foot came cleaving down, crushing the ground he once stood on.

"That thing is annoying." Zabuza's eyes narrowed as he did a full one-eighty while sliding the ground. An untamed amount of Reiryoku flowed into his limbs as he leaped towards the Menos Grande's legs. "Bosekishi!" Zabuza's body became a blur as he began to spin in mid-air as he flew.

The wind wrapped around his body and mixed with his Reiatsu creating a spinning tornado isolated around him. On impact, Zabuza's executioner blade cut straight the blake cloak-like cloth draped over the Menos Grande's body and ripped through one of its legs. The leg was ripped off so fiercely that it was sent flying to the ground and crashed into the floor.

Breaking from his attack, Zabuza leaped out of the way as the entire Hollow's body began to wobble, losing its balance. "And down it goes." Zabuza watched as the Menos began to fall, however unexpectedly, it did something else as well. A dense amount of Reiryoku began to gather in front of its mouth, turning crimson and color.

Zabuza was given barely any time to react as the crimson energy disappeared. The Menos then opened its mouth, and a blinding red light fired at him. The Beam started small but immediately grew in size as it enveloped his vision in its entirety. "Zabuza!" Haku yelled, but someone was already a step ahead of him.

Flickering in front of Zabuza, Shisui appeared as a green aura enveloped his body. "Susanoo!" In an instant, an upper torso skeleton appeared around Shisui's body as it was quickly wrapped in dense green armor. A transparent green drill appeared in Susanoo's hand, and the next second, it was thrown as a full force.

The drill quaked as it pierced towards the incoming beam of Spiritual Energy and subsequently ripped through it. The Menos Grande found its mask and head completely pierced through as the drill flew through the air destroying its attack. Its entire body began to fall as it disintegrated, and the Susanoo around Shisui disappeared.

"I could have dealt with that, you know." Hearing Zabuza, Shisui looked back at him with a smile. "I'm sure you could have if you were fully healed, but you're still injured." Zabuza ignored Shisui as he glanced behind him. "So what took you two so long? Was Kisame giving you trouble?" Rei was standing not too far away behind them as he tilted his head.

"You'd be surprised if I told you."
