Shinigami 003
"I hope me giving out the flowers didn't change anything. Not being able to see that dead girl is kinda scary, so making one final check won't hurt. It would suck not being able to participate in the battles." As he said that, an explosion was heard in the city thus prompting to make Minaki run even faster.
=======================================
"W-What is that?" said Ichigo as he saw a large masked monster standing.
"I don't know man, I can't see through the smoke." The pink-haired boy was squatting while doing The Thinker pose at the same time.
"Minaki?! What the hell are you-" Ichigo noticed the dead girl running towards him and as he was about to shout for them to flee...Minaki beat him right to it.
"IT'S A GIANT MASKED MANTIS, RUN!" Minaki stood up and started running together with the two, the man was running like he was about to win a gold medal in the Olympics. And that's when the dead girl tripped on god knows what and proceeded to fall on the ground.
"Oi, Hurry!" Ichigo was helping the girl up and noticed the monster has caught up, preparing to attack. Suddenly, a black butterfly flew in front of Ichigo's face and a girl in a black kimono appeared. Obviously, Minaki knew who this was but he has to stay normal.
The girl slashed horizontally on the monster's mouth before landing on the ground to leap towards the monster again to deliver a vertical slash, ending the monster's life and making it disintegrate. She lands near them while sheathing her sword.
"H-Hey..." A stunned Ichigo said, trying to get the girl's attention, only for her to look at him before walking away.
The wide-eyed Minaki was staring at nothing before finally speaking "I'll be going home, goodbye Ichigo."
"Wait, how can you-" Ichigo was about to ask Minaki something, but he's already gone. 'He can see spirits too?' Ichigo noticed that the dead girl was gone and now he's just watching the scene in shock questioning what the fuck just happened?
=======================================
It was very strange for Minaki, he could now see Hollows and Pluses clearly. But what caused him to get such power is questionable. Not to mention that he was fluent in Japanese somehow and had no problems with communication in this world.
"I think I'll sleep through the night, no need to change anything in the canon. Well, good night world!" Minaki closed his eyes and went to sleep.
=======================================
Minaki was in the void again, the same darkness he was trapped in before.
"Thou want to become puissant? Very well, I shall grant you such prithee, if thou finishes this obstacle course." A voice spoke out of nowhere.
"W-Wait, I didn't ask for that!" The ground started to shake as not too far away, a literal ninja warrior obstacle course came out of the ground but it was entirely painted white. Possibly to fit the theme of the world.
"Compeer! I remind thou, beat the obstacle course and thou may choose thy own power!" Said the voice before the presence of it faded away.
...
Minaki was now facing the Running Steps obstacle, the most common one that appeared in Ninja Warrior. The obstacle was four-angled panels apart from each other, the one completing this obstacle should keep moving or this sense keeping a good pace of leaping. And so Minaki did that and managed to complete that obstacle. Then he had to maintain balance on the Balance Bridge, which had two cylindrical beams and he had to cross the gap between them while maintaining balance, which he did and completed this obstacle.
The obstacle course threw a lot of challenges at him, which progressively started getting harder. And now he was facing the final obstacle...A 55 feet tall climbing wall.
"Whoever made this...is insane." Minaki started stretching before deciding to climb this unfair-looking climbing wall. This was taking hours to complete, he had moments where his hands would slip but he would recover nonetheless. And after a lot of struggles, he finally made it to the top exhausted from all the challenges thrown at him. He was on top of the climbing wall which had a platform and a big arena in front.
"Don't tell me I have to fight something now, I'm literally gonna die if that happ-" Speak of the devil, there was a completely white version of him standing right in the middle. "Haah, here we go again." Minaki started walking towards the thing, cracking his knuckles before opening with a sweeping kick under the thing's legs. The thing dodged the attack and both of them started exchanging punches, one would block, and the other would attack. One would attack, the other would dodge. The fight ended when Minaki delivered a swift roundhouse towards the thing and it disintegrated into dust.
"I am glad you did not face expiry, Compeer! Due to your excellent performance, I shall grant you a guerdon!" The presence was back again, but Minaki wasn't too happy. In fact, he looked pissed.
"Why was the obstacle course literal torture? Do gods seriously like these kinds of games?" Said Minaki while having one eyebrow lifted.
"Oh, Compeer. I was mazed by your determination, however, you should know the reason for such difficulty. Power can't be obtained by doing nothing! Therefore, for such hard work of thy, I bestow you this." Four boxes phased out of the ground and presented themselves to Minaki.
"Pick one, I think thou should be able to tell by the power they hold. You will stay as a human, however, you will have the blood or well, the influence of the power you choose. Two of them might only be activated by releasing your soul from your body, but I think you already know that. So make your decision now, Furude Minaki."
=======================================
This is where you pick a race for Minaki, so feel free to vote.
1. Shinigami
2. Arrancar(His evolution as a Hollow would be kinda dumb, so yeah let's just skip the evolution line and go straight into an Arrancar, no menos needed here. Or if we want to we could make him a Vasto Lorde just for the funny. I don't know, you guys decide if you want to vote for this one. I'll take suggestions.)
3. Fullbringer
4. Quincy
