Weather man

"Drift into the wind, Fujin."

Hikifune turned her head towards me and smiled with a clear interest on her face. "I haven't seen you release that sword in years. It's as violent as ever."

"Will you join me or will you take a back seat again?"

"My pride as a scientist is telling me to use you as a lab rat but my soul is telling me to help you so I'll go for the latter."

I knew her Zanpakuto worked better when she was close and amongst the enemies due to its effect.

Hikifune and I jumped down on the sand where we stood on a hill of sorts. A sand dune, that's what it was. They were below us.

We were at sort of an advantage because we had the high ground as were but that probably wouldn't matter as I was going to go down there and start the battle myself but first I was interested to see what they'd do first.

We stood and looked at each other for a few seconds and then I realised they wanted us to attack first. They probably knew they couldn't charge up because we'd just pick them off as soon as they began to run.

"Personal Kido: Flowing Birds."

When I used it against Yoruichi and the kids that was a smaller effect. The true use of this ability was to confuse and distract. To create a gap in the enemy lines.

Hundreds of small bluebirds made of reiryoku erupted out of my index finger and flew towards the 'army' of hollows in front of us.

The birds went in the middle of the army and began pecking at the Hollows which of course did nothing and only caused them to get annoyed.

I used a shunpo to get in the middle of the enemy lines which had begun to move to different positions due to the birds which had served their purpose. I should have learnt how to detonate them from afar, though that would take more reiryoku to do and would take away the main point of the technique.

I took my 'bladeless' zanpakuto and swung it over my head in a 360-degree motion. I thinned the air on my zanpakuto and fired it in every direction. The thin air was capable of cutting anything in its path including flesh.

The hollows within a certain radius were all cleaved in half by an attack they couldn't even see. Their lives went with the wind.

A hollow which bared resemblance to a hippo crawled from underneath the ground and tried to bite my leg. But as its mouth got closer to my foot it slowed down.

My zanpakuto is something that is confused by most people in the Gotei 13 as a simple wind type Zanpakuto. But that was wrong. My zanpakuto was able to control the wind as a by-product of sorts. My zanpakutos ability was centred around controlling the atmosphere around me.

By compressing the air around me I created a sensation where the opponent slowed down due to how dense the air was.

I took this time to cut the hollow in half with my wind blade.

"Bala!"

My body bent backwards to avoid a blow which came from behind. In the small moment, my back was bent I saw that the two females with no masks had attacked me from behind. They were using some sort of technique where which fired off a reiatsu beam it was different from the hollows cero.

It was weaker but seemed to be able to be used much quicker than a regular cero. It was interesting to see that they'd made up techniques which effectively took out the weaknesses of another.

"You two must be the other wives, Which one of you is the favourite?"

"So you've heard of us? Lucia must have told you. It matters not for your fate has been sealed." The one with butterfly wings said

"Fate doesn't exist, It's the choices you make which matter."

"What you think doesn't matter. You're going to die with no dignity." The hollow with the bull horns said. She two giant axes on her back which looked like they'd be impractical in battle but they probably served in her release.

"Is that so? Then please entertain me."

"Fly, Mariposa Dormida." The wings on her back grew massively and the colour changed from a plain white to a different array of colours like a rainbow. She grew two antlers on her forehead which twitched now and then. The biggest difference was that she was flying in the air.

"Impale, Minotauro." Her entire body grew to extreme heights. She was almost three times my height and she had muscles comparable to tree trunks. Her face completely changed into one of a bull and her eyes gleamed gold with passion.

Once I'd taken in their transformations I began my attack. I could've attacked earlier but curiosity got the better of me and made me watch their releases.

I credited my zanpakuto to being one of the most versatile in the soul society. I was a weatherman essentially except I made my own weather.

If I could get the atmospheric conditions right I could do anything with the weather. Rain. Check. Lightning. Check. Snow. Check.

Anything. And I loved it. My zanpakuto wasn't always like this, in fact, if put in the hands of someone else it's full potential couldn't be reached. It's not that it was hard to master or that it was draining no.

You had to be creative with it.

And I had creativity filled within me

"Where do you think you're going?"

"My wives are in danger, as a man, it's my duty to help them," Negar said while continuing walking forward.

"Such sweet words. If only Yasushi was as considerate as you. But I don't think I can allow a hollow such as yourself to walk free around here. Shinigami duty y'know?"

Negar used a sonido to quickly turn around and aimed a slash at Hikifunes lips.

"Do not speak of duty as if you know what you're talking about."

Hikifune blocked the attack with her own sword and noticed something about Negars sword.

His sword had cracks and was jagged with small pieces of it being broken and scratched. It was a testament to his countless battles and incredible age.

'He's stumbled to a great spot.'

"Infuse, Ryōri-chō." Hikifunes reiatsu spread out on the floor and began to replace the sand as the dominant surrounding. It was coloured pink so it was easy to see from afar.

"Why don't we play a game, Lord Negar."

Ideas for Hikifunes Shikai? I already know what it's going to be but I'm interested in your ideas.

Anyways it is now my head canon that Yasushi is the weatherman for the soul society.

Thoughts on the full capabilities of his zanpakuto? I'll show what he can do against negar and the wives.

By the way just a reminder: This arc will not finish once negar is defeated or anything. They will still continue to explore unless they are incredibly injured which I'll just send them back to the soul society
