A Shinobi Awakens - Chapter 74 The Truth Of The Hollows

When Ichizo opened his Eyes after the Final stage of his integration process he noticed the Changes in his body both inside and out. First the control over his spirit Energy and Reiatsu was far superior than before while his absorption and convergence of reishi into spirit energy increased to an unimaginable level.

The Large piece of his hollow mask was now even smaller, while his hollow hole decreased from 3 inches in diameter to 2. On the Right side of his head the hair turned Golden while the left side turned White, his left eye was now blue while the right was gold. Once he acquires his soul reaper powers the left eye will also turn gold and when all 3 energies finally fuse will he ascend.

‘Very good, Now let’s move on to the next step.’

Ichizo Sat down cross legged and placed his Zanpakuto on his lap with the Hilt on one thigh with the blade on the other. What he was going to attempt was Jinzen, a training method that allowed the wielder to communicate with the Zanpakuto spirit. The reason why attempt is due to the uncertainty of it he actually had the ability to communicate with it. While Arrancars have Zanpakutos it’s really just the separation of their powers so the Ability to communicate with his sword spirit is unknown.

The first day nothing, the first week only silence, the First year, the First decade, he sat in that position for as long as it took. Until one day he finally heard a voice.

“Persistent asshole aren’t you?”

He opened his eyes to see a Land of Golden clouds with a large full moon in the background, in the Center of that place a A Dragon with Golden Scales lounged in the Clouds. The Dragon had Three sets of Large White wings, With Large white Claws, teeth, and Horns that protruded from the Left and right sides of it’s head then curled slightly backwards. There was a Large Hollow hole in the Middle of it’s chest and the Power it radiated made Ichizo feel small.

“If I didn’t say anything you probably would have sat there for another Decade am I right?”

“Yes, Im Guessing you’re Hokori.”

“Indeed that is I, it’s a shame that other Hollows don’t realize their potential as you have. Bunch of mindless fools. I have sat here for many Millennia waiting for the day I could once again show myself to the world and finally it seems that time has come. Child to think that you are the Ancestor foretold in the legends is truly amazing, looking into your memories it also seems that you are the God of another Plane. Please forgive this old man’s stubbornness as I did not believe that such a young being would truly be so incredible.”

“You can look into my Memories?”

“Yes, as of now I am your Zanpakuto there for my life and death resides in you. In order to learn about my new master I have the ability to learn from certain memories until we can properly get acquainted. Once a Hollow achevies Vasto lorde they are given a Glimpse of the Arrancar level which lies beyond. Around 1600 Years ago there were many Arrancar within Hueco Mundo however the Soul Reapers came to here and drove them to extinction while also eliminating the Vasto Lorde with the potential to evolve.”

“What?”

“Have you never thought it strange? How did Aizen come up with the designation “Arrancar”? How was someone who is not a God recreate the structure of the Hollow? These are questions that you probably thought maybe once or twice but you probably wrote it off as shear circumstance. In the Past the Menos Grande had four ranks instead of three with Arrancar at the pinnacle. We also Arrancar are also fundamentally different compared to the other ranks as they are more similar to Soul Reapers rather than Hollows. Before the Battle with that damnable Quincy, that same Quincy came here learned about the power we possess and attempted to bargain with us to take down the Soul King.”

Ichizo just listened Silently as his understanding of Hollows was destroyed.

“The Soul Reapers got wind of it and the “Head Captain” or whatever that bastard calls himself now eliminated them all with his Band of Killers. All Aizen is doing is taping in on the dormant power that lies in the Menos Grande class hollows.”

The More he listened the more shocked he became.
