The instant Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto finished speaking, all the flames within the barrier seemed to find their master. A vortex of fire appeared in the sea of flames, with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto at its center. All the flames spiraled towards Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's location.

The entire barrier suddenly fell silent; apart from the charred Sōkyoku, there was no trace of the flames that had ever existed.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's spiritual pressure trembled slightly, dispersing all the smoke like a gust of wind, and his figure gradually became visible.

Covered in puncture wounds, clearly caused by Roll, these pinhole-sized wounds had all turned charred black. Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto forcibly stopped the bleeding with high heat.

Apart from that, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was only wearing a tattered Shinigami Uniform, without any extra decorations. The only somewhat incongruous thing was that he was holding a Zanpakuto that looked rusty, but with Zanpakuto of light hidden within the rust.

The Zanpakuto looked very broken, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch, making one doubt its ability to fight properly. Wisps of white smoke drifted from the Zanpakuto, making it seem like a failed attempt to be reforged.

Aside from this somewhat strange Zanpakuto, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto showed no fluctuations in spiritual pressure. Compared to the Bankai of the Great Fire Sword, which unleashed flames at will, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's current appearance made one wonder if he had lost the power of fire.

"What kind of power is this, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto- sensei?" Ukitake sat at the front, staring dumbfounded at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's appearance. He couldn't sense even the slightest spiritual pressure threat from Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto.

"Bankai within Bankai? As expected of Captain-Commander Yamamoto," Urahara exclaimed.

"This..." Byakuya Kuchiki wanted to speak. Could this seemingly frail little thing really be called Bankai? The person who could use it was Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, which made him somewhat doubt his own judgment.

"He concentrated all the flames into his Zanpakuto. In this mode, even a simple swing of the sword is comparable to a full-force attack from before."

The one who spoke up was Unohana Retsu. Although this was the first time she had seen the Zanka no Tachi, Unohana Retsu's insight allowed her to immediately grasp the principle Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's pattern.

"As expected of the Captain-Commander! I admire you!" It was Komamura who spoke. He was already pondering whether his Black Rope Heavenly Punisher could also be concentrated into his Zanpakuto; wouldn't that look incredibly cool?

"No wonder he always seems so confident. He truly lives up to his teacher's reputation." Kyōraku exclaimed. He now understood why Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto always acted like he was in charge. With that kind of power, he alone could overturn the entire Seireitei.

Toshiro wasn't too surprised or amazed; he believed that he would eventually obtain such power himself.

When Toshiro first practiced Bankai, he entered a state that lasted only a moment. He felt invincible and could freeze the heavens and earth.

But a moment later, Toshiro was forced to retreat. At that moment, he knew that his physical condition was not good enough to withstand the full power of Hyōrinmaru. That's why the Daiguren Hyōrinmaru appeared under many restrictions.

If Toshiro could maintain that state from that moment, he was confident he could exchange a couple of blows with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto now. As for what would happen after those two blows, he didn't know, but given Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's skill level, he'd probably just burn away the ice with fire, right?

Toshiro glanced at Kenpachi Zaraki beside him with some oddity. Strangely, after the appearance of the Zanka no Tachi, Kenpachi Zaraki had become calmer.

Toshiro didn't know was that the moment Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's fire poker appeared, Kenpachi Zaraki had already calmed down. His beast-like intuition told him that facing Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto would mean death, death in an instant.

Kenpachi Zaraki seeks the thrill of battle. If he could exchange a fatal blow with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, he would strike without hesitation. But if he doesn't even have the chance to draw his sword, then it's meaningless.

Kenpachi Zaraki is currently preoccupied with how to improve his strength so he can cut down Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto Ittsuka; he has no time for causing trouble.

"Tsuna alright?" Rose, looking worriedly in the direction Tsuna had flown off to.

"Don't worry, that kid hasn't gone too far yet," Hirako retorted. Ever since they met Tsuna, they'd never really known Tsuna limits.

"Don't forget he also has the Sun Attribute. Ha, when we first met, I thought I had killed him." Kensei still vividly remembered his first meeting with Tsuna.

"Don't worry, he's a smart kid. Even if he loses, he won't die," Isshin chimed in, having known Tsuna better than Tsuna and the Hirako. He knew that Tsuna wouldn't go to war with Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto unless he was absolutely certain of victory.

Looking at Sawada Tsunayoshi, he was pressed against the barrier wall. The barrier behind him had been cracked by his impact. It was only after recovering from the sudden shock that Tsuna climbed down from the wall.

Looking at the Floating Cloud Tonfas in his hand, only the handle remained in his palm; the main body of the cane had been completely reduced to dust in the collision.

Despite the seemingly light collision, the Great Fire Sword had transformed into the Zanka no Tachi in that instant, containing a spiritual pressure that far exceeded what ordinary Bleach could handle. The immense force generated by the collision reminded Tsuna of one of the Zanka no Tachi's techniques.

Eastern Kyokujitsu Katana.

The so-called Kyokujitsu Katana, simply put, is a weapon that hides its ultimate move within its basic attacks. Because Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto concentrates all the flames within the blade, every swing of Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's sword is the full force of the Great Fire Sword.

However, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai had not been fully converted at that time; otherwise, Tsuna wouldn't have simply shattered one of his Floating Cloud Tonfas; he would have paid the price of at least half his body.

Tsuna walked back to the center of the Sōkyoku step by step. After Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai, he did not press his advantage but waited in place for Tsuna to come over.

"Sawada Tsunayoshi, that's enough. I acknowledge your strength," Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto said calmly, looking every bit like a peerless master.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto is now qualified to project this kind of aura; in the Seireitei, probably only Unohana Retsu can withstand a single blow from him.

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto deliberately used the incomplete Zanka no Tachi against Tsuna's strike, because he wasn't sure if Tsuna could withstand the full power of the Kyokujitsu Katana. He didn't want to kill such a promising talent with a single blow.

"No, I haven't seen any other moves yet." Tsuna casually tossed away the remnants of the Floating Cloud Tonfas...

"Boy, I didn't use my full strength. The Zanka no Tachi Katana - East - Kyokujitsu Katana I just used was incomplete!"

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's implication was that Tsuna shouldn't be stubborn; the battle would have been over long ago if he had used the complete Kyokujitsu Katana.

"East... so that means there's also West, South, and North, right?" Tsuna said, deactivating his Bankai and Resurrección. "We've come this far, how can I be satisfied without showing them off?"

"Kid, you're getting a bit too cocky!"

Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's tone turned stern. For the first time, he felt a slight dislike for Tsuna. He had already figured out Tsuna's current fighting strength and knew he was no match for Zanka no Tachi. Continuing to entangle with him would be short-sighted and show a lack of understanding of his own abilities.

"Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, you've compressed your Bankai to its limit, creating a new Bankai." Tsuna ignored Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and continued, "Have you ever sought the power beyond Bankai?"

"The power beyond Bankai..." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto murmured, opening his eyes and staring intently at Tsuna. "Could it be that you...!"

"We have to give it a try, the power to Beyond Bankai!"

Tsuna held the White Blade and black blades crossed in front of his chest, and the center point of the crossing corresponded exactly to the Fullbring Tsuna he wore around his neck.

White light, green light, and black light flashed simultaneously, and the two blades, along with the ring, transformed into three-colored spiritual pressure that intertwined around Tsuna. Tsuna shouted, "Beyond Bankai!"

The three types of spiritual pressure merged at this moment, transforming into an extreme purple flame that completely enveloped Tsuna's body. At the same time, a spiritual pressure no less powerful than Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Bankai erupted from Tsuna's body.

Bleach, Hollow, and Fullbring —these are all the abilities Tsuna currently possesses. The power generated by the combination of these three is Tsuna's strongest power at present.

With a rumble, the entire barrier space began to tremble as Tsuna's spiritual pressure appeared. Urahara's expression changed immediately, and he hurriedly directed the Kidō Corps to pour their spiritual pressure into the barrier to stabilize it.

Not only did Urahara's face change, but Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's expression also became solemn. As an old man who had lived for over a thousand years, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto had some knowledge of the secrets of the Soul Society, including the Royal Guard above him.

The Royal Guard are incredibly powerful, but they cannot easily unleash their true strength, as doing so would pose a threat to the stability of the world.

The principle is similar to Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's own; he restrains his power to protect the normal existence of Soul Society. Once he fights without regard for anything else, he himself is a world-shaking figure.

And what about Sawada Tsunayoshi now? His so-called Beyond Bankai is already shaking the Kido Barrier formed by the Kido masters of the entire Soul Society and the World of the Living world. In other words, this so-called Beyond Bankai, regardless of its strength, also has the power to shake the world!

The flames gradually disappeared, the barrier gradually stabilized, and Tsuna's figure gradually became visible.

Wearing a white undershirt, a black short jacket, and black and white handcuffs on either side of her waist, she wore Spike Dragon trousers and velociraptor boots. Her long, light purple spiky hair covered her lower back, and the words "Discipline" on her back were faintly visible as her hair flowed.

What catches the eye most are Tsuna's weapons: a pair of purple-toned Floating Cloud Tonfas with two long dragons winding around the main body of the sticks, and a cute hedgehog pattern at the end of each stick.

It was none other than the Spitting Pearls of the Spirit Serpent that Tsuna had used, or perhaps it should be called the Flying Dragon Spitting Pearls, because the dragon on the weapon no longer resembled Spike Dragon, but rather looked somewhat like an Eastern dragon.

Cloud Dragon Offering Pearls Floating Cloud Tonfas.

Like Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, Tsuna combined the spiritual pressure of the three powers erupting together to form his current form, which is his Beyond Bankai formed by fusing the three powers.

The Star Chain Proliferation of Cloud!

(PS: When fighting Wolverine, some people said the protagonist lost some of his cool factor, but have you ever considered that that was never the protagonist's strongest power?)

To me, isn't it a bit too boring to simply apply the power of one world to another and then crush everything?

Therefore, I accelerated the protagonist's progress from the very beginning, and he used the Sun Attribute Bankai when Kensei in chapter 20-something.

Later, I will create a power that belongs to the protagonist within the Bleach universe. The inspiration for this form comes from Bleach: Game of Thrones, specifically Ichigo's Locking Heaven's Sun form. I will add an image to that.

As for the protagonist in this form, the pictures are really not enough. Please refer to Trunks for the image. The hair is Saiyan 3 hair. That's all.
