Rain of the End
As Inaba's spiritual pressure output increased, the temperature in Soul Society began to rise again.
This time it was even more unbearable than before. If the previous one could only be described as dry steaming, then the increased temperature after the Rain Flame spread throughout the Soul Society was like a veritable oven.
Everyone could feel themselves enveloped in a the Heat, humid atmosphere, feeling sticky all over and even having difficulty breathing.
They might not even be dried out by the high temperature before they suffocate to death. Some of the weaker souls have already clutched their throats and fainted on the ground.
Seemingly sensing Inaba's renewed provocation, the blue flame surrounding Tsuna released another wave of energy, this time not invisible, but a visible blue.
In the blink of an eye, the blue light had spread throughout the entire Soul Society. Everyone clearly felt that their breathing had become much easier, their body temperature was dropping rapidly, and apart from the slightly humid air, they felt no discomfort.
Inaba narrowed his eyes, preparing to unleash the power of flames once more to fight Tsuna, but before he could make a move, continuous blue waves rippled outwards.
Did Sawada Tsunayoshi foresee Inaba's prediction? No, this was merely the inevitable path for Rain-attribute to Beyond Bankai.
Before they could even properly enjoy a good breath, the beings of Soul Society felt their breathing become suffocated again, as if a wet towel had been placed over their faces.
However, this feeling was growing rapidly, and soon people felt their bodies were enveloped in dense water. They felt as if they had fallen into the sea, and breathing, body temperature, and movement all seemed to have stopped for a moment.
In that instant, the Soul Society was engulfed by the spreading Rain Flame, and a large amount of rainwater gathered into a vast ocean, completely covering the Soul Society.
Fortunately, this superposition of life and death only lasted for a moment, and the water in Soul Society spiraled and condensed in one direction in the next instant.
Tsuna was at the center of this enormous vortex that encompassed the entire Soul Society. He released the Rain Flame, and then condensed and collected them back into the battle attire most suitable for him.
Wearing dark blue flying fish combat boots, a sky-blue lining with light gold accents, and a white stand-up collar trench coat with a whale leaping in the blue waves pattern swirling from the hem to the shoulders.
Three Fish Dragon daggers were stored at Tsuna's left waist, and two longswords were crossed on his back, with the hilts bearing the images of Jiro and Kojirō respectively. (Refer to Kirito.)
From the One-Sword Style of Shikai to the Two-Sword Style of Bankai, after fusing the Irregular Four Blades of Fullbring and the power of the Hollow's Fish Dragon, the Rain attribute's power Beyond Bankai officially reached the Five-Sword Style.
"Finally, Sedation descends, the rain..."
As Tsuna's words fell, the last trace of Rain Flame returned to his body, and the Beyond Bankai of the rain attribute was officially completed.
Ichigo and the others exchanged glances, somewhat embarrassed to ask, because they couldn't sense even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual pressure from Tsuna. It was as Sedation and still as the rain attribute, completely imperceptible.
Based on experience, an enemy whose spiritual pressure cannot be sensed can only be weak. But that's Tsuna, a new form he painstakingly transformed into. Ichigo and the others simply can't Ichigo to use the word "weak."
Ichigo and the others were embarrassed, but Inaba showed no mercy. He burst into laughter, "This dares to call it Beyond Bankai? Don't make me laugh!"
Inaba's voice suddenly rose, and he swung his Zanka no Tachi at Tsuna. Although it was called Zanka no Tachi, the attack style was more like Great Fire Sword; he used the flames released by his Zanpakuto to attack Tsuna.
With a whoosh, Tsuna was immediately engulfed in flames. Inaba didn't even glance at Tsuna, turning her head to look at Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto and the others.
Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto is still the most threatening one to him; he must be eliminated, Ryūjin Jakka cannot be allowed to return to his hands.
Having made up his mind, Inaba immediately prepared to use Shunpo to Flash Step towards Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto. Just as he bent down, a sharp sword light slashed past the top of his head.
Inaba's hand, gripping the sword, froze in shock. Had he not bent over slightly, the attack would have struck him squarely in the face. Who? Who on this field, besides Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, possessed the power to threaten him?
"Tch, missed? What a pity~" The voice came from the flames just now; it was Sawada Tsunayoshi's voice.
Inaba turned his head, he saw the flames gradually subside. In Tsuna's place, a small fish was swimming rapidly around him, and the flames it stirred up formed a blue protective shield in Tsuna's position.
Another blue creature circled behind Inaba before returning to Tsuna's side. It looked exactly like the little fish; it was a Fish Dragon with its mouth wide open, biting a short blade, and overall resembled a dagger.
Two of the daggers at Tsuna's waist were empty; one was for defense, and the other for attacking Inaba. These Fish Dragon daggers possessed their own consciousness and could act according to Tsuna's will without him needing to Tsuna them.
It can be said that Tsuna didn't even move when faced with Inaba's slash, letting the Fish Dragon dagger at his waist be drawn and used to counterattack.
Inaba's face was very ugly. He, who possessed the super-powerful Zanka no Tachi, had actually defeated this weakling in a single move. This was undoubtedly a slap in his face.
Inaba immediately changed direction and Flash Step Tsuna to rush towards Tsunayoshi, intending to crush this little bug that had embarrassed him.
Suddenly, Inaba felt a sharp pain in his chest, followed by his pupils contracting, and he looked as if he had seen a ghost.
He didn't even have time to care about the blood splattered on his body. Inaba used Flash Step to retreat one after another until he reached a relatively safe distance. He still couldn't believe what he had encountered.
Inaba was about to attack Tsuna, Tsuna suddenly appeared in front of him without any spiritual pressure fluctuations, and he didn't even have time to react.
In that brief moment, Tsuna rushed into Inaba's arms, his fingers flipping over the last Fish Dragon dagger, and ripped Inaba open.
It wasn't until the pain reached his very soul that Inaba realized he was injured, and then began a series of fleeing steps.
He didn't know why Sawada Tsunayoshi had suddenly appeared without making a sound; it felt like he'd encountered a ghost.
Everything in Soul Society moves with spiritual pressure or Reishi particles, but Tsuna has none of these, so Inaba was completely unaware of Tsuna movements.
This is the effect of the Rain attribute's Sedation properties. In the form of extremely high concentrations of Rain Flame, Tsuna himself can maintain an absolutely Sedation state, which is why others cannot sense any fluctuations in spiritual pressure from him.
"You keep saying you'll destroy Soul Society, so what are you afraid of?"
Inaba looked up and met Tsuna's mocking expression. His hand holding the Zanka no Tachi trembled slightly. Although he didn't want to admit it, for a moment, he was indeed afraid—a fear of the unknown.
Forcibly suppressing his discomfort, Inaba a stiff upper lip, "I don't know what you're talking about. If you dare to step forward, I'll take care of you first!"
Flames gathered slightly on the Zanpakuto, and the Zanka no Tachi emitted a dazzling light. Inaba completely ignored her injuries and charged towards Tsuna, delivering a powerful slash.
With a clang, it was the same Fish Dragon Dagger again. Tsuna held it between two fingers, easily deflecting Inaba's attack.
Doubt arose in Inaba's mind once again. Why was the situation always different from what he imagined? What about the explosion? What about the impact? Was all the fiery power gathered within his Zanka no Tachi just an illusion?
Inaba, Tsuna frantically Zanpakuto at Tsunayoshi. Faced with this chaotic and disorganized attack pattern, Tsuna didn't even need to think to deflect all the slashes.
Where is the Eastern Kyokujitsu Katana? Where is the Eastern Kyokujitsu Katana? Where is the Eastern Kyokujitsu Katana?
Inaba's heart is now filled with anger and doubt. He dared to come up and clash with Tsuna at close range because he wanted to use the terrifying power contained in the Kyokujitsu Katana to smash Tsuna into pieces.
However, the power he had imagined was not released from the Zanka no Tachi, and coupled with his haphazard Zanjutsu, it had less of an effect on Tsuna than the flames wrapped around the crimson fire stick in his hand.
Logically speaking, Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's clone should also be someone who has mastered the art of Zanjutsu, Hakuda, Hohō, Kidō to the extreme. However, those exquisite Zanjutsu, when they fall into the hands of Inaba, who doesn't have much combat experience, are like pearls hidden in dust.
It's not even as good as when he uses Flash Step. Although it's just a rudimentary way of using advanced footwork to move straight back and forth, it's still much better than not being able to use any Zanjutsu at all now.
Whether it was due to incompatibility between the Modified Soul and the body, or excessive spiritual pressure damaging Inaba's Modified Soul, Inaba seemed to have lost his mind.
If Inaba could calm down and take a look at his Zanka no Tachi, he would be able to detect an unusual spiritual pressure emanating from the surface of the blade.
That was the spiritual pressure of Rain Flame. The Rain Flame, with their powerful Sedation effect, formed a protective sheath on the surface of the Zanka no Tachi, forcibly suppressing the Zanka no Tachi's energy bursting forth.
Based on this, the battle between Tsuna and Inaba became much easier. Inaba wouldn't utilize Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto's Zanjutsu abilities; it was purely a contest of her own Zanjutsu. Inaba a researcher, was no match for Tsuna.
With just a small dagger, Tsuna was able to easily control Inaba. Not only that, but two Fish Dragon daggers were also floating beside his shoulder, ready to launch a fatal attack on Inaba at any moment.
After his impotent rage subsided, Inaba's mind gradually calmed down, and he finally noticed the gleaming sharpness on the other two Fish Dragon daggers.
Just as he glanced at them, a cold glint flashed, and one of the Fish Dragon daggers pierced through Inaba's chest.
A look of astonishment flashed across Inaba's face. Sawada Tsunayoshi's move was truly ruthless; the chest was precisely where the usual Soul Saketsu and Hakusui were located.
It's fair to say that if it were any other normal Bleach, Tsuna's strike would have been enough to kill them instantly.
Fortunately, Inaba's body is not a traditional soul; it is essentially just a Reigai. The mere fatal wound will not render him powerless, only causing him some pain.
Inaba this; nothing could be worse than his body collapsing. But before his body gave out, he was going to make this guy who looked down on him pay the price!
How could Inaba not see that Tsuna had never seriously dealt with him from beginning to end, but had only been toying with him with those small daggers?
Inaba's eyes blazed with fury, which transformed into flames that spread throughout his body. The intense heat, like the blazing sun, enveloped his body and blade, and the Zanpakuto, which had been bound by Rain Flame, reignited its flames.
Inaba's body was dressed in clothes formed from condensed flames.
