Rain Bankai

Kenpachi Zaraki and Toshiro Hitsugaya unleashed their spiritual pressure together, shattering all the ice spikes of the Ice Rain into dust. Immediately afterward, Kenpachi unleashed a sword pressure, and Toshiro unleashed an ice flower that shattered the waterfall-like rain curtain.

The rain curtain broke, revealing Kenpachi Zaraki enveloped in a substantial yellow spiritual pressure and Toshiro Bankai.

After Toshiro's Bankai, the characteristics of the ice dragon also appeared on his body: ice dragon wings, tail, Dragon Claws, and a dragon head wrapped around Toshiro's right hand holding the sword, biting Hyōrinmaru. Behind Toshiro were three diamond-shaped ice flowers.

"Kenpachi Zaraki, let's take him down together," Tsuna said, pointing the tip of his sword at Toshiro.

Kenpachi Zaraki paid no heed to Toshiro's suggestion. He would never let go of his prey once he had it in his grasp. He charged towards Tsuna, who had revealed his true form, using both feet to propel himself forward.

Toshiro sighed silently. Kenpachi Zaraki, who had entered a state of battle frenzy, wouldn't listen to his nonsense. It was already a favor that Kenpachi didn't swing his sword at him, who was interfering with the battle.

Toshiro had no choice but to provide support for Kenpachi Zaraki from behind.

Even before Kenpachi arrived, the pressure generated by his spiritual pressure alone far exceeded that of Toshiro after his Bankai. Without hesitation, Tsuna threw out the three short swords in his left hand, and then added a dense cloud of Rain Flame to them.

Special Edition, Nine-Headed Dragon - Collapsed River!

In Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Yamamoto Takeshi often used the three short swords of the Irregular Four Blades as propulsion for flight. However, in the world of Bleach, Tsuna, who can stand in mid-air on Reishi, no longer needs to do this, and the three short swords return to their combat attributes.

In this state of being combined with Fullbring, Tsuna's Nine-Headed Dragon: Slaughtering River had been incorporated into the Shigure Soen Ryu. The three short swords wrapped in Rain Flame truly transformed into a solidified Nine-Headed Dragon, which swallowed Kenpachi Zaraki in the blink of an eye.

Aside from the dragon head that swallowed Kenpachi Zaraki, the other eight Toshiro together, striking at both horns with a single move. This was the Nine-Headed Dragon unleashed by Tsuna, truly possessing the power to collapse mountains and rivers.

Faced with the attack of eight dragon heads, Toshiro seemed to be terrified, completely frozen in place, and was directly smashed to pieces by the dragon heads.

Tsuna certainly didn't think he could defeat the two captains so easily; he held his sword to his chest, ready to guard against any unexpected developments.

A yellow light suddenly flashed on the Nine-Headed Dragon, and a huge yellow sword mark split the Nine-Headed Dragon in two. Kenpachi Zaraki appeared with his Zanpakuto on his shoulder, Kenpachi Zaraki the Nine-Headed Dragon: Slaughtering River had not harmed him in the slightest.

"Make it even more interesting."

Kenpachi Zaraki appeared powerfully in front of Tsuna, wielding his Tsuna with both hands and slashing at him. Tsuna used his Flourishing Rain to defend himself, but he didn't expect Kenpachi 'Tsuna strike to be so domineering. The sword pierced through the water barrier that Tsuna had created and continued to attack him.

Tsuna hurriedly parried with his sword, Kenpachi's strike sent Tsuna flying. In that brief moment, a chill appeared behind Tsuna.

"Ryūsō no Kogetsu!"

Accompanying the sound was Hyōrinmaru's blade, and a huge cross-shaped block of ice hovered in mid-air, freezing Tsuna inside. The one who made the move was, of course, Toshiro.

When Tsuna used the Nine-Headed Dragon: Devastation, Toshiro used the Ice Clone to create a fake substitute, allowing the Nine-Headed Dragon to tear it apart, while he himself waited for another opportunity.

Toshiro knew very well that interfering with Kenpachi's attack would inevitably provoke Kenpachi's displeasure, and since he was being blocked by Tsuna, he would inevitably be dragged into the battlefield by Tsuna. Rather than being dragged along by Tsuna, he might as well find an opportunity to kill Tsuna with one blow.

Sure enough, within a very short time, Toshiro found an opportunity. Taking advantage of the moment when Tsuna was slashed back by Tsuna, Toshiro Tsuna Kenpachi speed, activating Ryūsō no Kogetsu.

Enemies sealed by the Ryūsō no Kogetsu will soon turn to dust along with the ice; this move can be considered one of Toshiro's ultimate techniques.

The battle that had been going on for a day and a night came to an abrupt end. Rage surged from Kenpachi Zaraki's face. The opponent he had finally found was gone, so he would find another one. Kenpachi Zaraki was not picky about anyone.

Kenpachi slashed at Toshiro with his sword, catching Toshiro off Kenpachi. "Kenpachi Zaraki, what are you doing? The enemy has already been defeated!"

"I don't care about enemies, come and fight me!"

Kenpachi Zaraki grinned maliciously, Toshiro immediately understood the monster's intentions. If he wasn't satisfied, Kenpachi probably wouldn't stop.

Toshiro could only pin his hopes on Yachiru. "Yachiru, stop Kenpachi Zaraki! This is not the time for infighting!"

"No, Hachi, Kenpachi didn't get enough of fighting, he's really annoyed now," Yachiru said cutely, tilting her head.

Seeing that Yachiru was no longer a threat, Toshiro could only focus on Kenpachi. The more they clashed, the more Toshiro understood why Tsuna couldn't withstand Kenpachi. This Kenpachi Zaraki, wielding swords with both hands, was simply a monster. Even without using the power of Daiguren Hyōrinmaru, he couldn't withstand Kenpachi Zaraki. Once he used his Zanpakuto, it meant he was attacking his own people.

Just as Toshiro was retreating again and again, and was beginning to struggle to hold on, a chilling spiritual pressure suddenly emanated from the giant cross-shaped ice block lying horizontally in the sky.

"Bankai!"

A sudden burst of icy spiritual pressure shattered the massive ice cross into fragments. These fragments showed no sign of falling, remaining suspended in the air in their cross shape until they were all crushed to dust by the spiritual pressure.

A Tsuna wearing a kendo uniform appeared where the cross had been. He had a katana-shaped necklace hanging on his chest, which still bore the Vongola symbol.

With a flash of light, the necklace split into four beams, two landing on Tsuna's waist and two on the back of his hands. Tsuna's hands now had metallic iron gauntlets, and two katanas appeared at his waist, each with Akita and a swift doll decoration on its hilt.

On the right is Akita Jiro, and on the left is Kojirō. From the four-sword style of Fullbring to the one-sword style of Shikai, and then to the dual-sword style of Bankai, it is enough to show the versatility of the rain attribute power.

Only after all the changes were complete did Tsuna slowly recite the remaining Bankai Release Phrase, "Baptism of blood, Song of Requiem, Rain..."

"That's more like it!" Kenpachi Zaraki stopped pressuring Tsuna and charged towards Toshiro, yelling, "Come on! Give me more pleasure!"

Facing Kenpachi Zaraki Tsuna calmly placed his hand on the head of the Akita on his right tachi and said in a flat tone, "Special move, Rain Dog Menace."

Jiro, perched on the hilt of his sword, barked twice at Kenpachi Zaraki. Kenpachi Zaraki, who was Zanpakuto to launch an attack, suddenly felt the world slow down. In Kenpachi's eyes, both Tsuna and himself seemed to move eight times slower.

This is the power of the Rain Dog Menace. Jiro roars intimidatingly at the enemy, and the invisible Rain Flame infect the enemy, Sedation and slowing their thoughts.

Watching from the rear, Toshiro stared in astonishment at Kenpachi Zaraki's back. He was clearly at the optimal distance to strike, so why wasn't Kenpachi Zaraki swinging his sword? He let his body, propelled by his own explosive force, slowly fly towards Tsuna.

Kenpachi Zaraki had entered Tsuna's attack range. Tsuna immediately gripped the Akita Jiro katana hanging on his right side with his left hand. He held it on his right side of his waist and used it with his left hand. Left Katana, draw the sword!

The trajectory of the katana's swing seemed so slow to Kenpachi Zaraki. Normally, he could block such an attack without any effort, so why was his body so unresponsive?

It wasn't that Kenpachi Zaraki's body was disobedient; the moment he had the thought of defending against Tsuna's attack, his hands were already moving. However, the thought process—from the start of defense to figuring out how to defend—was too slow, and his defense couldn't keep up with Tsuna's strike.

Gradually, the sword strike that Tsuna became so gentle in Zaraki's eyes. Compared to the continuous spring rain and the violent summer rain, it was more like the delicate and gentle autumn rain. Unconsciously, Kenpachi Zaraki's mind was numbed by this sword strike.

But besides the gentleness of autumn, the autumn rain also symbolizes the approaching winter when life withers away. It is a blow that harvests life, a slash known as the autumn rain.

Tsuna stepped forward, drew his sword, and appeared behind Kenpachi Zaraki in an instant. A blue line pierced through Kenpachi Zaraki's left abdomen and down to his right shoulder.

Shigure Soen Ryu, the eighth modified offensive type, autumn rain!

Autumn Rain was originally created by Yamamoto Takeshi's father's fellow apprentice. Because its starting stance is similar to Bamboo Shoot Rain's, involving drawing a sword, it was mistaken by Squalo and never officially appeared in Katekyo Hitman Reborn! Tsuna.

Blood gushed from Kenpachi Zaraki's chest. The pain brought Kenpachi Zaraki's mind back to normal, but due to the severity of his injuries, he lost consciousness Kenpachi Zaraki moment he recovered and fell from the sky.

"Kenpachi!" For the first time, Yachiru felt anxious and caught Kenpachi Zaraki Flash Step.

It was bizarre, far too bizarre. Toshiro watched Kenpachi Zaraki and Tsuna's exchange and couldn't understand what was happening at all. Under these circumstances, he shouldn't have engaged Tsuna in close combat.

Toshiro raised Hyōrinmaru high, and the spiritual pressure of ice and snow gathered around Tsuna, "Sennen Hyōrō!"

One after another, ice pillars suddenly rose up around Tsuna, surrounding Tsuna and connecting with each other, firmly sealing Tsuna inside.

Tsuna remained unhurried, softly calling out, "Jiro."

The Akita on the Left Katana seemed to come alive, jumping off the hilt and transforming into a blue Akita dog made of Rain Flame.

Tsuna began to swing his Left Katana, moving it back and forth in an X-shaped motion. A large amount of Rain Flame poured into Jiro, and Jiro began to grow taller and more imposing.

A series of cracking sounds echoed within the Sennen Hyōrō. Several enormous claw marks merged onto an ice pillar, and Jiro tore a gap in the Sennen Hyōrō.

Tsuna burst out of the gap, still wielding his Left Katana in an X-path. Jiro rushed to Tsuna's side and merged with him as Tsuna swung his sword. A giant dog head made of rainwater cleared a path for Tsuna's blade.

Special style, Left Katana · Dog Special Attack.

Yamamoto Takeshi created the Swallow Special Attack by referencing Squalo's sword technique "Samehada Special Attack," and Tsuna further developed the Dog Special Attack, led by Akita.

Seeing the menacing Tsuna, Toshiro steeled himself, pointed Hyōrinmaru at Tsuna, flapped his wings, and launched his fastest attack at Tsuna.

"Ryūsō no Kogetsu!"

With a loud roar, Tsuna charged at Toshiro, as if the shout provided him with ample momentum.

The dog and the dragon collided, and after a loud bang, the sound of ice shattering echoed throughout the entire Shihōin. One end of the cross-shaped ice block created by the Ryūsō no Kogetsu was bitten off by a huge dog head. The dog head did not stop its movements. As Tsuna continued to swing his sword, the dog head bit the Ryūsō no Kogetsu into ice fragments one by one.

Toshiro quickly retreated from Ryūsō no Kogetsu's range; any slower and he would have been chewed up like a snack by the dog's head, along with Ryūsō no Kogetsu.

After shattering the entire Ryūsō no Kogetsu, Tsuna casually shattered the surrounding ice shards with a horizontal slash, ending the Dog Special Attack technique.

Toshiro looked down at Tsuna. Since Tsuna Bankai, Tsuna had only used one sword; the other sword, which looked like a swallow, had never been drawn.

Is this the power of the Ryoka's Curse?

Even with both captains working together, they couldn't contain this Ryoka. The First Division's judgment was completely wrong; how could the Vice-Captain possibly stop this person?

Toshiro glanced at the partially withered ice flowers behind him. Should he ask the First Division for help? Or should he stall for time?

Without hesitation, Toshiro immediately chose to stall for time. As the captain, he had his own pride, and he wanted to use his own strength to resolve this Ryoka.

This is what Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto was worried about. These so-called captains were all problem children, which is why he asked the Vice-Captain to cooperate, so that the Vice-Captain could make the right judgment when the captains acted irrationally.

Now, Toshiro's Vice-Captain, Rangiku Matsumoto, has been sent to pursue Yoruichi Shihōin, making it impossible for Yachiru to act according to the plan and meeting requirements, as all of Yachiru's attention is focused on Kenpachi Zaraki.

Therefore, no one can assist Toshiro at the moment. What Toshiro wants to do is stall for time so that he can unleash his true Bankai power.

Since Hyōrinmaru is the strongest Ice Style Zanpakuto, and Toshiro is still young and hasn't mastered the full power of Bankai, the ice flowers behind Daiguren Hyōrinmaru Hyorinmaru act as a limiter for Toshiro's Bankai. When all the ice flowers wither, Toshiro's power will increase further. He wants to wait until that moment before striking to defeat Tsuna.

Toshiro fled in the same direction as Rangiku Matsumoto, having calculated that Tsuna wouldn't want him to leave and would definitely try to stop him.

Watching Toshiro's fleeing figure, Tsuna decided to keep Toshiro behind. Instead of chasing after him as Toshiro had imagined, he chose to release his Left Katana.

Tsuna's feet were wreathed in Rain Flame as he kicked the hilt of the katana. Offensive stance, third form: Leaving Rain.

The moment the Left Katana was kicked away by Tsuna, the Rain Flame transformed into a running Akita, increasing its speed once again, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with Toshiro.

Toshiro never expected Tsuna to use this method to keep him here. Before he could even prepare his back, Jiro crashed into Toshiro's back.

With a shattering sound, the Leaving Rain directly destroyed one of Toshiro's ice dragon wings after his Bankai. Rain Flame remained on Toshiro's body, slowing his movements, while the Left Katana grazed past Toshiro's face.

Did you miss?

The moment that thought crossed his mind, Toshiro dismissed it. How could someone capable of taking down Kenpachi Zaraki with a single strike make such a basic mistake?

Then Toshiro realized he couldn't fly fast anymore, and he began to understand why Kenpachi Zaraki was in that strange state.

"Come back, Jiro."

Tsuna remained standing still, only calling out to the Left Katana. Jiro on the hilt seemed to come alive, transforming into a rain dog made of Rain Flame, and ran back with the Left Katana in his mouth.

Jiro was quite cunning, deliberately brushing past Toshiro again, which startled Toshiro so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. Just then, the Sedation effect of the Rain Flame ended, Toshiro instinctively dodged towards the side.

Toshiro was puzzled. He seemed to see a mischievous smile on the Akita's face. Had he been tricked by a dog?
