I do not own Bleach but that is owned by Tite Kubo or the other animes because they are owned by their respected creators. This is my first story, so be patient as the story progresses. My OC characters and the Byakuringan (OC Kekkei Genkai or bloodline that I created) are owned by me!
Chapter 1: Enter Dragon God of Flash
A zanpakuto's shape and abilities are based on their Soul Reaper's soul. Once a Soul Reaper learns his/her sword's name, they are able to communicate with one another and grow stronger together. They are born with their Soul Reaper, and they die with their Soul Reaper. They are zanpakuto.
It was a dark night around midnight in the middle of May. Now on this night, a Soul Reaper known as Rukia Kuchiki was taking down these fallen souls called hollows. It was that on her attempt to defeat them, she lost a lot of blood. Earlier on she met a human of the name Ichigo Kurosaki. When Ichigo Kurosaki's family was in danger, Rukia turned Ichigo Kurosaki into a substitute Soul Reaper. Ichigo was able to defeat the hollow and also save his family from the hollow danger.
A young man appeared on top of a pole watching the sky, he had white hair, had strong muscles which it was not a lot. Then he had white cerulean eyes which can reflect the ocean. Then he has worn, Soul Reaper Shihakusho robes (the standard attire for all ranking Soul Reapers). Then over the Shihakusho robes was a white haori that had blue flames on the bottom of the coat and on the coat there were dragon markings that also had the kanji symbols for "Ryu" (Dragon) and "Arashi" (Storm) on each side of the coat. Along with that, he carries two zanpakutos on his back and the third one on his left side. After a few minutes of shunpo to Urahara's shop, he knocked the door.
"It has been a long time Urahara. I have missed you guys for a while though." The young man smiled which put Urahara speechless.
"Well, well, it has been a long time Ryu. Come inside then so we could talk on what you had been doing for such a long time."
"All right Urahara I would like that."
So both Urahara and Ryu sat down on the table.
"So tell me Ryu, what brings you here after leaving for a long time?" Urahara asked.
"Well I was training for all that time mastering my Vizard powers after I became one. I realize on what the Vizard powers can use like using Cero, Bala and controlling lesser hollows." Ryu said. The last time that Urahara had seen Ryu after his mother's death was 100 years ago.
How is father doing since I last seen him since mother died around when I was younger? Besides all those other times, I helped out you guys with past problems. You do know exactly Urahara that you, Kuro, Sophia, Tessai, Yoruichi hime and I along with our friends have lived for a long time. Besides we all choose our forms that other Soul Reapers, spirits and the humans would see us. Since time ages slowly at Soul Society we are currently at the forms we are in right now."
"Your father taken your mother's death so hard he almost died of a broken heart but when he met Masaki and they had three children." Urahara then said in a calm voice, though he was in sadness that he has to explain now to his childhood friend that he had missed watching his new younger siblings. Even after what happened to his younger brother Rai when he was summoned to an unknown student of the Soul King ten years before Ryu lost his mother. "Masaki died around the time your little brother Ichigo was around 9 years old from a hollow. The whole family took that death so hard."
"I see well some things never change but that we just have to leave it behind and move on that is what my father told me long ago." Ryu sighed over the news he heard about his father's situation. Ryu, after traveling from countless alternate universes, knew that eventually Masaki Kurosaki would be killed by the hollow Grand Fisher.
"I agree on that Ryu, I agree on that as well."
"So anyway where is father?"
"He should be at a place called Kurosaki Family Clinic. That is also where your siblings should currently live there."
"All right then, thanks Urahara."
Then Ryu noticed on Urahara a suppression seal. "Byakuringan Suppression Seal, release!" Ryu whispered. Urahara never heard his best friend saying those words.
"Please forgive me old friend, but it seems the time has come to return back your old memories and also your power as well. Benihime, please protect your partner because I fear that the worst is yet to come. You, me, my friends and eventually the Soul Society." Ryu thought as he prayed to his childhood friend's safety.
After saying good bye to Urahara, Ryu then shunpo to the house that had the sign "Kurosaki Family Clinic". Ryu then changed his clothes, which had him still retaining the same appearance while wearing a white shirt, blue jeans with grey summer shoes. He knocked the door and after a minute, Isshin answers the door. He was shocked when he has seen his son.
"Ryu, it truly has been a long time."
"I know father, besides Urahara told me about that incident that happened years ago."
Isshin cried at his son's chest. "I am so sorry; I am the worst father ever. I tried so hard and yet I lost two loved ones." Isshin said while he was still in tears from all the regrets he has done in his life.
"You're not the worst father, I am. Not seeing my younger siblings wasn't the worst thing I have done in my life. No, it's what I have done to my newly discovered elder brother that you will never forgive me for." Ryu thought sadly.
"It is alright father, I forgive you and besides I know it was truly heartbreaking that this happen twice now but I am here now so shall we get to sleep then. You once taught me that we have to move on after losing someone that we truly loved." Ryu said right before like with Urahara seen the Byakuringan Suppression Seal and whispered "Byakuringan Suppression Seal, release!" Isshin, like with Urahara never heard Ryu spoke of those words and thought it was the winds speaking.
"Father, I have given back to you what you have lost centuries ago, I hope that you truly forgive me on my own actions on my family because I don't deserve to be your son." Ryu sadly thought.
Isshin, hearing those kind words from his son, stopped crying. "Thank you Ryu for everything." Isshin said.
"It is alright, look I too miss mom a long time ago but, I moved on and became a better person that way. But I do look forward though to meet my siblings in the morning."
"I will redeem myself by caring for my younger siblings now. It's what would Rai wanted for me to do. I truly missed you everyday that you left us to become the next apprentice of the Soul King." Ryu thought.
So both Isshin and Ryu went to sleep in two single beds. The beds were like that when both Isshin and Masaki were married.
In the morning, the three Kurosaki children were eating breakfast. "So dad, what do you want to tell us about this surprise?" Ichigo asked which he was curious about his father.
"Well you see it has been a long time but you have an elder brother and he just came in last night."
"What the hell why you never told us about an elder brother." Karin said after she was angry with her father.
"Settle down big sister I know father had a reason why he never told us." Yuzu was leaning to her big sister Karin.
"You can come in now, son." Isshin called to Ryu. Ryu then came down the stairs and they were surprised on seeing their big brother for the first time.
"Hello there my siblings I am so sorry that father never told about me but I just came back yesterday like father told me. My name is Ryu and I am happy to meet you guys."
"Well Ryu since you introduce yourself why don't let your siblings to introduce themselves."
"Karin."
"Yuzu."
"Ichigo."
"Well Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu it is nice to meet you guys. I know that I was gone for so long and I was with mom a long time ago before you were born, but I am here now and I will try my best to help you in any way I can. Because that is what elder siblings do they help their little brother and sisters out." Ryu smiled at his newly found siblings.
Ichigo was impressed by his brother that he knows pretty much everything on what an elder sibling does. Karin was curious on how her big brother would go in a spar. Yuzu was also curious on if her brother can cook like she does.
"Well Ichigo, Karin and Yuzu, should you best be going to school now?" Isshin asked.
"Yeah you are right that is the time so see you later big brother." Ichigo went quickly to high school without being late though for Ichigo, the idea of having an elder brother will get some time to adjust to it. Karin and Yuzu went at their own pace to school. After a few minutes that the younger siblings went out, Ryu and Isshin talked.
"So son, what do you think about your brother and sisters?"
"Let me see Yuzu seems to be an innocent and kind girl like mom used to be though. Yuzu would have not seen any spirits yet. Karin is a tomboy since she has done many sports though it has not been after school clubs at their school. Karin had seen some spirits already but she is not that much opened to them like Ichigo.
Father, there is the thing that another Soul Reaper was at Ichigo's closet but she went already to high school. She was the Soul Reaper that was sent to kill a hollow but Ichigo then absorbs her powers and became a Substitute Soul Reaper and defeated that hollow. At the time I trained at the realm of the hollows, Hueco Mundo, there were many disturbances that do bring to mine, you and Urahara's attention.
There are these beings called Arrancars or hollows that have Soul Reaper powers. The Arrancars that I killed were incomplete. They had zanpakutos but they still had their hollow reiatsu incomplete. You two must know already of what their powers can hold." Ryu said as Isshin sighed over this and thought for a minute before speaking to his son. Isshin was surprised that somehow that Ryu knows about the attack that happened yesterday. Though he doesn't know the person yet, Isshin is curious on Ryu's knowledge of what happened yesterday.
"So you have noticed as well Ryu. For a while now both Urahara and I were aware of these Arrancars. At the same time more Vizards have appeared in many times before. As you know already, a century ago, Sosuke Aizen did some illegal experiments called Hollowfication and cause Soul Society to lose four Captains and four Lieutenants while three Captains were exiled in helping them. Of course that the four Captains I'm talking about is your old superiors when you were with the Soul Society before your mother's death. Thus those former Soul Reapers became Vizards it was the help of Urahara and you that we were able to save those people.
Unfortunately, Aizen along with his partner Gin Ichimaru and a brainwashed Kaname Tosen that Aizen used with his zanpakuto, Kyoka Suigetsu, were behind all of this. To the worse of it they used this chance to fill in the gaps of Captains of Squads 3, 5 and 9. Aizen is the Squad 5 Captain, Gin is Squad 3 Captain and Kaname is Squad 9 Captain. But do not forget also that your old superior Lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto is serving Toshiro Hitsugaya, which he is the new Squad 10 Captain. Rangiku is the oldest Lieutenant while you went and trained Toshiro, Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake and Byakuya Kuchiki."
"I see, well I will free Kaname from his imprisonment when I get to him. I would have to meet Shinji sensei and his allies again. But these Arrancars were either created by Aizen or they were created from the beginning. At the same time however, Soul Society have already recognize me as the Dragon God of Flash, Ryu Uchiha, since I killed thousands of hollows while in my hollow mask. They do not know of my identity yet and besides like you I have masked the spirit energy up to the point when no one can ever find me.
I think also that the hollow that killed about 6 years ago will attack at the anniversary of my step mother's death. Since he wants Ichigos' powers he will target on that day. Then I will kill that hollow with Ichigo and that hollow will suffer for making my younger brother suffer for all these years. Besides since the Soul Reaper had transferred her powers to Ichigo, she will soon be captured by Soul Society for that crime. Aizen will use this chance to make his move to obtain something that we are not sure on what Aizen wants for the time being. The Captain Commander knows of my identity and he would want me to become Captain. Besides meeting our old friends would make them happy to see us though. If that plays out then we would tell Ichigo the truth." Ryu said as he knew from the parallel universes that Aizen use the execution as a scapegoat to steal from Rukia's body the Hogyoku.
"I had no grudge against it and the only thing I regret from this is the lack of power. If I was not so careless then Masaki hime would still be alive. Yeah I know it would come to that and if that happens then I would be proud of you becoming a Captain like me."
"I know it was truly horrific when mother died from the disease but she is at peace watching over the two of us."
"I guess you are right my son but now should you be going to high school to where Ichigo is at and also welcome back my son." Isshin smiled at Ryu.
"Right thanks father." Ryu said as he left the house with all his stuff. Isshin then fell down to the ground for a moment as he was flooded with memories of the past.
(Flashback)
The first thing he saw was a village that had many buildings and he then seen a young yellow haired man in robes die sealing a large beast. But what was more surprising is that he now sees an infant that was used to seal the beast. The infant had yellow hair like the young man and on the cheeks were three whisker marks on each side of the cheeks.
"You will become the one person that can change the world Naruto my son." The man said.
Isshin was surprised that an infant was used to save the village from its destruction. But the next thing he sees was very shocking. A few minutes later, the same man along with his wife, a red haired woman met up with four people is truly impossible.
"So, you must been the one that have sacrificed your life to save your son." A young man said.
"Before you send us to the afterlife, I have two requests I ask of you." The man said.
"Very well, what are they?"
"The first is that you raise our son as your own." The woman said.
"I will do that. He will never know about you two, but he will be raised as my son. My hime and I have wanted to adopt a child and he'll be the first. I swear that your lives won't be in vain."
"The other is that I wanted to know your names, the ones who gave our son a chance at a family?"
"Very well, my friend besides me is Kuro Samikaze, next to him is his girlfriend Sophia Kunazaga, then my hime Yoruichi Shihoin and finally my name is Ryu Yamamoto Kurosaki."
"My name is Minato Namikaze and my wife's name is Kushina Uzumaki Namikaze." Minato said as they were konso into the afterlife.
(Flashback ends)
When Isshin seen all of this, he was shocked that somehow that his own son was involved in this. He couldn't believe that it's impossible for Ryu to appear there when he wasn't born yet. When Isshin was at the Soul Reaper Academy, he learned about the Ninja era that happened 250 years ago before he was born.
Even for him, that the Ninjutsus, Genjutsus and Taijutsus from that era were much different than the Hado and Bakudos learned in the academy. Rather than using chants, they used hand signs to use these attacks. When Isshin then looked at the mirror, he was shocked that he was the same person that had sacrificed his life to save the village, Minato Namikaze.
"So I really am Minato Namikaze, but why Ryu? Why did you bring me back to life after 1000 years?" Isshin, remembering his past life as Minato Namikaze, said as he cried after the mistakes he had done to his own family.
So Ryu walked over to the high school where mostly all the high school students were already at the building. Ryu first went to the registration desk and he had seen a young woman that had black hair.
"Are you registering for school because I am as well?" Ryu asked the young woman.
"Of course I am thrilled to be part of a school where there are so many bright and young students coming to the school. Oops my bad, my name is Rukia Kuchiki it is nice to meet you."
"Well, well so this must be Byakuya's newly adopted sister. She must be the same as her big brother. Ah, the Byakuringan Suppression Seal is active in Rukia's soul." Ryu thought.
"Well Rukia, my name is Ryu Kurosaki and I just came to my house yesterday after a long trip so I am taking classes here since my little brother Ichigo is currently attending here. Say, you must be a drawer of art perhaps we could draw some art together as friends."
"Yeah I do look forward to that Ryu." Rukia said cheerfully. "Byakuringan Suppression Seal release!" Ryu whispered and Rukia fell down for a moment before regaining her conscious.
"He is coming back, something I never wanted to see that monster ever again. I will kill that bastard for ruining everyone's' lives that I promise." Ryu thought.
So both Rukia and Ryu after registering for classes they waited outside the classroom.
"Well good morning class!"
"Morning Ms. Ochi!"
"Now let me see as for attendance wise some punk kids are always not here so we will skip that." The students had an anime like sweat on their heads (trust me; they had done that in episode 110 when Shinji was introduced).
"Now we have two new students that have enrolled in school today and to their luck they are in this classroom. You two can come in now."
Both Ryu and Rukia entered the room and many people were interested on the two new students.
"Now guys why you introduce yourselves to the classroom."
"Hai! My name is Rukia Kuchiki and for one I like to draw especially bunnies since they are my favorite animal. I hope I can make friends with the girls in the classroom."
"You, how did you get in here?" Ichigo questioned Rukia.
Then Rukia showed to Ichigo a hand with the words: "Make a scene and I will so break you!"
"You little." Ichigo thought angrily as Rukia smiled evilly.
"All right since Rukia already introduces her to you guys, my name is Ryu Kurosaki. I am Ichigo's elder brother but only a few months older. As for my friend Rukia she is helpful since we both like to draw. I hope to make many friends and maybe have a girlfriend during my time in high school." Ryu said as the high school students quickly brought Ryu's story since in reality that Ryu is 510 years older than Ichigo.
"All right nice introductions Rukia and Ryu now Rukia you sit with Orihime and Ryu you sit with Tatsuki. Orihime and Tatsuki if you would be kind to stand up so that the new students can find you."
Both Orihime and Tatsuki nodded as they stand up for Ryu and Rukia and both students were able to find their seats.
The school lessons for Ryu was interesting since he read up on these subjects in the past. Subjects like Japan history and mathematics were easy for him to learn on and Ryu then raised his hand at times and the teacher was happily impressed on her new student.
At lunchtime, Ryu and Rukia joined Ichigo, Orihime, Tatsuki and Yasutora "Chad" Sado for lunch.
"So big brother what are you doing here?" Asked Ichigo.
"Well, you see father told me that I should enroll in school and also that is where Rukia was also enrolled at. We became friends since we both like to draw art." Answered Ryu.
But then everyone in the group saw Ichigo take Rukia away from them.
"What in the hell? Ichigo you better not hurt Rukia! That would be disrespectful towards women!" Yelled out Ryu towards the two but they disappered before they could hear Ryus' words.
"Well I was hoping that my little brother could introduce yourselves but that may not happen."
"That is alright Ryu my name is Tatsuki Arisawa, over there is Orihime Inoue and the strong man is Yasutora "Chad" Sado."
"Nice to meet you Ryu." Orihime chimed at Ryu.
"Same thing also." Chad said.
"So are there Karate and an Art Club? I do want to get my body to toughen up a tiny bit. Also there is that I want to have a colorful style of drawing art. Especially I like to use calligraphy and pencil art frequently."
"Well Ryu, there is an Art Club that meets on when they are called. Orihime and I can take you there since that is tomorrow and as for Karate Club, I am a member there so they meet after school. I can take you there to my Karate sensei to evaluate you." Tatsuki finished speaking.
"All right, there is nothing I have to do after school I will do that." Ryu replied.
Meanwhile, Ichigo had taken Rukia outside of the school yard where no one can be suspicious of their "chat".
"Hey you! Just what the hell are you thinking?" Ichigo yelled at Rukia.
"My how scary! What is the matter? You're not going to do something to me, are you?" Rukia questioned sweetly.
"First of all, quit talking like that!" Ichigo responded.
"Oh, I think this is pretty good considering I learned it overnight!" Rukia once again responded sweetly.
"Forget it! So why are you here? Weren't you going back to that Soul Society or whatever?" Ichigo asked Rukia.
"Don't be stupid. Only Soul Reapers can go back there. Right now, I don't have that ability."
"What?"
"Last night, most of my powers as a Soul Reaper were taken by you."
"What? I don't know anything about that."
"Thanks to you, I'm stuck in this Gigai form."
"What's a "Gigai"?"
"It's a temporary body provided for use in emergencies. Soul Reapers who are drastically weakened inhabit a Gigai until their powers return."
"That's why my classmates and brother could see you."
"Precisely. And so until my powers return, you will have to do the work of a Soul Reaper."
"What?" Ichigo questioned Rukia which he was puzzled and confused on his situation with the duties of a Soul Reaper.
"It's only natural. You have the powers of a Soul Reaper. You don't have the right to refuse."
"I refuse!"
"What?"
"I don't ever want to fight such monsters again!"
"Ridiculous! You did fine yesterday!"
"That's because my family was being attacked. But I'm not about to fight for complete strangers. Sorry to disappoint you."
As Ichigo was about to leave, Rukia said. "I see. Then it can't be helped." Rukia use her spirit glove to take Ichigo for some hollow hunting (watch episode 2 for that scene).
Back with Ryu, he was finished for the school day when he met up with Tatsuki to go to the school dojo.
"Ah I see you are ready to come to the school dojo."
"Ready as I will ever be Tatsuki."
So both Ryu and Tatsuki went to the school dojo, which was very nicely built. The whole room floor was covered in mats to make the high blows easily safe for the students. There were trophies that were at one side of the room, which was at the size of the gymnasium. One man that had blue hair, his height at 6 feet, weighs 120 pounds, rough skin and hard muscles and was at his 40s was the sensei of the dojo.
"Well Arisawa it seems you brought in a friend of yours is he to try out for the dojo?"
"Yeah but how did you know about that Kai sensei?"
"Well for one thing Arisawa you never brought in any people before except if they would be any new recruits. That is what I could guess at why you brought this new student."
"Yeah you are right this boy is Ryu Kurosaki."
"Ah the new kid and Ichigo's brother eh. Well I hope Ryu that you are not too aggressive than your little brother."
"What do you mean by that, Kai sensei?" Ryu asked as he was not familiar with his siblings yet. Though Ryu had in the past travel to parallel dimensions, Ryu was still curious as to what this parallel versions of his siblings were like.
"I guess that you went on a long trip and you happen to arrive here a few days ago. You must have been out for so long that you never seen your siblings before."
"Oh boy, you are right but how did you know about that?"
"I can easily tell that when you asked me that question earlier."
"Well I suppose that is a good answer. So Kai sensei, are you going to do my evaluation test then?"
"Of course Kurosaki since Arisawa brought you here she will spar with you since she is one of my Black Belt students."
Both Ryu and Tatsuki both were opposite of each other from a distance to start the spar.
"Ryu I hope you do your best then."
"Same thing to you also, Tatsuki."
Tatsuki first started the spar by trying to score a hit on Ryu but he was able to guard the attack. Then what Ryu then does to counterattack is a roundhouse kick on Tatsuki. Tatsuki tries to escape from the move but she was easily defeated by the attack. The whole class was surprised that this was the same person that is Ichigo's elder brother.
"Such strength that this boy has. No wonder why he is Ichigo's elder brother." One guy says.
"Man he could win some expert matches easily." Another guy said.
Ryu then seen the looks of everyone and answered "is there something wrong. Did I do this too hard and harm Tatsuki?"
Ryu then helps Tatsuki get back on her feet and says "I am sorry I did that Tatsuki, I hope I did not hurt you in any way."
"No Ryu, I am just surprised that you were able to counter my move and then deliver a roundhouse kick on me. I see that you were relaxed and you were able to predict my move so easily. Your fighting style is different than with Ichigo had use on me when he was younger." Tatsuki said.
"Well since you were able to best Tatsuki you are in the club. Since we had seen what our new student can do class is dismissed for today. We will meet after lunch and do not worry about classes I will tell your teachers that you are excused for the day." Kai said.
"Hai!" The students shouted to their sensei.
To be continued
Well that was an intense chapter I had written for the new story. There are a couple of minor changes that will happen from the anime but the end result of getting to Soul Society, Bount and Arrancar arcs will still be there. Though I am still re-watching the anime, movies and filler episodes to fit in this story.
Did you like the parts with Tatsuki in there? I gave her more time since mostly she is a minor character that needs to become a major character like Ichigo and the gang. I am doing like an extended version of the episodes like this chapter was from the first episode and half of the second episode.
Kai is a minor OC that will not be featured as much because he is human and eventually, he will die. But to clear things up, he will go to the Soul Society after he dies.
Now the major difference with this story is that Isshin had another woman he loved before he met Masaki. Now of course Ryu came from Isshin's first wife so for now no one knows about the two being Soul Reapers not even Rukia and mostly Soul Society. In a later chapter we will see the back story of Isshin's first wife.
I have put up in my profile the links for my drawings for Ryu Yamamoto Kurosaki and also other drawings that are part of this story. So, have a look and please review them once you check them out in either at the site or in a review at this site.
All right, so I've finished the first chapter of my re-write. The title will still be the same but I have already made some changes to make the characters interact more with the other characters. Every chapter (some chapters will not) that has attacks will have a summary of the moves and attacks used in each chapter.
With this story, I had given Ryu more of an emotional drama he has within because of what he had done to his elder brother. Even more so, Ryu had use a spell of sorts and gave back the memories and powers back to Urahara, Isshin and Rukia. The first person to learn about his past self was Isshin because the two will alter on discuss on what had happened a long time ago, something I wanted to address with this extended version of the story. Don't think that this will be the last you will see the Byakuringan as this will be showing up in every chapter.
Spell: Byakuringan Suppression Seal
Spell Type: Fuinjutsu (Sealing Art)
Spell Rank: X
Summary: The Byakuringan Suppression Seal is a powerful spell that Ryu casts to apply a seal over a person's core of its soul to keep the person's memories, powers, etc. intact for a long time. It can be released only by a person wielding the Byakuringan. Once released, the person retains everything, including their appearance. Though even after the seal is released, it takes a short time before the effects from releasing the seal will activate.
