Jushiro’s assumption about his path being clear to proceed on ahead was indeed false. The Captaincy candidate had every intention of saving the souls that he could. At every turn however, he was faced with a new challenge. It was becoming agonizingly annoying to him. At the same time, it was made apparent that this was no easy task. Like before, Jushiro planned on moving ahead and eliminating the threat to the poor souls down below. His initial plan involved him using two kido spells to dispatch of the enemy. The first-time round, he was faced with an interruption, and as such Jushiro had no choice but to alter his plans. This led to him abandoning his chosen tactics in favour of another plan. He was no stranger to thinking on his feet and adapting to new scenarios. Only a fool would proceed without caution, believing themselves to be impervious to having a blade pierce through their back. This wasn’t Jushiro’s style, as he was fully aware of the consequences facing him if he gets it wrong. And that is how the Arrancar who attacked him were able to be dealt with. A simple alteration of his intended plans meant a different outcome.
Jushiro’s initial opponent was defeated, blown away and reduced to ash. Surely, he could finally deal with the hollows causing havoc down below. More had spawned, he could already sense this and with great clarity too. One thing or person rather that he couldn’t quite keep track of was the moderator, Kagi Taicho. Jushiro’s mastery over sensing meant that hardly anything could escape his grasp. Even the most miniscule portion of Reiatsu can be discerned and tracked by him. What made Kagi different? He figured that Kagi was pulling the strings, causing chaos and possible sitting back watching how Jushiro would react. The Masked One had suspected that Kagi could end up being his opponent. That eventuality was at the forefront of Jushiro’s thoughts too. Now ready to set off and be the saviour and protector that he was supposed to be. Jushiro was once again interrupted by some new occurrences. It appeared that Kagi was indeed quick to act. Before we deal with the current happenings, Jushiro was successful in closing the gap and so had finally arrived where he wanted to be. He was at ground level so to speak, with hollows in his line of sight and a building towering over him. The blaze paled in comparison to the heat radiating from his Zanpakuto. Now that he had a fix on the hollows, it was even easier to target them.
It was a blur. That is how Jushiro would describe Kagi’s initial movements as he crept up on him. Appearing within his line of sight for a mere moment, far too quick for the details to even matter. It was obvious that Jushiro was dealing with a master of the flash steps much like himself. Kagi was a few feet away during what Jushiro would consider his first set of movements. In the context of it all, the first set being one of six different angled movements. Following the first movement was an orange stream of light. As if instinctively, Jushiro’s blade lashed out in a swing, releasing intense heat. This was to invoke two effects; one was to act as an opposing force clashing with the orange light. And the other was to rapidly burn away the perceived Reiatsu which made up the technique. Was this directly from Kagi Taicho? In some ways Kagi had given his location away and now it wasn’t completely impossible to track him.
However, he couldn’t stop there, since Kagi didn’t just make one move alone. Jushiro tried his best to follow the Nibantai Taicho’s movements. It proved difficult, especially as Jushiro couldn’t rely on sensory just yet. The white-haired Shinigami showed his agility by shifting his weight. And in one smooth movement his body was facing another direction, this was his attempt at tracking Kagi. His blade rose again to intercept the slash coming from another angle. Like before, Jushiro used Kisshouten’s abilities to aide him in dealing with Kagi’s strikes. The same method, his blade swung outward releasing more intense heat with the same effect. His body kept turning until he was able to knock down the remaining thin streams of orange coloured light used to attack.
That is what he did right? In the moments that Kagi attacked Jushiro, the masked one frantically tried to block and evade. His agility and nimbleness were on show for Kagi to see. He had one job and that was intercept all these streams of orange light invading his space. It was mission accomplished. Again, that is what he did, right? Meanwhile, the hollows gathered up and began the next phase of their assault. Beams of red energy, all too familiar to Jushiro crashed into the building. The explosive power of the Cero blasts caused even more drama for The Masked One. Drip, drip, drip. He couldn’t yet focus on just what was dripping, he needed to hold his nerve. He had Kagi to deal with and folks from a building soon to be destroyed. Oh boy. “Roppo Fujin” he uttered while his free hand manifested a green glow in the shape of three diamonds stacked atop of each other. Immediately afterwards he vanished from sight, before appearing closer to the gaping hole in the burning building which towered above him.
A green square shaped structure appeared down below the hole where humans started falling through. The structure looked like an open box, but before the first person could completely fall in, Jushiro uttered a few more words. “Bakudo 37, Tsuriboshi”. A blue light formed inside the green square shaped structure before six ropes fired outwards from the blue light. The ropes used the inside of the square shaped structure as an anchor. The energy in the centre solidifies into a flat elastic-like cushion. The primary aim of which was to catch the people falling. Inside this green square is where Jushiro found himself, in a corner, below the canopy of the flat elastic like cushion.
Jushiro had to manipulate the original shape of the green structure to suit his needs. A feat he was quite accomplished at performing when it comes to using Kido. His control over his Reiryoku and capabilities as a Kido master made for some interesting Kido presentation. He couldn’t save everyone; he could only save some people. By this point his Zanpakuto’s temperature had adjusted itself to the point where one could no longer feel the heat radiating from it. Once he was able to save those that he could, the green square shaped structured would be sealed off. This would make it so that falling debris could not harm the people inside. Nor would the building toppling over could breach it. Jushiro’s adrenaline was pumping, he could feel the sudden rush. The excitement is perhaps why he didn’t pay attention to the liquid which trickled down his various parts of his body. Drip, drip, drip. “Hmm?”. He had known about it for some time now but could not completely focus on it. Blood had been spilled and said blood belong to Jushiro. Left shoulder, a diagonal wound across his back and another across his chest. The Masked One was certain that he’d successfully blocked all Kagi’s attacks from before. So why was he wounded? Kagi Taicho was showing himself to be crafty. This is why Jushiro needed to create a barrier, one where he could protect some people and take a quick breather to assess the situation.
The top layer of the skyscraper crashed down below, but fortunately for Jushiro, he managed to vacate the area. And in doing so save himself from being crushed. It wasn’t easy to break through the barrier from the outside. Jushiro made sure to choose a corner to stand in which gave him the perfect vantage point. What was going to be Jushiro’s next move after this? He hasn’t forgotten about the hollows and Kagi was now a problem too. One thing was for certain, Jushiro's next move would take things up a notch.
