Itachi Rebirth: A Shinigami Tale

All of the shinigami on the battlefield stopped in their tracks as a large garganta opened in the sky, one far larger than the others the Espada used to come through. A bright purple eye peered through the garganta as a massive hollow popped its head out. The hollow had a singular purple eye with a bulbous body and below it, were many Menos Grande. Standing in front of the Menos Grande, were two individuals. One appeared to be an arrancar child with blond hair. The other was a tall man with black hair that went down past its eyes and a white blindfold over his eyes was visible underneath his hair. He had fair skin and wore the standard Arrancar attire.

Suddenly, the childlike arrancar let out a deafening scream, blowing away the smoke cloud that was covering Barragan. Itachi activates his Mangekyou Sharingan in response and attempts to use Amaterasu on the large hollow. His attention is diverted however as the tall Arrancar man who was standing next to the child was suddenly next to Itachi. Itachi turned his head and saw the Arrancar in time to activate the rib cage of his Susanoo.

The Arrancar threw a devastating punch at Itachi, nearly shattering the ribcage of the Susanoo and sending Itachi flying through several buildings.

"So Lord Aizen finally brought you out..." Harribel commented as she watched Itachi get blown back.

"Lord Aizen no longer needs you. I will deal with this one." He replied

In a swift movement, the Arrancar drew his blade and cut cleanly through Harribel's torso. As Harribel collapsed down to the buildings below, she looked towards Aizen's direction, enraged at his betrayal. Aizen met her gaze and simply smiled before looking back at the fights.

The arrancar that had struck Itachi disappeared and reappeared on the ground next to the rubble where Itachi was buried.

"Die."

The arrancar looked down at the rubble and raised his right hand. A red glow began to form in its hand before unleashing it into a massive explosion.

---

"Overkill much?" Gin said as he looked at the giant mushroom of red reiatsu at the other side of the city.

"If a blast like that could have killed Uchiha, I wouldn't have wasted my time creating that Arrancar." Aizen replied.

"Aizen!!!!!" A voice yelled from behind Aizen.

Aizen and Gin both turned around and were met with Shinji, Komamura, and Hisagi with their zanpakutos drawn. Aizen grinned as he gestured for Gin to stand back.

"Ryuusenka!" A voice yelled from the side of the Arrancar. The Arrancar did not react as Toshiro, clad in the ice of his bankai, struck the Arrancar, encasing it in a large formation of ice.

"Uchiha!" Toshiro yelled as he searched the debris for Itachi, trying to sense his spiritual pressure. Suddenly, the ice behind Toshiro shattered as a hand grabbed the side of Toshiro's face and began to glow red.

From the rubble, Itachi suddenly burst out, with blood dripping down his face. Before the Arrancar had a chance to fire the cero, Itachi quickly cut off his arm and pushed Toshiro out of the way while kicking the Arrancar back. The arm flew into a nearby building, exploding in a tower of red reiatsu as the cero lost its charge.

"Captain Hitsugaya, I'll require your ȧssistance taking this one down." Itachi said as he looked at the Arrancar standing up again. The Arrancar brushed the dust off his shoulders with his other hand and raised the arm that was originally cut.

Suddenly the arm that Itachi had originally cut off came flying out of the debris from the nearby building and reattached to the Arrancar's arm.

"I am Kaulico Jaque, an Arrancar created by Lord Aizen specifically to kill you, Uchiha Itachi." Kaulico said as he drew his sword. Toshiro raised his sword in front of him as Itachi's Mangekyou pattern began to spin, both preparing themselves to fight.

"Overpower, Archienemigo." Kaulico said as his body began to glow. A dense reiatsu filled the air around them as Kaulico's body began transforming. His sword in his left hand merged with his arm, becoming a giant white, hollowfied claw with red pulsating marks traveling up to his shoulder. His shoulder had two armored spikes at the front and the back. The blind fold that he wore changed form and became a V shaped hollow mask covering the center of his face with light amounts of armor surrounding the vital areas of his body.

"This reiatsu is too much…" Toshiro commented quietly to himself. Itachi remained unfazed as he kept analyzing the arrancar in front of him. In terms of raw reiatsu, it was greater than Ulquiorra's second resurreccion.

"Uchiha do you have a plan for-" Before Toshiro could finish his sentence, Kaulico appeared next to him, ripping Toshiro's ice wings off and kicking him halfway across the town.

"Amaterasu!"

From point blank range, Itachi unleashed the black flames at Kaulico while enveloping himself inside of the fourth stage of the Susanoo. The flames engulfed Kaulico but Kaulico ignored them and with his enhanced arm, punched the front of Itachi's Susanoo.

Itachi blocks the punch with the Yata Mirror but feels the force of the punch reverberate through the rest of the Susanoo as the ground below him shatters.

Itachi continued to observe Kaulico as his skin began peeling off, taking off the inextinguishable flames as they dropped to the floor.

'This Arrancar...is blind and can shed off Amaterasu's flames. Aizen created a monster.' Itachi thought to himself as he raised his Susanoo's other arm.

"Yasaka Magatama!"

A string of dense reiatsu beads formed in the Susanoo's hand and were thrown at Kaulico. Kaulico, using Sonido, dodges at the last moment and reappears behind Itachi's Susanoo and points its left arm at Itachi. Itachi turns his head to see Kaulico but the Susanoo is unable to turn around in time.

"Canon del Cero."

A reiatsu dense Cero is immediately fired from Kaulico's arm, engulfing the Susanoo as the large ray vaporized the buildings in a line that spanned across the whole town, leaving a large trail of smoke.

"Sennen Hyoro!"

"Uchiha I can't hold this for long. Whatever plan you have, do it now!"

The smoke from the earlier blast cleared as Itachi flared his reiatsu once more and activated his Susanoo. The Susanoo, unlike earlier, was no longer armored and looked more humanoid with several holes throughout its body. With its arms, the Susanoo clasped its hands together as if forming a hand sign while Itachi raised his hand inside.

"Seeping crest of turbidity. Arrogant vessel of lunacy! Boil forth and deny! Grow numb and flicker! Disrupt sleep! Crawling queen of iron!-" Itachi said, beginning the incantation for Kurohitsugi.

"Damn I can't hold it...there isn't enough moisture to keep recreating it…" Toshiro grunted as he struggled to reform the ice pillars fast enough to keep Kaulico inside.

"Cascada!" A voice shouted next to Toshiro. Toshiro turned his head, surprised to see Harribel with a deep wound in her torso, ȧssisting in keeping Kaulico at bay. A large torrent of water fell from the sky, giving Toshiro enough water to freeze and continue keeping Kaulico trapped inside.
