The Path Of The Great Sovereign
/ The Path of the Great Sovereign 115 The Time Draws Near
(A/N: Kan is the currency of the Soul Society, I have no idea WTF it's exchange rate is so lets just say 1 Kan = 1 USD)
He purchased property from the wealthy businessmen and women who lost everything in the attack at 2 times the market value of the property before the Attack. Using his new assets he started to build traditional Japanese style buildings with a modern vibe to it, these were used to start many new Businesses in the name of the Shiba.
The Shiba name went from obscure to major when he became the Head Captain, now the Shiba name held weight no matter what Area of the Soul Society you went to. As Tatsuo wasn't a believer of trickle down economics he created opportunities for the lower income parts of the soul society to gain a more stable source of income.
This caused an economic boom in the outskirts of the soul society as the Shiba came in to regulate the way things were done in these areas drastically reducing the crime, poverty, and death rates. This caused more people to spend money which in turn made the Shiba money.
Tatsuo the noticed a trend, as he increased the Standard of living in these areas more individuals with the capabilities to become Soul Reapers started to appear causing an influx of applications to the academy.
They say if you have the people behind you there is nothing that could stop you. The Shiba Clan experienced that first had as the Voice of the Shiba became what many would look for in there political discussions. As this was not part of his plan at all Tatsuo was surprised but he was getting closer and closer to his goal.
During this time Tatsuo also attempted to fused Hokori and Anchisukiru however they both rejected each other entirely as they both fought for supremacy each time. In order to make the two of them into one he would need some sort of catalysis which would eliminate the negative emotional aspects of both creating something far more pure and holy.
With Siri he could easily purchase such a tool from the system store however, as the Soul King is the current overgod of this Plane he would not be able to restructure it as he pleases there for the Soul King himself is the catalysis.
So this Quincy invasion will give him the opportunity to get into the Soul King's Dimension and take the Seat of Overgod for himself.
'In the future it would seem that I will have to Kill the Overgods of the Planes in order for me to take that position for myself. Just Ascending to godhood is sufficient if I want to move to a higher plane however what I want is to start on my reorganization of the Planes while moving through them and not every Overgod will be as easy as the Soul King.'
During his repeated attempts to become a God he also came across this revelation. Just based off the power he possed in Plane 20 we can all imagine what the power the Overgod of higher ranking Planes whom have been in power far longer are able to muster.
During this time he also took the opportunity to personally train the Seated officers of the Gotei 13. As a individual doned with the moniker Saint of the Sword the members of the Gotei 13 tried their best to absorb as much knowledge as possible.
"When wielding a Sword that sword should become an extension of yourself. Just as you know the limits of your body you should know the limits of your sword. A true master has no need to fear his own power as he knows the limits of his power. If you fear your power then you are not qualified to wield such power. Of course there are dangers when using certain powers so while you shouldn't be afraid you should remain cautious and alert, negligence is a primary factor in disaster."
His lecture completely shattered some people's view of the way of the sword. Shuhei Hisagi was one of the most drastic as fearing his power was the primary instruction instilled into his very bones by his former Captain, Kaname.
There were many Soul Reapers who became more intuned with their Zanpakuto as their swordsmanship improved. This caused many to find their Bankai true forms Like Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Abarai.
Today marked one month until the Quincy invasion, Standing on the execution grounds the Head Captains Haori fluttered in the breeze as a Area was set up for today's exercise. As he overlooked the Seireitei below, everyone took notice that today the Head Captain did not fasten his Zanpakuto to his person as usual yet he held one in his hand as the other was nowhere to be seen.
Turning around to peer at the completed arena Tatsuo took notice of the entire Gotei 13 which was present seated below the Arena set up for this exhibition. The 12 Captains and 13 Lieutenants were all standing within the Arena, Tatsuo then made his way to join them up above.
Stepping on to the battlegrounds he spoke in a gentle tone yet all were able to hear his words.
"Today I have gathered you all here today to witness the results of the Training your Captains put you all through. Your Captains and Lieutenants were also put through that very same training by me, the purpose was to improve the overall battle capabilities of out Gotei 13 after that incident which happened over a year ago. Today all of the Captain Level Soul Reapers in the 1st seat of Captain and the 2nd Seat of Lieutenant will face me, Head Captain Tatsuo Ichizo Shiba, in a mock battle."
When that was said all the Squad members began to cheer as it is not often you get to see a battle which involves the most powerful members of the Gotei 13. Tatsuo raised his hand and the earlier cheers were instantly silenced.
"In this Battle the only rule is to not kill your opponent or severely injure them all else is permitted."
Finishing his piece Tatsuo made a gesture and 3rd Seat Cifer stepped forward to referee the match.
"Are you ready sir?"
Tatsuo just nodded his head.
"Are you all ready?"
The others did something similar.
"Begin!"
"Bankai."
Byakuya wasted no time as he was the first to make any sort of movement.
" The pink pedals of his Zanpakuto quickly came into view mesmerizing the crowd with it's beauty. " The Billion flower petals surrounded the Head Captain as he stood the with a slight smirk on his face as he was rather impressed by Byakuya's decisiveness. The petals quickly surrounded him sealing him off from the rest of the world. "This should buy us a few seconds what is the Plan?" Byakuya turned to his colleagues as he already felt the strain of attempting to contain the Head Captain. "We have to coordinate our attacks, not only that but we cannot afford to pull punches." "I agree with Captain Ichimaru as the He" Before Unohana could finish what she was saying a voice from within Byakuya's attack resounded. " The sky was covered in millions of small Golden circles as blades began to come out of each and everyone of them. Axes, Two handed bladed, Katanas, Javelins, spears, if you can think of a bladed weapon there is a High possibility it was displayed before the Gotei 13 currently. Within the sphere Tatsuo swung Hokori dispelling Byakuya's attack, all of them turned to look at the Head Captain whole now looked like a completely different person. His eyes displayed his Timeless Sharingan to the world as the tomoe slowly moved around the pupil in the center. "Sorry for the interruption, I hope I did not ruin your planing." Tatsuo said this as he looked at the Officers with a teasing smile, his eyes adding into it made him appear to be a sly fox baiting the prey to strike. "I forgot to tell you that you should all use every thing you could possibly think of when you attack. Group attacks, Sneak Attacks, Bankai, Kido, Bakudo, if it appears in your head it's free game because I will respond appropriately." Saying this Tatsuo pointed to the sky. "A Billion Swords vs A Billion Blades. The Captains looked up at the metal rain.
