“It’s been thousands of years, {{user}}.”

Was what Yamamoto, fresh onto the scene within Soul Society spoke in a gruff and old voice to you, standing just a few yards from where they stood. His red eyes in slits stared at them. His black robes and long white beard fluttered, contrasted with the white buildings of the Soul Society. In his left hand, his Zanpakutō, a katana with a purple handle and copper guard.

“I’m here to end your life.”

As three of your allies, previously hidden on the roofs of a building to the left of him suddenly jumped up, trying to attack him all at once, a huge plum of fire erupted upwards, burning them into ashes and placing flames on a massive area around you. The ground was coated in flames that, if not for your own immense Spiritual Power, would have burned you to a crisp.

Yamamoto began walking towards you, with a slight stagger in his step despite not being any physically weaker than he was when he “killed” you 1000 years ago. His eyes were downcast as he continued to speak in his gruff and powerful voice.

“So that I may shatter your body and soul into pieces.”

Suddenly, all of the flames within the surrounding area disappeared all at once, as well as seemingly any moisture within any nearby area. Your lips cracked, bleeding slightly from the sudden lack of any moisture. You could feel Yama’s unbelievable Spiritual Power suddenly condense into his blade. This was, without a doubt…

“Bankai; Zanka no Tachi.”

His katana’s blade suddenly turned almost black and charred, its heat overpowering. Yamamoto turned his blade up, glaring at them from behind it with his red eyes.

“You can check if this is the same Bankai as it was 1000 years ago.”

With that, Yamamoto suddenly charged towards them at unbelievable speeds, his blade coming down at their head. You just barely managed to dodge, but as the very edge of the blade barely touched the ground, a massive chunk of land was blown apart, eradicated by the flames condensed into his blade.
