Bleach: I Have No Talent

As Shiro and Katsu laughed, basking in the warmth of their reunion, the world around them shifted to a darker, more sinister reality. In the distance, the air grew heavy with an ominous presence.

Kurozai moved like a predator stalking its prey. The creature, an unholy fusion of Hollow and Shinigami essence, prowled the rooftops of Rukongai District 76, the twisted mask on his face gleaming under the dim light of the moon.

Aizen had given him a cloth—a cloth that still carried Shiro's scent. Kurozai sniffed it with an eerie calmness, the scent like a beacon calling him closer. The smell was intoxicating, a blend of Shiro's unique essence, tainted by the emotions that swirled around him. It only spurred Kurozai's primal instincts to hunt and kill.

The creature leapt from roof to roof, each jump more fluid, more terrifying than the last. His form was an abomination, taller and bulkier than any Hollow should be, with rippling muscles beneath cracked, jagged skin. His hollow hole gaped open like a black abyss, an empty void in his chest that seemed to devour the very light around him. His mask—a grotesque, sharp-toothed grin—was the only thing visible beneath the shroud of night.

Kurozai was close now. He landed silently on the next rooftop, his claws scraping the old stone as he crouched low, surveying his target. Below, Shiro and Katsu sat together, unaware of the nightmare descending upon them.

The hollow's cold eyes gleamed with malevolent intent. He could feel the proximity of his target. His mission was simple: kill Shiro. And any witness to his arrival would meet a gruesome end

In the blink of an eye, Kurozai was already moving. He blurred into speed with a sudden Sonido, a flash of darkness that ripped through the air like a deadly storm. Before Katsu could even register the danger, Kurozai was there, his massive claws slashing through the air, delivering a brutal backhand that sent Katsu flying through the wall of the building. The sound of shattered stone and wood echoed through the streets.

Kurozai wasn't done. With the same terrifying speed, he turned his attention to Shiro. His claws twisted into a fist, and he reared back, preparing to strike with lethal force. The hollow's gaze locked onto Shiro's, and for a brief moment, there was a flicker of recognition in the beast's hollow eyes. The moment stretched out—Shiro was frozen, his body stunned by the speed and the sheer horror of the creature before him.

Then the kick came, like a tidal wave of destruction aimed at Shiro's head.

Everything happened in the span of two seconds. The world seemed to slow as the hollow's leg rushed toward Shiro's skull. There was no time for fear, no time for hesitation. Katsu was already a victim, lying unconscious in the wreckage. And Shiro? He was next.

But then… something within Shiro shifted. The anger that had bubbled inside him at the mere sight of this horrific creature surged, and before he could even think about what he was doing, his Sharingan activated on its own. The world around him slowed even further, and in that fraction of a moment, Shiro's body moved of its own accord.

He dodged the hollow's kick by inches, the air cracking with the force of the blow as it slammed into the ground beside him. Shiro's heart raced, his instincts taking over as adrenaline flooded his veins.

The system screen appeared before him, but this time, it wasn't its usual calming blue glow. Instead, it flashed a deep, terrifying red.

Shiro's eyes widened, but there was no time for fear. His body moved of its own accord, propelled by a deep, primal instinct to survive. A massive, clawed fist came down on him, and without thinking, Shiro weaved to the side, narrowly avoiding the blow that would have shattered his bones. His heart was pounding in his chest, but his body was already reacting faster than his mind could comprehend.

Kurozai, frustrated by the miss, growled low and loud, a sound that reverberated through the air like a living earthquake. The hollow's gaze locked onto Shiro again, his eyes burning with an insatiable hunger.

Shiro's muscles tensed as the creature lunged forward again. He wasn't going to last much longer unless he could think of something—anything—to stop this beast. The weight of the situation hung over him like a dark cloud, suffocating him as the system's warning flashed in his mind. He could feel the danger, but there was no way out. There was no one coming to save him. He was alone.

But Shiro had always been a survivor.

Kurozai's hollow hole gaped wide, its monstrous mouth twisting into a grotesque grin as it unleashed a Black Cero. The dark beam of energy shot forward like an unstoppable storm, tearing through the air with a deafening screech. The sheer pressure from the blast cracked the earth beneath Shiro's feet as he leaped to the side, narrowly avoiding with his Sharingan the full brunt of the attack. The ground beneath him buckled from the force, sending large chunks of stone flying through the air.

"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu!" Shiro bellowed, slamming his palm onto the earth. Instantly, a massive swirling sphere of water formed around Kurozai, trapping it inside the watery prison. The water rose quickly, enveloping the hollow's massive body, holding it in place as it struggled against the restraints.

Kurozai howled in frustration, thrashing violently within the prison, its claws slashing through the water, sending waves splashing against the barrier. But Shiro's grip on the water strengthened as he focused, his Reiatsu weaving into the prison. He could feel the hollow's power, its relentless rage, but for a moment, it seemed subdued.

Just as Shiro thought he had the upper hand, Kurozai's body contorted and writhed, becoming an unnatural blur. Before Shiro could react, the hollow's monstrous form vanished from the prison in a flash using sonido, appearing behind him with a speed that was almost incomprehensible. With a sickening snap, a massive claw slammed into Shiro's back, the impact sending him crashing into the ground with a bone-jarring thud. He could feel the air knocked from his lungs as the earth cracked beneath him, his vision spinning.

Before he could recover, Kurozai was on him again. The hollow's claws, jagged and dripping with dark energy, wrapped around Shiro's throat, lifting him effortlessly off the ground. Shiro's legs dangled, his chest constricting as the creature's grip tightened. His vision blurred, his breath becoming shallow. He could feel his life slipping away, the crushing force cutting off his circulation.

His instincts screamed, but he was trapped. The pressure in his head, the lack of air, it was all too much. But he couldn't give up—not like this.

With his thoughts growing hazy, Shiro's hand moved instinctively to his side, his fingers brushing the hilt of his Asauchi. His mind began to focus, forcing himself to clear away the haze. He couldn't let this be the end.

His Reiatsu flared, surging out in a desperate attempt to break free from Kurozai's vice-like grip. He could feel the hollow's power, its raw savagery pressing down on him, but Shiro wasn't a mere prey to be hunted. He was a warrior.

"Shō!" Shiro shouted with every ounce of strength he could muster, sending a shockwave of force at point-blank range. The blast reverberated through the hollow's body, pushing it back slightly, enough for Shiro to gasp for air. The grip on his throat loosened, if only for a moment, but it was enough.
