Soon enough the gears of fate started moving once again, Ichigo and company had invaded Soul Society. But Seireitei not yet.
As expected they had all that fiasco in the gates of Sereitei. They got closer, the gatekeeper appeared dueled Ichigo and lost.
The gatekeeper then tried to open the gate only to be stopped by Ichigmaru, that much like in canon played around with Ichigo before kicking him back and slamming the door to his face.
Orihime being the gentle soul that she is immediately started to treat the gatekeeper wounds with her bullshit rejection ability that she somehow only uses to heal.
Soon enough they arrived at the Rokungai district, Ichigo reunited with the long-lost family of his father's side and quickly proceeded to try to make the barrier for the ”cannonball”.
Well, even with the changes Ichigo is still Ichigo. He failed miserably showing how extremely poor his [Reiatsu] control was. But the stubborn fool wouldn't give up no matter what, so I was not surprised he spent a great deal of time trying to do it.

He was failing miserably until his cousin came to help him. Differently from canon, Ichigo didn't instantly antagonize his relative, he was rather calm about that. Don't get me wrong, they still looked like they hated each other's guts, but they have a remarkably more favorable impression of each other.
So his cousin came relatively earlier to help him with his troubles. The same problem occurred of Ichigo almost blowing up the house to space. Thankfully Yoruichi and the gang arrive on time to defuse the situation.
Ichigo continued training and training to get the thing right. It was remarkably touching seeing something like that. And when he finally passes out and started to sleep due to exhaustion, I decided to borrow the clueless sleeping teenager.
”Invaded the Soul Society, have you?”, my tone of voice almost instantly awoke Ichigo. That upon seeing me let out a groan of frustration.
Right now we are both in a wild area of soul society I prepared just for this, it is unironically one of the things that resemble the human world the most. Ichigo quickly recognized the clearing, and the old man; ”Old man? Is that you? after you disappeared for more than 10 days I thought I would never have more of these crazy dreams...”, he trailed off, his mind apparently fixed elsewhere. Probably thinking about saving his friend Rukia.
Seeing the atmosphere is quickly learning in a gloomy direction I interrupt it; ”The biggest advantage you have, do you know? hmm.”, my question was mostly out of curiosity trying to find what changed about his understanding of [Zanjutsu] after training with Uraha for some very long days.
Ichigo looked pretty clueless to what I am talking about, he couldn't connect the dots right now, and the shitty cryptic way of talking is not helping, so I decided to help him a little; ”To swordsman, that by the sword they live and die, most important, what is?”.
This time Ichigo was able to connect the dots; ”The sword??”, there was still some clear doubt on his voice, but he did indeed get it right.
”Indeed. Wordsman normally, searches their whole life to find the perfect swords, and nothing they seem to find. You, lucky to be wielding your own soul into battle. Better sword for you, there is not.”, At this Ichigo seems to stop for a little bit. his mind going towards my words trying to understanding them.
”So that is why I advanced so fast...”, he trailed off, his brain still thinking about a great number of scenarios.
”One of the many reasons, that was. But the only one, it was not. To master the sword, need you to be familiar with the weapon, for you to use the sword until part of you it becomes. To give life to the sword is to master it.”,
Ichigo grabs [Zangetsu] and looks at it intensely for some seconds; ”... Are we gonna train old man?”, the orange-haired teen quickly asked, probably wanting to get direct to the point.
”Indeed. A dangerous road before you, you have. The chance of triumph equal to the chance of danger it is. Now, ready yourself, because fight we will.”, After that, I simply summoned my own [Zanpakutou] and slashed towards him vertically.
Ichigo showing very clear improvement, and more refined flexes was quickly able to parry it, and counter-attack with a slash of his own...
We spent hours fighting and fighting without stopping, Ichigo got better, and better and better. the fact that [Zanpakutou] are our souls makes it easier to get familiar with your sword, to reach the stage the sword is basically an extension of your body. I don't know why no Shinigami don't use it... It's like they want to deliberately be weak.
I mean... A lot of Shinigami were simple humans before, so their excuses kind of really fall short when you think about it.
Soon the training ended. And I simply deposited Ichigo back where he was, flooded his body with [Yang Release], and just waited for the action to start tomorrow.
