No Safe Haven, Battle For Bankai.

Prove your worth.
Hakushomei launched itself at Masatsura again, He had purposely withdrawn his conscious out of Masatsura for this battle, there would be no sharing of thoughts, no hints to get him through this. If Masatsura wanted Bankai, he would have to achive it without aide. With that he swung his blade in a horizontal motion at the neck of the Shinigami, he was going to take his in one clean sweep.

Masatsura was quickly becoming exhausted, he had been on the defensive for the entire battle any attempt a offense was quickly dismissed by Hakushomei. Not to mention it had withdrawn itself from his soul, thus giving Masatsura no kind of for warning for what would come next, he was on his own. At the sight of the blade coming for his head Masatsura quickly raised his own in an attempt to block the oncoming attack. He then followed the block with a straight kick to the stomach in hopes of creating space betwixt the two combatants.

"''Your mind is clouded Masatsura, how can you hope to fight like that?" ''Finshing the lecture Hakushomei caught the foot of Masatsura with his free hand. "Shō." Such a simple phrase, yet when uttered by Hakushomei had the effect of launching Masatsura backwards with such force that had Hakushomei not released his leg it surely would have been lost.
