*Ken had been heading for the Tower for no longer than 5 minutes before he had managed to make it to its feet, only to find a single individual standing guard. Ken, being a ninja, specialized in assassination and stealthy combat. He had made a single handsign attempting to raise his chakra secretly, but with the chakra suppressants active, charging chakra became a task on it's own. He prepared to engage.*

_-HINAMORI, was atap the tower looking down at Ken. To Ken she would be a seemingly useless little girl but Hinamori was a lieutenant to Aizen as such she had to bear to be the leader of her division when Aizen 'died'. She looked at ken walking towards her from within the tower, she would emerge sooner or later. The towers were designed to locate where the person is who the chakra drain is being drained by.-_

(-As ken made his way towards the chakra tower his initial judgment of one person would be wrong. The person in front of him would be in fact Renji. Despite the chakra towers suppressing there towers this guy gave Captain Kyōraku a run for his money so the court guards sent two lieutenants to guard which tower he was sent two. It was luck that they sent him to the tower Hinamori was at. He stood there watching as ken came closer and closer to the tower, His hand on his zanpakuto as he waited.-)

_-Hinamori turned to her left smiling sweetly at Renji-kun... she knew that the only reason why this guy gave kyoraku a challenge is because Kyoraku was lazy. But she still was cautious.-_

"He uses plants Abarai-kun... But I'm sure your Zabimaru can cut them to ribbons"

_-Hinamori said with a smile... she then returned her gaze to the front, Ken was nearing.-_

(Thanks for coming I acutally wanted 2 people to fight Ken)

(No prob, I just went to the one that would give the most trouble.)

"Plant's......no wonder why Captain Kyoraku had a hard time. He probably kept talking about flowers then actually fighting."

(-His grip tightened on his blade as he got closer. A smirk came on his face wondering what his plants could actually do.-)

"I'll cut them down to the roots if need be."

*Ken continued on until he has about 10 feet from the opposition. The individual was apparently supressing his energy, seeing how Ken couldn't sense it at all. Regardless of the fact however, Ken learned to not take a single opponent lightly, let alone one he knew nothing about.

*"Let's cut to the chase" Ken said as he held his right hand out to the side. It pulsated before his scythe was summoned in a small gust that caused his hair and shirt to slightly flair upward. Ken intended to waste no time in attempts of getting rid of the pest before him, but his power was limited at the time. He couldn't allow them knowledge however that he was affected. He had to hold steady. He had to bluff.*

"Move.."

"Or else what?"

(-He fully unsheathed his zanpakuto as he got into a stance. he toke note of the scythe and knew that it had to have something special. What that was he had no idea but he would take note any changes it would make.-)

"I'll move you."

*Ken said pointing his scythe toward him. He held the handle tightly as he starred down the red haired soul reaper. From his past experiences, he learned that soul reapers intiate techniques similar to jutsu by citing incantations. Ken would be weary of this once the fight intiated. He awaited the reaper to make his first move. He knew he wouldn't take kindly to ken's words.*

"How about I'll just mow you down then."

(-With that Renji took off with his blade at his side and with the help of shunpo he would appear on both sides of Ken aiming to slice him both horizontally and vertically at the same time. Ken may be surprised from this sudden burst of speed but if he retaliated he'd be on his guard encase he had to parry his scythe if need be.-)

"Speed.."

*Ken said softly as he held his scythe on an angle. He would parry the two horizontal slashes with the hilt and the verticle slash from above with the blade itself. The strength of the shinigami was indeed intense, but Ken expected as much. He would parry the blade of the soul reaper upward, using the speed of which he blocked to catch the opponent of guard. After which Ken intended to follow up with a punch of ground shaking potential. Ken may be chakra strifled, but his super strength was still present. Although Ken's strike was both point blank and relatively quick, he expected the shingami to dodge the attack and follow up with a counter. He was ready to move and act accordingly.*

(Next time... post ONCE then wait for me I had something planned for Ken but now I'll have to wait until later.)

_-Hinamori while Renji was distracting Ken had HIGH kido prowess as she was the lieutenant of Aizen herself as such she had high intelligence in that aspect while Ken was hopefully being busy with Renji's physical assualt Hinamori would be reciting an extremely lengthy incantation that wound bind him where he stood so Renji can sever him limb from limb and the would be done with it, the ground shook and Hinamori murmured...-_

"Gochūtekkan "

_-when she finished instantly (people dont take that word seriously) several iron pillars would erupt from the ground connected by chains that would hopefully trap ken in the middle while this was going on hinamori recited another incantaiton.-_

(-Using the momentum that caused for his slashes to be parried Renji would use that to push himself higher into the air avoiding his punch. He felt the force that he had behind it and could tell that he was a strong opponent. Suddenly Hinamori's kido triggered, and hopefully he distracted ken long enough for the kido to take place. If so then renji would use his speed again this time going into three different renji's aiming to chop him up to pieces. And for a dead check...-)

"Shakkahō!"

(-From his hand shot a mid scale blast of destructive reiatsu traveling towards ken at a point blank range. UNLIKE Hinamori renji sucked at kido and only knew the basic but this spell was the one he ad the best control over. he aimed to not only chop up Ken but also incinerate him as well.-)

*The well set up team attack would no doubt catch a shinobi of guard, thus marking his swift end. However, Ken was not just any shinobi. The attack erupting from the ground as swiftly as it did prevented Ken from escaping by most means, but not all. The kido spell-bounded Ken, en-locking him in between the pillars chains. The following slashes from the red haired shinigami would also connect, slicing to ribbons what stood before him.

Luckily however, Ken managed to initiate a clone primitive substitution technique, performing handsigns invisible to the untrained shinobi eye. He knew he could not move his body out of the way of the attack, but he could move his fingers. The clone substitute, once it was slashed, would explode the instant ken uttered the words "Katsu.." in frenzy of epic proportions. The entrials of the explosion being fierce chakra, great force, and pollen, all of which would hopefully catch the sparatic, unsuspecting shinigami. Ken would normally never reduce himself to such tactics, but at the time, he had little options.*

"..Huff..Huff.."

*Ken would relocate amoungst the buildings and houses that are constructed around the tower, apparently oblivious that he was being double teamed. HE was used to soul reapers and their impressive spells, and planned to match them with one of his own. He performed several lightning fast one handed signs, being forever attentive, with his scythe in his right hand.*

-No doubt Renji's untrained Shakaho would disentegrate all the harmful chemicals that would be released by Ken's clone explosion but the pollen that was released did go unnoticed by Hinamori after all she was a good ways away. After the smoke cleared she realized this guy was gone, she gasped and flash stepped towards Renji-

"Be careful renji-kun... he can fight from long distances."

-Hinamori knew that Ken used plants but using THESE plants from soul society that were made out of spiritual energy would greatly tap kens chakra even more so she didn't have that to worry about, after she finished her incantation she pressed her hands to the ground and symbols began to get etched on to the ground and trees around her hopefully unknown to ken-

"Long distances... well that just made it interesting."

(-Renji would flash step to the skies as he looked around trying to search for any sudden movements he may make. The fact that he had to use such tactics made him despise these ninjas even more. They almost functioned how the stealth squad do but with more tricks. He stood there in the open hopefully drawing him out into the open.-)
