The Soul Within [Private]

Unlocking Shikai:

Yato sat in his barracks room with his Zanpakuto in his lap. Today, his morning training regime had him working on the concept of Jinzen, which was when one places their sword over their lap, takes a meditative pose, and forces their mind to become one with the Zanpakutō. In this form, one can call out the true form of the powers of their Zanpakutō. He meditated for what felt like hours when suddenly he was pulled seemingly into a trance, and then into the blade of his Zanpakuto. Looking around, he was in a massive mountain range on a dark night lit only by the light of the massive full moon. Turning around, he saw what appeared to be a temple lit by black and white flames. He approached it slowly before a being appeared at the top of the stairs looking down to him. "It would seem you have made it. Its about time, I was afraid you would never make it to this place." The voice was somewhat raspy and old sounding. Finally, its wielder stepped into the light of the moon and Yato could see his face.

The man looked to be in his sixties with pure white hair, thick white eyebrows and a thick white mustache. His face was angular and his features sharp. He wore only a pair of white hakama pants with what looked like a copy of Yato's Zanpakutō by his side. "You know me? I know you are my blade's inner spirit, I have come to ask for your name." Yato spoke with a tone of both respect but also an underlying curiosity, it was their first interaction after all. The old man's body was covered in scars but all in all it looked to be in amazing shape for one who seemed as old as he did. The man clicked his tongue, "Of course I know you! I have been with you all this time, but only now do I feel you are ready to know my name. For from now on, when you call for me I shall be there, and together we will defend our allies and slaughter our enemies. We shall be the warriors under the moonlight. My name is..." With that, Yato was returned to the real world, standing with his Zanpakuto held pinted straight in front of him when he called the name he had heard his spirit say, "Slaughter, TENGETSU!" His blade was then coated in an intense light as it changed shape, no longer the straight edged chokuto, but now a nearly six foot long broadsword. He had finally done it, his Shikai was unlocked!
