Byakuya's Pov
This guy, Kurosaki Ichigo, as our blades crossed, I could tell he had considerably become stronger since the last time we met, and the shock waves created by our Zanpakuto's colliding attested to this fact.
As I used shunpo to take some distance, I remarked that he did the same.
"Interesting... You were able to master shunpo as well. However-" As was speaking he interrupted me.
"You're really taking it easy, aren't you?" He asked as he put his gigantic sword on his shoulders.
"You've been casually analyzing my strength. Is it really a good idea to only do that?" He smiled. "Aren't you going to attack me?"
I feel like, he is becoming far too arrogant, what can a simple human accomplish in such a period? I believe having entirely removed all powers given to him by Rukia, how is he even standing before me? Could it perhaps be his brother? the one by the name of Kurosaki Daiki?
"You haven't been able to scratch me once! Can it be that this is... the best you can do?"
As he said looking at me in the eyes, I realized... perhaps, have I looked down on him too much? After all, if his brother could attain the level he did by whatever means then... the boy before me becoming just as strong is also a possibility.
"Hurry up and use Ban-kai!" Kurosaki Ichigo urged me. "Earlier you said that you were going to kill me. And then execute Rukia with your own hands."
"So?" I finally asked.
"I don't like it!" He is expression changed, becoming one of opposition. "I am going to use everything I have, to defeat you!"
"I'll beat you until you have no strength left!"
"To execute your own sister with your own two hands? What a joke!"
"No matter what reasons you have, under no whatever circumstances, don't ever say that in front of Rukia again." His tone was grave and his visage serious.
"Use your Ban Kai! I will destroy it!"
"Then I will take you to Rukia and make you cry while apologizing to her!" he pointed his sword toward me.
Is that supposed to be a sign? Is this his way to provocate me?
"What a shallow taunt." his words didn't affect me the slightest. "No matter what you say, I will not change my mind about Rukia's fate... and yours."
"You want me to use Ban kai? Don't forget your place brat." this kid was seemingly becoming too comfortable. Perhaps he believes that the level of strength he attained warranted him to act such.
"It's a thousand years too early for you to become worthy to die by my Ban Kai." I announced.
"SCATTER... SENBONZAKURA." I voiced my Zanpakuto's release command, and it did just that.
Senbonzakura's blade separates into a thousand tiny, slender blade fragments, which flew away from the hilt, leaving only the sword's handle in my hand. Because the blades are too small to be seen normally, they reflect light in such a way as to resemble cherry blossom petals.
As I swung the handle, commanding all the blades to attack him, he also moved. A sword slash, but with so much power and speed that I couldn't react. It really caught me off guard. The sword slash produced a flash of light that injured my left arm, letting a gigantic sword mark on the ground.
"What was that flash of light...? Was that the ability of your Zanpakuto...?" I asked. "Kurosaki Ichigo!"
"Yeah. At the instant of the slash... It absorbs my spiritual energy and releases highly condensed spiritual energy at the tip of the blade. Magnifying the slash attack and then flying forward."
"That's Zangetsu's special power." So that was what it was. But that description sounds rather familiar.
"I've never been able to do an aimed shot before. Until today, I didn't even know how I made that happen."
"The name of that attack is Getsuga Tensho."
"I will say it again, Kuchiki Byakuya. Fight me with your Ban Kai!" He said, reversing his zanpakuto, making the tips slice through the ground like it was made of butter.
"I will definitely defeat you!"
"Getsugo Tensho? What an arrogant name!" Truly it was. "So bet it." But I will grant his wish. "Since you so strongly desire my Ban Kai. Witness it with your eyes and remember it Well." I raised my right hand, just in front of me, sword upside down, and... Let go of the sword.
"Don't worry. You won't regret it." I said as the sword was falling. "Before you can do that, you will most certainly be rendered into dust in front of me."
The sword phases into the ground, as though it were a pool of water. Energy ripples expand out, turning the surrounding area dark, and within seconds, two rows of a thousand giant blades rose from the ground. I could see his shocked face, as those thousand swords scatter, and countless flying blades started flying around.
"BAN KAI... SENBONZAKURA KAGEYOSHI!"
I commanded the blades mentally to attack him. He did his best, moving around with shunpo while using his special sword attack to disperse or divert some of my blades, but it was all in vain as he was quickly overwhelmed. He soon found himself on his knee, powerless.
"hah...hah" He was breathless with blood running down his head. "Damn... I thought I had it."
"But, I guess not. It's only logical that I can't beat a Ban Kai using Shikai after all." He was trying his best to stand up.
"Choose your words carefully, Brat." I advised. "You sound as if you have acquired Ban Kai."
"Yeah... that's exactly what I was implying, Kuchiki Byakuya!"
I couldn't believe it, a being such as him couldn't possibly achieve Ban Kai. Even more in a matter of days. That's impossible. But his confident smile and the spiritual pressure he exuded, all those factors told me that...
"Ban Kai... Tenza Zangetsu."
And I was right, he really somehow achieved Ban Kai without even being a real shinigami. As the eruption of energy accompanying his transformation finally faded, I could see it.
Did what this kid, Kurosaki Daiki said really become true? No, I can't accept it; no I won't accept the realization of such prophecy!

Timeskip- A month
'The time shrift was really something huh' Daiki thought. from his perspective, Ichigo and the others just went and came back a while after. If he remembers canon there was a time shift that sent them back in the past or something.
It's been a month since Ichigo and companies came back as Rukia was saved and their conflict with the Soul Society was resolved. Daiki also had some time to train in the application of his Quincy powers, accustomed to using Re-Taekwondo and his eyes of Chronos. He also learned some Zanjutsu but after some time he stopped and focused on kido. And truly it was hard.
From what he heard from Tessai and Urahara he processed a high amount of talent for kido since he could control his spiritual energy with ease.
'That's probably related to the fact that my spiritual energy also has the characteristics of mana, which is an easily malleable form of energy." He concluded.
With that and his eyes of Chronos to accelerate his thought processing speed to some degree, he was able to learn hado and bakudo to the intermediate level, but anything more than that would take a considerable amount of time and effort. His name was not Urahara after all... And that was considering he was reached by the bests of the bests.
"Well, it's already an achievement that I was able to do this much in so little time." Daiki was still content with the result.
"But I really wanna go on an adventure, so I learning more will have to wait."
As he thought, He whore a suit... Yes, a suit, a black suit even, as he made his way outside of the house. He already told everyone that he would be unreachable for a while.
You may be wondering what kind of father would allow that? Even more, as he should be going to school right now... Well, a shinigami father. The same father that let his kid battle all kinds of opponents in canon and absents when he wanted without warning... Yeah, this kind of father.
So since nobody was at home right now, he packed his stuff as he put everything he could potentially need in his shadow. Confirming that he was ready, he was absorbed by his shadow that had expended, before he reappeared far away, in a desolate place. Far away from any civilization.
"Here should be fine." As he finished speaking, he extended his right hand forward and the air rippled, no more like space itself rippled, absorbing his right hand before he twisted it and a portal of pure darkness manifested.
This was what he choose as the reward for his rare achievement "Master Key" While the name was pretty misleading, this skill was a powerful one even if it is not combat-oriented.
It allowed the user to create a portal that leads to different realities and parallel words. He could return to a world he previously visited, but could also be completely random. He wouldn't even try it if he wasn't a spiritual lifeform. Only God what kind of worlds he could fall on.
If he switched into his spiritual form he wouldn't need to breathe or eat anymore, most poisons wouldn't work on him, and even his base status resistance was pretty good... that and the fact that he had the shadow monarch template, his monstrous level of spiritual strength, he was confident he would be able to survive long enough to come back to his own world if nothing not too absurd came his way...
'Let's not rise a red flag.' He came out of his thoughts and switched to his spiritual form, his clothes transformed, now he was wearing a Shihakusho, the black kimono worn by most if not all Shinigami. Daiki took a last look at his System.

"I am as ready as I can currently be." He said to himself and took a decisive step forward, entering the portal.
"Killer Move! Serious Series... Serious Punch" This was the first Daiki could hear after passing through the portal Letting him totally stunned.
"...Huh?" he muttered as his vision was momentarily obstructed by a bright light.

Author Note:
It seems like people are a little confused about what happened, so here let me explain.
Basically, there was a time skip that is not really a time skip, you guys forgot that there was a time shift that sent Ichigo and Company to the past while they were in Soul Society, From Daiki, Urahara, Tessai, and the others in the human word's perspective they were gone just for a few Minute or Hour at most.
I didn't want to just repeat canon and show you the totality of the Soul Society arc so I directly skipped a few days from Ichigo and those in Society's perspective to his fight again Byakuya as we followed Byakuya's Pov. Then I switched back to the 3rd Pov where we followed Daiki and that was a month after Ichigo and the others came back.
I hope Y'all understand, perhaps the confusion is due to my incompetence as a writer... Sorry for that
