Gaining a Zanpakuto

*Akarui sensing the two chakra networks forming as one* Now you must say the release command for her shikai.*

*Touketsu Hara would then turn into he zanpakuto from as Retsu begin to say the release command.*

Freeze all that is bathed in you frozen glow Touketsu Hara

*The blade in Retsu's hand would then transform into a long light blue broad sword with small spike around the hilt which seemed to be not connected to the blade.*

well then retsu congratulations on making it this far once you think you've gotten shikai down then you can work on bankai. *akarui then transported the two of them out of Retsu's mind and into the real world*

*Retsu would look at the long blade before turning and bowing to Akarui.*

Thank you for all of you help.

*Just then the ring on Retsu's finger would then begin to glow with a large amount of power. After the light stopped Retsu would then look down at his hand and see his ring around his finger would have a new orb on it.*

Seems to me with this new power has gotten you a new ring as well

Yes so it seems.

*Retsu would stare at the ring for a few minutes this never really happening to him ever before. Although after a moment he would then snap out of his daze the then turn toward Akarui.*

Well this is goodbye for now.

*Retsu would then disappear from the area in a flurry of ice and snow.*
