Hey Peoples this is another fanfiction from Nejilovesyaoi, but this time I am co writing with Pet Darkling. So this is a Naruto and Bleach Crossover and it is most definitely AU.

Disclaimer: We definitely don't own Bleach or Naruto because if we did Oh the things we would do. So, we hope you like this somewhat strange fic, and please read and review.

Chapter One

--In the forest outside Konohagakure—

"Byakugan!" Neji cried as he activated his Kekegenkai. He searched through the trees looking for the object of his training. He was training for search and destroy mission, and he was using his Byakugan to locate Hinata. He jumped into the trees as he found his cousin's hiding spot.

Before Neji could get to his cousin he heard the screech of a messenger hawk and looked up to see it circling above his head. He deactivated his Byakugan and said, "Hinata, we have to see Hokage-sama." He waited for his cousin to reach him before heading off towards the village.

When they reached the Hokage Tower, they headed toward the Hokage's office. They entered the Hokage's office to see Naruto, Ino, Kakashi, Sakura, Shino, and Kiba already standing around the Hokage's desk. "Right, now that you're all here, I have something very important to discuss with you," Tsunade stated in an unusually serious tone.

"Come on Tsunade-baa-chan. Just tell us what it is already!" Naruto whined. Neji rolled his eyes at the antics of the hyper blonde.

"Shut up brat. Now, what I was trying to say was that some new creature has entered the area and has started attacking villages very close to our own. Two of these creatures have been spotted in the forest outside our village, and I would like for the eight of you to go and intercept them. Destroy whatever they are and return here when you are done and let me know of anything you find out about these creatures while you are out," Tsunade explained to the group of shinobi she had assembled. "Dismissed!" she yelled.

Everyone left and set off towards the forest to intercept the mysterious creatures that were threatening their village. Soon, as the group of Shinobi made it to the center of the forest, they heard a crashing noise coming from a clearing to their right. They headed towards that sound and stopped in the limbs of the trees above the clearing. What they saw were two huge creatures with white masks and holes with broken chains in their chests.

Kakashi silently motioned for the team to move forward, and the eight shinobi moved out to ambush the two creatures. Four blurs were seen flying towards the first creature, and four more were seen moving towards the second. Neji burst out of the trees with Naruto, Kiba and Ino and jumped towards the creature in front of him. Neji grasped a Kunai and pulled it out of his pouch in anticipation of attacking the beast before him. He made contact with the arm of the creature and made a huge gash in its arm. He pulled back to see that it seemed to have no affect on the creature before him. He saw the other three make similar gashes on its other limbs, and they too had no affect. Neji pushed off from the arm that was flailing around trying to hit the things that were currently on him. Neji jumped onto the creature's shoulder and decided to bring his kunai crashing down into the huge white mask on its face.

He jumped back as he saw the mask start to crack and fall away from the face. Slowly the body of the creature disintegrated. He looked towards the other group attacking the second creature and yelled, "Hit the creature in the mask! If the mask is damaged the creature dies!" The other group must have heard his advice because all at one time the four Ninja went straight for the mask and hit it with their weapons. The mask crack and the creature fell back and slowly disintegrated before their eyes.

When they returned to Tsunade's office Kakashi reported what happened. "When we were fighting the creatures, our attacks didn't seem to have any affect. But Neji discovered that if you destroy their masks they die. We still do not know what these things are, but we do know a way of killing them."

"Thank you Kakashi, and thank you all for your hard work today. Get some rest for now until we can figure out what to do to stop these things. Dismissed!" Tsunade said.

--In Karakura Town--

To the average person, the day would seem like any other. The local kids were all in school and the streets were quiet. But to Ichigo something was wrong. It had been a few days since the Hallows had been seen, which was rather unusual. Ichigo sat in his class and stared out into the city. As he drifted away from the lesson and into his own world Rukia pelted him in the back of the head with a piece of paper.

"What did you do that for?" he said as he swiveled around in his seat to face Rukia when he noticed that the room was completely empty except for himself, Rukia, Orihime, Chad, and Uryuu.

"I can't have you drifting off at a time like this. I need you to focus. I just received word from Hitsugaya- taichou that somewhere in the city there is a vortex opening to a previously unknown dimension."

"So what does that mean to us?" Ichigo asked slumping back into his chair.

"It means that you need to get off of your ass and come with us." Ichigo jumped out of his seat and turned towards the window. Standing in the window frame in full shinogami uniform was Renji. He hopped down and started to walk towards Rukia and Orihime. "Basically, since you all are the group with the most knowledge of the town we need you to come with us."

"If you don't mind me asking exactly why does the soul society need us to examine this vortex Rukia was speaking about?" Uryuu directed at Renji, but he was answered by Htsugaya.

"We need you because it seems that there is a large number of Hollows that are passing into the vortex and the last thing we need is for them to congregate in large masses in an unknown area." Hitsugaya said as he hopped down from the window and walked over words Uryuu.

"Alright, then I guess we don't have a choice then. Where are we supposed to start looking for this vortex thing?" Ichigo asked.

"According to the Research division, we should start our search over by the river," Hitsugaya responded.

"Alright then, lets head out. The sooner we find this thing the sooner I can get rid of Ichigo," Renji said as he passed Matsumoto and headed back out the window. "Well come on Kurosaki the sun is only up for so long."

And one by one they passed through the window and headed out towards the river. Not one of them knew exactly what they were looking for because the Research division had been vague on the details but they figured their best luck would be to look for a light source by the bridge. And well, they found it. Under the bridge was a whirlpool that spanned from bank to bank.

"Well ladies and gentlemen I do believe we have found our vortex," Renji said with a smile. "Now all we have to do is figure out if that is where the Hollows are going."

"Well I don't think that we will have to wait long, here comes one now," Chad said sounding slightly concerned.

All eight of them took their battle stances and prepared themselves for an attack. But the Hollow seemed to be preoccupied. They all watched as the Hollow landed on the bridge and contemplated a way into the vortex.

"I don't think it is looking for a fight with us," Orihime said.

"Possibly, but we shouldn't take any chances," Hitsugaya responded. And they all lunged for the attack. But as soon as they did the Hollow jumped into midair and when it landed it shattered the bridge dropping the group of them right into the center of the vortex.
