The wind. The fire. The arrows
Chapter 1: the Three Musketeers
"Hello" asks a man wearing a hat and using a walking stick looking down at the three kids in a crater, when one of the kids starts waking up. A flicker appears at the hat wearing man's left side where a woman appears with long purple hair.
"So, who are they" asks the purple haired woman.
"No idea but one of them is waking up, so we can asks" says the hatted man as he gazes at the three children, one boy who has pale blue hair, a girl who has purple hair. "Hey Yoruichi look I think a girl who could be your daughter" says the hatted man teasingly.
"Oh shut up, Urahara" says Yoruichi as she looks at the girl. "But you are right he looks a lot like me" she mutters.
"Argh, where the hell am I?" asks the last of the three kids in the crater, a kid who has spiky blonde hair and whisker marks.
"Oh, hello, the names Urahara and this is my friend Yoruichi are you all right?" asks Urahara.
"I'm laying in a bloody crater what the hell do you think," says the blonde in return. "Anyway I'm Uzumaki Naruto," he says, as he looks around where he sees Akiyo and Rozu to his left and right. "Shit Rozu! Akiyo! Are you two alright?"
"Argh, damn my head" says Akiyo as he sits up.
"Yeah, same my heads pounding" says Rozu as she just lies there.
"Well if that's the problem then I can have Tessai-san heal you," says Urahara, after he said a big guy came over and healed them in fifteen minutes.
"SO, let's go to our store to give you guys some rest and to talk about some things" says Urahara as he starts to walk away.
"Come on I'll help you guys up," says Yoruichi as she helps Rozu up, while Tessai helps up Akiyo and Naruto up.
"Let's go quickly before a hollow appears and decides to come here," says Tessai as he (Shunpo's) to the Urahara shop, with Yoruichi close behind.
"Question" asks Naruto as he, Akiyo and Rozu are sitting around a table with Urahara, Yoruichi and Tessai "He" pointing at Tessai "Said something about hollows what the hell is a hollow?"
"Hollows are evil white masked spirits formed when a restless human ghost, is overcome with negative emotions and a maddening hunger 'spirit energy' "explains Urahara as he sips a cup of tea.
"So Hollows are evil so what do you do exorcist them then" asks Akiyo sarcastically.
"Well yes, by using a Zanpakuto to kill a hollow you can exorcist the hollow and send it to Soul society" says Yoruichi.
"What's Soul society?" asks Rozu who has been quiet during the conversation.
"Soul Society is the home Shinigami, who exorcists Hollows in the living world," says Urahara.
"Ok" replies Rozu shortly.
"How does one become a Shinigami?" asks Naruto getting looks from Akiyo and Rozu.
"Well to become a Shinigami you have to be dead, and have a lot of spirit energy," explains Urahara
"Would Chakra work?" says Naruto to the rest of them.
"What's chakra?" Kisuke Urahara
"Chakra's the embodiment of Yang energy and Yin energy, by putting them together you create Chakra' explains Rozu as she put her and out and after a bit sparks of electricity are shooting of her hand.
'This has a completely different feel to it than spirit energy' thought Urahara as he stares at the electricity flying off her hand.
"It feels different to what I'm use to" says Kisuke.
"That's probably because it's Yin & Yang energies put together but, I take it that spiritual energy is Yin energy. Which is probably why you don't recognize it?" says Naruto.
"I would like to become a Shinigami," says Naruto.
"Really you know that you'll have to die, correct" says Kisuke getting a nod from Naruto, turning to Akiyo and Rozu "What about you two?"
"I'd like to as well," says Akiyo.
"Ditto" Says Rozu.
"Very well then let's get you guy's ready" says Urahara as he gets up and walks over o a mat and lifts up to reveal a ladder going down. "Follow me"
When they get down there Kisuke hits Naruto, Akiyo and Rozu with the bottom of his walking stick allowing him to release there spirits from there bodies.
"What the hell did you just do," says Naruto.
"I released your spirits from your body, since this is the only way for you to become Shinigami" explains Kisuke as he walks off "Follow me" and they follow him to where Kisuke was going after a little bit off walking they end up a deep hole (the hole used when Ichigo regains his Shinigami powers).
"Get in the hole" says Kisuke.
"Why?" says Naruto in return.
"It will help," says Kisuke simply.
"Fine" says Naruto a she jumps into the hole hitting the bottom, looking up he's surprised that the hole was pretty deep.
"So how does this work?" asks Naruto
"Well you probably didn't notice but there's a chain in your chest" says Kisuke.
"What really" says Naruto as he looks at his chest seeing the chain protruding from it "Well I'll be damned"
"We'll begin immediately," says Kisuke after he said that pain started to rack Naruto immediately "You have 48 hrs"
(25 hrs later)
After 25 hrs was done a huge amount of spirit energy gushed out of the hole surprising Kisuke, Tessai, Yoruichi, Akiyo and Rozu from their card game.
"What the hell is happening?" says Rozu as the ground starts to shake.
"I think Naruto's done now," says Kisuke as he walks over to the hole to peek inside when suddenly a form flu out the hole smashing into the ground causing a dust cloud to cover the form. When the dust disappears they see Naruto there with a hollow mask shaped like a kitsune, wielding a Katana like other Shinigami.
"Hollowfication, but he's never met a hollow before," says Yoruichi in shock.
"Um I think I understand what happened" Akiyo says as he stares at Naruto's form.
"How?" asks Kisuke as he takes his eyes off Naruto and puts them on Akiyo.
"Well, I guess it's because of Kyuubi," says Akiyo
"What's this Kyuubi?" says Kisuke paying full attention to what Akiyo is saying.
"The Kyuubi is a being of pure chakra, which means it can be sealed inside people. By doing that they turn the people holding Bijuu into Jinchuriki or living human sacrifice" explains Rozu "Since in some cases Kyuubi is thought of as a demon as well as practically being a beast of pure negative emotion, I guess when you turned Naruto into a Shinigami he lost the Kyuubi and it turned into a hollow, otherwise I have know idea"
"Makes sense" says Yoruichi when suddenly they hear a cracking sound coming from Naruto, when they look they see his mask breaking, then shattering revealing his face to full view.
"How do you feel Naruto," says Kisuke as he stares at Naruto.
"Powerful" replies Naruto simply as he sits down "God doing that was annoying as all hell.
"How's Kyuubi" asks Rozu as she speaks up.
"Ah he's gone. Can't sense him at all" replies Naruto.
"Well if you gain new power, I guess you lose the old one," says Akiyo simply. `
"Yeah I guess," says Naruto "Now Akiyo your turn"
"Ah fine, oh since me and Rozu have been 'introduced' to Kyuubi's chakra I might also get hollowfied," he says before he jumps down the hole
After 22 hrs the same process happened to Akiyo with that he also got hollowfied wielding a Katana as well
Then it was Rozu turn, which was interesting since she was only in there for 16 hrs but when she came out we found out something interesting.
"So where's my Zanpakuto?" asks Rozu as her hollow mask disappeared.
"Truthfully no idea, but I'll see if I can find out, come over here" says Kisuke as Rozu walks over, he tries to sense her spiritual pressure when he suddenly realized why she doesn't have a Zanpakuto. "Shit, I've realized why you don't have a Zanpakuto, it's because you're a Quincy" at there questioning looks he explains. "A Quincy is a human I with the ability to use spirit energy in the form of bow and arrows" he explains "And your in luck since I happen to know a Quincy who lives in Karakura town. He owns the Karakura main hospital, so I can introduce you guys later. Now I should call the Visords since the three of you have been Hollowfied" he says as he (Shunpo's) out the room.
"Ok so let's start our training," says Naruto as he unsheathes his Katana, followed by Akiyo.
"This feels weird since I'm use to a Tanto" says Naruto as he swings the sword around "Hey Yoruichi you know how to use a sword right?"
"Yes I do but I prefer hand-to-hand combat, so I can teach you guys Taijutsu, but if you want complete sword training you'll have to ask Kisuke.
"What about Tessai?" asks Rozu
"I'll teach you Kido if you would like" says Tessai.
"What's Kido?" Asks Akiyo
"Kido is our form of chakra techniques from your home," explains Yoruichi
"Awesome, then that means we won't be stuck in close range" says Naruto "What type of Kido are there?"
"There is Hado, which is offensive and Bakudo which trap opponents," explains Tessai.
"Cool, when can we start?" says Rozu with interest.
"Soon after we figure out a training program we can then start to teach since you," Tessai says pointing to Rozu "Has to learn from a Quincy so you can use your bow and arrows which Quincies specializes in".
"I'm baaack," drawls Kisuke as he walks up to the group "The Visords will be sending our friend Kensei to help you guys with your inner hollows. So here's the plan the I'll send a message to my Quincy friend and you guys will go visit, so Rozu can learn how to use your Quincy powers while I teach Naruto and Akiyo how to use there Zanpakuto. Yoruichi will teach the three of you how to fight in close quarters and Tessai will teach you guys Kido, is that acceptable"
"Hai" says Naruto, Rozu and Akiyo, while Yoruichi and Tessai nod their heads.
"Good now let's have dinner and we can continue tomorrow" says Urahara a she climbs up the ladder
(Next Day after breakfast)
"Ahh, that was a great breakfast, so let's begin with Kido since if you want to use Zanpakuto spirit attacks you'll have to learn how to control your Reiryoku" explains Kisuke as they stand in the training area underneath the shop. "After we get the basics down I'll send the three of you over to my Quincy friend, ah before I think there are two things I should tell you, one my Quincy's friend name is Ryuken Ishida remember that, second I'll be making you a proper gigai (Faux body) since your bodies are of no use anymore so you can hide your Reiryoku" says Kisuke
"Ok as long as it keeps us alive I don't mind," says Naruto getting nods in agreement form his friends.
"Excellent so come back up when you get the basics down" says Kisuke as he disappears up the ladder leaving Tessai alone to teach three kids how to use Kido.
"So let's begin with Hado #1 Sho (Thrust) as the name suggest it is a technique that 'thrusts' or pushes target away it can be used in some cases if your trapped to get out of the before mentioned 'trap'. Now before i let you try it out i say the incantation out loud for you to hear, also when you use Kido when you say the incantation the technique is more powerful." explains Tessai as he lifts his point his index finger at a rock and mutters
"(Push away monster in the dark, thrust away darkness and reveal light, thrust into the demon's way Hado #1 Sho!)" As a force is released from the tip of his finger at the rock before a hole is punctured through it.
"Now Rozu you try," says Tessai politely as he steps back.
"Ok so it's. (Push away monster in the dark, thrust away darkness and reveal light, thrust into the demon's way Hado #1 Sho!) Correct" asks Rozu who gets a nod from Tessai.
"Alrighty then (Push away monster in the dark, thrust away darkness and reveal light, thrust into the demon's way Hado #1 Sho!)' incants Rozu as she releases her version at a large boulder not even making a scratch.
"Good but too less of power it's a basic technique so you should probably use more spirit energy. Now try again," says Tessai.
"Alright. (Push away monster in the dark, thrust away darkness and reveal light, thrust into the demon's way Hado #1 Sho!)" She incants as she releases another, Sho at a boulder near the last one making a small hole in it.
"Better now, Akiyo your turn" says Tessai with a nod s he looks at Akiyo.
"Awesome, so let's get this over with. (Push away monster in the dark, thrust away darkness and reveal light, thrust into demon's way, Hado #1 Sho!)" Shouts Akiyo as he points his finger at a boulder, which cracks.
"Oh well then I guess it's my turn then" says Naruto as he steps up and points at a boulder "(Push away monster in the dark, thrust away darkness and reveal light, thrust into demon's way, Hado #1 Sho!)" he incants as a large amount of kinetic force is released cracking the boulder.
"Good keep practicing, until you can do it without a incantation. Now before you ask yes you can do any form of Kido with out a incantation, example, I'll show you a Hado without a incantation (Hado #4 Byakurai)" Says Tessai as he releases a bolt of lightning at a boulder piercing through the boulder and heating around the hole that was made. Seeing the looks of wonder on the three kids face he allows a small smile to go to his face.
"So who's hungry?" asks Tessai seeing the faces on Naruto, Akiyo, and Rozu he's pretty sure he's making a good decision.
(After lunch)
"Ok so now it's my turn, but since the three of you guys were or are originally ninja's, that means that I don't have to worry about stealth or assassination right" says Yoruichi getting nods in reply. "Good, then I should just have to teach you (Shunpo) and then you can really just focus on is Kido and swordsmanship or In Rozu's case Quincy skills".
"Ok so to do (Shunpo) you have to release spirit energy from your feet but also layer your body in a fine layer of Reiryoku, so that you don't lose your feet from under you" explains Yoruichi.
And done so here's the first chapter of my Bleach X Naruto fanfic.
