This is a Bleach Naruto Xover. None of the bleach characters are here though. The main pairing is SasuNaru and many more.
The war begins…
Footsteps echoes through the empty streets. A woman, blond and wearing a black tattered Kimono ran through the streets. She looked over her shoulder expecting to be being chased but saw no one. She slowed down until she came to a stop and leaned on an old decrepit building. Pulling herself together she readjusted her Zanpaktou on her hip. As he took a step forward she was stopped when an enormous spiritual pressure made itself known. Her breath hitched and her muscled tightened.
"Sabaku Temari… Your Zanpaktou's name is Teikiatsu. You were Vice captain to squad five before you defected. You really are a troublesome woman…" A voice drawled from above her. Her eyes darted up the rooftop across from her. It was a man wearing a white haori over a black Kimono. He held a cigarette in his mouth as he gazed uninterested down at the woman. "Are you going to tell me why you were out here in the middle of nowhere? Or are you going to be stubborn…"
Temari grit her teeth as she gripped her sword. Clenching her fist she yelled "I have nothing to say to a stooge." She unsheathed her blade and pointed it to him. "Prepare yourself! Shikamaru-Taicho!" Shikamaru sighed and took a drag of the cigarette. "Howl! Teikiatsu!" Her slender blade transformed into a huge fan. She picked up the heavy fan and swung it. "Demon wind!" A slicing blade of air was hurled at the lazy Shinigami. The blade hit the building causing it to collapse. Temari jumped onto the roof top of the building behind her.
"Tell me Temari…Have you ever seen me use my Zanpaktou?" Her body tensed when she heard the voice come from behind her.
"I can't say I have…you always made me do your work for you…" She gritted out as she turned to face her former captain sitting on the ledge of the roof. The way the sun was positioned she stood in his shadow.
"Then…" Shikamaru stood up, the sun at his back. He grabbed the hilt of his sword and unsheathed the long blade. "Let me introduce you to him." Holding the slim sword in front of him, the tip pointing to the ground. "Cloak yourself! Kagemura." He let it drop, but instead of imbedding itself in the solid rooftop, it sunk and disappeared into the shadow.
"What is this? A trick?" She picked up her fan again and prepared to swing.
"I'm sorry it had to come to this…I'll try not to kill you. After all you were my favorite."
"Shut up!" She let her rage show as she swung the fan, but her hand was stopped by a blade piercing her shoulder. In shock she dropped Teikiatsu. Letting her eyes follow the blade she found it protruding from the shadow she stood in. Shikamaru took a last huff of the cigarette before flicking it away. "Kage Nui." He muttered as several shadow blades shot from the ground and pierced Temari. He hung his head as he gave his sword a command to release her and return to its original form. "I really do hate how things have turned out…but there is no helping it now…" He walked over to the bloodied body and picked her up along with her sword. Shikamaru paused in mid step and looked into the distance for a second before continuing with the blond.
A couple of rooftops away
A man with a black hood and traditional Shinigami clothing stood next to another man with red hair and a sword on his back. "Gaara…" The hooded one spoke to the red head.
"I know Kankarou…" Gaara crossed his arms and started to walk away. "She won't give up the information…I can trust her. Right now…we need to find Kyuubi's whereabouts before Orochimaru…" He spoke quietly.
"Okay, Gaara-Taicho"
Sorry for the shortness but if I get enough review I'll update quickly and next chapter will have an explanation of what is going on.
