Hey everyone. This is my fourth fanfic. I'm going to be focusing on this more than the others, so expect weekly updates (:

Naruto was blinded as multiple flashes of light suddenly appeared around him. He was killed by an unknown assassin. He knew he shouldn't have trusted anyone, but he let his guard down when he was sleeping.

The flashes of light materialised into monsters with different white masks and huge holes in their chests. Naruto could tell that they were all enemies, as they all looked at him. A hungry look in their eyes, as they dashed towards him.

'I don't care if I die again; I have no friends no family. I will never be able to trust again.' Naruto thought with his eyes closed, ready for the unimaginable pain that he would experience when he is attacked. But a sudden figure appeared in front of him. He had snow white hair spiked up, wearing black robes and with a sword in his hand. Not to mention he was the same height as Naruto.

"Sit upon the frozen heavens, Hyourinmaru!" Naruto's saviour shouted, as he proceeded to slash and hack away at those vile beasts. Just seconds after he appeared, all those creatures were slaughtered by the single being.

"Are you alright? I'm a Shinigami, and my name is Hitsugaya Toushiro, and I'm the captain of the tenth division in the Gotei 13." Toushiro said.

"Yeah, I'm alright. Name is Uzumaki Naruto. What were those things that tried to attack me?" Naruto asked.

"Those creatures are called Hollows. They eat anything with high enough Reiatsu. Say, how long were you dead to attract so many hollows?" Toushiro asked

"About an hour, I was assassinated by my own allies, or should I call them enemies." Naruto stated.

"An hour?! Hold on; let me get a reiatsu reading. Rangiku, give me a reiatsu reading on the new soul near me. after a few minutes, Hitsugaya heard Rangiku's reply. It's incredible Captain Hitsugaya! Showing a reading of 847. Your's is only 1256, but you've been trained. I wonder, we should recruit him as a Shinigami right away sir!

"Uzumaki-san, do you wish to be a Shinigami? If you do, you have to endure 5 years of Seireitei academy and pledge loyalty to our leader, Yamamoto-sama."

"Sure, but don't betray me. Lead the way to this 'Seireitei' place." Naruto said. "Meanwhile I need to do something, can you please carry me to Seireitei, I won't be conscious." Naruto said as his head dropped, showing him drifting into unconsciousness.

"Troublesome soul." Hitsugaya picked up Naruto and then with his sword, made a portal to go to Seireitei.

Meanwhile, in Naruto's mindscape

"Show yourself furball, I know you're there. I've felt your presence within me ever since the hollows attacked me."

"Well, well, someone's a smart cookie. But don't think I'm all that evil. I shall help you in Seireitei academy, think of this as repaying you, as I was the reason you got assassinated. However, be careful. My presence may force your body to…change." Kyuubi said as he pushed Naruto back into consciousness before Naruto could question him.

Waking up, Naruto turned to see two lines surrounding a red carpet, and an old man with a heavy looking staff smiling to the boy.

"Good to see you're awake. I hear from Hitsugaya-Taichou that your reiatsu is quite high for someone of your age, and that you want to be enlisted in the academy. Do you wish to become one?" Yamamoto said

"Yes, Yamamoto-Sama." Naruto said

"Thank you Naruto. We now have yet another excellent Shinigami-to-be. I shall make the arrangements for the academy. You will be skipped to the third grade, as the first three years are just basic knowledge. Ukitake-Taichou can explain to you about the academy."

"Hello Naruto. There are six years of which you will be attending the academy, but because you are starting your third year, I will explain what you will be doing for this year." He said. "The third year is learning basic Kido spells and also Zanjutsu, which is sword fighting, also Hakuda, which is hand-to-hand combat. You will be assessed in these three major classes every three months, just to check if the students are up to date with their abilities."

"Hitsugaya-Taichou, please go to the academy and sort out all the necessary paperwork for Naruto to be a student." Yamamoto said. "Dismissed."
