A/N: Hey... I just got back into fanfiction and i thought i'll have another go at it... I'm going to try improve it this time. Enjoy.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto and/or Bleach.

Naruto stood there with his left arm dangling

Naruto stood there with his left arm dangling. The Kyuubi chakra started forming in his right hand. He looked down regretting what he was about to do next. 'Sorry Sakura-Chan,' he thought as he then turned to face Sasuke.

Sasuke wanted to kill Naruto and move on as he charged his Chidori. They both pushed off at the same time.

"CHIDORI!" cried Sasuke.

"RASENGAN!" cried Naruto.

The two jutsus clashed as a huge explosion formed. They both were lying down with their last thoughts with them.

'Sorry…'

Kakashi arrived to the battle scene knowing that it was too late but by the time he arrived, Sasuke had already disappeared within the darkness. The rain was falling down hard as tears slowly dropped from Kakashi's visible eye. Naruto looked up at Kakashi.

"Kakashi…sensei.. I'm sorry… I didn't want it to be like this.." whispered Naruto.

Kakashi looked down on him with deep regret, that he taught Sasuke the Chidori and that he didn't get to spend time with his teacher's son. Kakashi wiped the tears and faced Naruto once more.

"Don't be sorry, I should be the one to apologize Naruto," said Kakashi. "I hate to say this Naruto but… any last words?" He forced to put a happy but teary smile as Naruto was passing away.

Naruto looked up and spoke with his last breath. "Tell Sakura-Chan I'm sorry… that I couldn't bring Sasuke back and to say goodbye to everyone I care about" and with that, he passed away.

Kakashi cried silently for a while in the rain and then he went down to pick his subordinate up. He walked slowly towards the forest, turned around to look at where the battle held and jumped off towards the trees.

"Holy SHIT!" yelled Naruto. He didn't ever believe in an after life. "Wow, this wasn't what I expected everything to be like… So I just dangle around forever?"

"No," came a dark voice from behind. "You come with me!"

Naruto turned around to see some type of creature he never saw before. He tried to call upon his own chakra but nothing happened. He yelled as he ran calling for help but at that moment, nine more hollows arrived and even a Menos Grande came.

'Holy…Shit' thought Naruto. To say he was scared was an understatement; he was frightened to the point where he would go beg Sasuke for help. They were about to devour him until a voice came out from above.

"Rise above the heavens… HYOUNIMARU!" yelled a kid-looking-guy not much older than Naruto with grey hair.

Naruto got even more scared as he didn't know was he helping him or helping the others. His fears were quickly washed away as he saw the big ice dragon freeze all the big monster-looking things.

Hitsugaya had killed the ten hollows in one slash from above before jumping off from the ground the kill the Menos Grande. After he was done he landed on the ground and walked towards Naruto.

"Who are you and what are you going to do to me?!" yelped Naruto as he was trying to back off.

"Don't worry, I'm a Shinigami and I'm here to send you to Soul Society or heaven as some of you might call it" said Hitsugaya and he saw that Naruto's face has calmed. "Before we go, I would like to ask you something and also explain a few things to you. How long was it since you died?"

"About fifteen minutes or so…"

Hitsugaya's eyes widened. To able to attract ten hollows and even a Menos Grande in fifteen minutes was honestly unheard of. He took out a device and spoke to it, "Hollows and Menos Grande neutralized, soul unharmed, over."

He then took another look at Naruto and spoke to it once more. "Can I get a reading on this guy?"

And without further notice, he stuck the device in the hole in Naruto. "Oy! What are you doing?!" yelped Naruto.

Hitsugaya ignored him. "So, what's the reading?"

A voice came out of the device. "Reiatsu test completed, Hitsugaya Taichou. Reading was 2000 units."

Hitsugaya nearly dropped the device when he heard that. He only had a reiatsu of around 1500 and he was a captain. 'No wonder he attracted so many hollows in fifteen minutes,'

Naruto had a confused look on his face. "Uhhh… what just happened?" he asked.

Hitsugaya looked at his Naruto before taking out his Zanpakutou. "This is a Zanpakutou or a Soul Slayer. It is used to purify hollows. We slay the hollows allowing the souls to rest. We also use it for Soul Burial which is to send you to Soul Society." He turned the Zanpakutou around and tapped it on Naruto's head.

"Thank you, and what's your name? Mine's Uzumaki Naruto! Nice to meet you," said Naruto as he started to disappear.

"Tenth Division Captain, Hitsugaya Toushiro," said Hitsugaya and when he saw the confused look on Naruto's face, "Don't worry, all will be explained once you arrive in Soul Society, I'll see you soon."

Naruto arrived at Soul Society. 'Hmm, so this is heaven,' he thought as he walked around. He jumped on top of the buildings like he used to and everyone looked at him in amazement. He enjoyed the feeling of the wind.

After a while, he saw a familiar face. "Hitsugaya-san!" yelled Naruto as he ran towards him.

"There you are, I've been looking everywhere for you," said Hitsugaya. "And its Hitsugaya-Taichou to you," he said with an obviously annoyed face.

Everyone looked at the two; whispers came from every direction how a new person was talking to the tenth division captain.

The two walked down and arrived inside Sereitei. As they walked, Hitsugaya decided to explain a couple of things to Naruto. "Naruto, this is Sereitei. It is the place where Shinigami lives, trains and so on. We have thirteen squads to protect the souls. These thirteen squads each has a captain which is the strongest of the squad in what they specialize in. Division four for example, specializes in healing people where as the 11th Division specializes in fighting and just for your own good, don't mess with that division's captain… he'll kill you without a second thought."

This made Naruto gulp but he was still a bit confused. "Okay… so what exactly am I doing here?"

"You are here to become a Shinigami," said Hitsugaya simply.

"Why would I want to become a Shinigami?"

"Tell me Naruto, why you wanted to become a ninja?" asked Hitsugaya.

Naruto looked at him and thought for a bit. "I became a ninja so I can defend others and have other people to acknowledge me!"

"Very well, you see… becoming a Shinigami would help you defend innocent souls on Earth and it will also allow other people to acknowledge you if you become strong."

"Oh, I get it now! So when do I get to become a Shinigami?" asked Naruto excitedly. This meant that he would be able to see his friends again and to protect them, to watch over them.

"You will find out soon, ah… we're here," said Hitsugaya as they reached the 1st division captain's office.

Knock, Knock, Knock

"Come in… " said an old voice.

Hitsugaya and Naruto stepped in and Hitsugaya bowed when he saw the captain.

"Hey, it's another version of the old man!" he exclaimed and Hitsugaya looked at him like he was crazy.

"Don't disrespect the Captain like that, he is the strongest Shinigami in the whole of Sereitei. "

And so, Naruto bowed down as well.

"Who is this, Hitsugaya-Taichou?"

Hitsugaya stood up. "Yamamoto-Taichou, this is Uzumaki Naruto, after only fifteen minutes after death… he has already attracted ten hollows and a Menos Grande, I wish for him to become a Shinigami!"

Yamamato's eyes widened as he heard this but remained calm. He started examining Naruto, 'Uzumaki Naruto… the boy with the Kyuubi in him, interesting.'

He looked back at Hitsugaya, "And his reiatsu reading?" he asked.

"Two thousand reiatsu units," muttered Hitsugaya.

Yamamoto remained calm and observed him. 'Even after death, such a crazy amount of energy,'

"Very well, send him to the Academy,"

Naruto groaned as he heard this. He has had enough of the Academy but then he thought, 'Wait, this time might be better seeing how not everyone is going to hate me and they will treat me fairer this time,'

Naruto and Hitsugaya walked out. "So… what now?" asked Naruto.

Hitsugaya reached into his pockets and handed him a piece of paper and a key. "This has the all the information of the Academy, who you're staying with and where you're staying with." And with that, he walked away. 'I need a long break after that,' he sighed.

Naruto walked around until he found his apartment. He took out the keys that Hitsugaya gave him and opened the door. "Anybody home…?" he asked while taking a peak and saw that no body was home. He looked around the house until he found something unusual. It was very well hidden but he was sure it leads to somewhere else. He tried channeling some type of energy and called upon his chakra but nothing happened. He then tried doing the opposite and his reiatsu came out and he touched the wall, it went through. He channeled more throughout his whole body and went through the wall.

What he saw shocked him. It was like a whole entire world. He saw heaps of rocks and then a hot spring. Something felt unusual. He felt that his life was being drained but at the same time it was returning.

"That would be because of me kit,"

"Huh, why are you here?!" exclaimed Naruto, "I thought I died and so you died with me!

"Look at what you just said. You died and I died WITH you… such an idiot,"

"Man, I can't believe I'm stuck with you again…"

"Stop whining, I happened to know something about Shinigami, let me explain everything to you,"

Naruto sat down like a little child eager to listen to a story.

"The reason why I'm not dead is because I'm a demon but not only that. You called upon my powers so many times that there was a connection between us and so I was dragged into death along with you. I also happened to know a couple of things about a Shinigami as I was sealed away by The Shinigami."

Naruto nodded slowly trying to apprehend what the Kyuubi was saying. "But why are you helping me?"

"I was hoping that once you died, I would be able to free myself but seeing how I'm forced to stay inside you forever and I definitely can not leave in a place like this, I might as well get along with you. Although… if you don't get stronger and kill, then I'll be forced to use my chakra to burn the hell out of you."

Naruto gulped but then said, "Wait… How can you use Chakra? Isn't that the Energy of Life? We're dead so now shouldn't we have the Energy of Death instead?"

"You are right but that would only be if I died. You dragged me with you so technically I did not die. The part you dragged me with, I lost all chakra for that… and so I now have demonic reiatsu but the other half, I still have the chakra so now I have half chakra and half reiatsu. I have around three tails worth of reiatsu and five tails worth of chakra."

"Wow, that's pretty cool… so what now?"

"You will be attending the academy and learning things such as hand-to-hand combat which you will easily ace. Kido and such will be a problem but you must be able to master it for future purposes. You will also be learning the history of Shinigami which I already know so I will teach you beforehand so you can meditate in class or do whatever you want. I want you to meditate so you can talk to your Zanpakutou. Zanpakutou is like a unique spirit which gives you power. Each Zanpakutou has its own powers and abilities that match your own characteristics. You will get to know your Zanpakutou during those lessons. Last thing you will be learning is to how to fight with your Zanpakutou. This is probably the most important for you and I will help you with that."

"How are you going to help me with sword fighting? You don't even have a body!"

"Shut up and listen. I don't have a body but you do,"

Naruto looked confused so Kyuubi continued his long speech.

"Listen, I will lend you my chakra so you can perform Ninjutsu but I must warn you. Do not try mixing them around until you can perfect both of them. Once you perfect both of them, you can use both at same time but the exact same amount to keep a balance. No one has been able to use this because they can't be alive and dead at the same time. If you're able to do it correctly, the power is indescribable."

"Wow! I'm awesome!" exclaimed Naruto.

Kyuubi got annoyed so he sent the smallest amount of chakra mixed with reiatsu near Naruto which caused a huge explosion.

"What was that for?!"

"For not shutting up, that was an example of when you mix chakra with reiatsu. Lastly, you must improve faster than everyone else because seeing how clumsy you are and seeing how you're such an idiot. You will never achieve Shikai or Bankai. Those are evolved forms of your Zanpakutou and will increase your power ten folds or more. I will lend you my chakra so you will be able to make shadow clones and fight with each other to increase your fighting skills. Remember not to use reiatsu as you fight and do not use this technique with kido or anything else."

"Wait… what technique?" asked Naruto. "How does that work?"

"When you create Shadow Clones, you make direct images of yourself and whatever those clone learns, does or experiences, you will feel it too and learn it. Lastly, I will like to tell you about this area. This area was created by Urahara Kisuke and Shihoin Yoruichi for training purposes. You can not stay here for too long but due to me being able to recover you constantly. You can stay here for three days at a time without any consequences. Now, it is time for me to go and for you to greet your friends. Goodbye Naruto, till next time."

Naruto got out of his mind and just stood there for a while absorbing information.

"So, you want to grab something to eat Rukia?" said an unknown voice.

"Sure thing Renji, wait… someone's been here! Where are they?"

Naruto heard it from above him. "YOOOO, I'm down here! Channel your reiatsu and enter the wall outside of the bedroom with the ugly drawings on it of little rabbits and shit!" yelled Naruto.

Rukia's eyes twitched as Renji began to laugh. They both entered the wall and found Naruto.

"Who the hell are you," asked Rukia. She was annoyed that he had insulted his drawings.

'And she calls me impolite, what a hypocrite…' thought Renji.

"Uzumaki Naruto, nice to meet you Rukia-Chan, Renji-San," exclaimed Naruto. "I'm going to be living with you guys from now on; I'll also be attending the academy soon.

"Oh, so are we…" said Rukia and Renji in unison. They looked at each other and blushed.

"Oh, are you two…going out?" said Naruto as he gave them his infamous foxy grin.

They both hit Naruto on the head.

"Why would I want to go out with her?"

"Why would I want to go out with him?"

They said it in unison and all three of them cracked up.

"So, what is this place?" asked Rukia.

"You can get strong real quick if you train here but apparently, it kills your body so lets get out of here as soon as possible,"

They went back outside and Naruto looked up at the sky. 'It's going to be fun living here with these guys…' he thought.

A year passed by quickly as Naruto, Rukia and Renji became closer friends. They learnt about the history of the hollows, Soul society, the nobles and just other boring historical stuff. They learnt a lot of theory including battle theory, theory behind the Zanpakutou which Naruto all found pretty boring so he just thought about random stuff during those times because Kyuubi taught him those things already.

They also had some practice with katanas which Naruto found extremely easy. He was the best at it with ease due to his training with Kyuubi. He trained whenever he could in the secret underground place and relaxed in the hot spring after every training session. He had been training with shadow clones so his improvement increased ten folds or even more but most of the time down there was not fighting with swords because he improved a bit too fast. Most of the time training down there was to improve his Chakra and Reiatsu control but not at the same time.

He was even practicing his flash steps which he took a while to get used to. He eventually got it and it became quite useful to him.

He learnt about all the captains and all the vice-captains and the one he was most afraid of was Zaraki Kenpachi.

After all the training, in no time, Naruto was being called a Genius and even some Captains knew about him.

In the second year, they learnt a bit more advanced stuff. Naruto still trained hard everyday and he eventually became a lot stronger but nothing compared to a seated officer. His friendship grew with Renji a lot but he was even closer to Rukia. Those three was always seen together. They did everything together other than going to toilet, showering and sleeping. They were the closest of friends.

In the third year, they all became a lot stronger but Naruto was definitely the strongest out of them. The day finally came, the day they were to receive their Zanpakutou.

Naruto waited in class for a long time and he was pretty frustrated at the end.

"Uzumaki Naruto,"

Naruto got up and walked towards the door. He entered a room that looked had a blue reiatsu aura. It was huge and it covered the whole room.

The instructor told Naruto to come forth. "Put your hands into the orb and then channel your reiatsu into it,"

"Naruto… this is the time you have been waiting for… listen to me Naruto, You will have to mix of three different type of energy. Channel your reiatsu into it while channel the chakra I'll give you into and lastly, channel my reiatsu into it. Make sure they are even… I believe in you, Naruto."

Naruto nodded and placed his hands on the ball. He began to channel his own reiatsu at first but then felt a disturbance and felt the familiar feeling of Kyuubi's chakra and channeled that through the mystical ball. Lastly, came the Kyuubi's reiatsu. He poured the reiatsu into the ball and just when he thought he was complete, another type of reiatsu came out of Naruto.

It was strong… a bit too strong. When Naruto finished and filled the ball with his chakra and reiatsu, he got blown away and hit the wall. The people in the room were shocked. What on earth just happened?

"Come here Naruto, put your hands into the ball now and grab the Zanpakutou out."

Naruto walked over there again slightly frightened at what just happened. He put his hands into the ball and slowly extracted the Zanpakutou. As the Zanpakutou came out, a large force entered Soul Society. What was this Zanpakutou?

'Excellent…' thought Kyuubi.

I know you probably all hate me for those time skips but I really can't be bothered going into his ACADEMY detailed life... I mean.. its just so boring. There are so many other better things to write about.

I don't know much Japanese so don't expect much. I'm not that great with english either so critics on how to improve are also welcome. Please don't read the story and go oh it sucks and then continouing reading it. Those are idiots and people have done that to me before. If it sucks, it sucks so don't read it.

Comments please :) Thanks.
