CHAPTER 1: Prelude to an Invasion
Darkness was all there was in the cavern. Two men wearing black coats with red clouds on them walked towards the deepest part of the cavern.
"I wonder why our Leader has recalled us from our mission to retrieve the Nine-Tailed Fox?" asked the tall man with his sword on his back.
"...He said that something has been brought to his attention, Kisame," replied his partner.
Kisame Hoshigaki and Itachi Uchiha are members of the Akatsuki, an organization composed of nine members, including their Leader. Naruto Uzumaki and his friends killed two recent members, Kakuzu and Hidan. Kakuzu, even though wasn't killed, is considered dead by the Akatsuki. Naruto Uzumaki is the Akatsuki's enemy. They were not interested in him because of his abilities, but what is inside him: The Nine-Tailed Fox. Itachi and Kisame were still searching for him; however, the Leader called them back.
As they made it to the end of the cavern's path, they reached a Giant Boulder standing in front of them. A small beam of light shined in front of both S-Ranked Ninja. The beam scanned up and down, identifying the two.
"Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki. Verification confirmed. You may enter." A voice replies as the Giant Boulder next to them shatters, allowing them to proceed. They continued to walk until Kisame decided to break the silence.
"Speaking of 'something,' I wonder how the 'Invasion Plan' is coming along, Itachi."
Itachi was silent for a second, and then began to speak, "Deidara and Tobi volunteered for it. They had two missions for the plan. First, they were to retrieve the Flamberge and the Vorpal Swords. Then, they would search for a 'Strawberry' or something."
"Strawberry?" Kisame asked.
"Not the fruit, I think his name is Strawberry or Ichigo," Itachi said.
"The name 'Ichigo' does make a lot of sense. But, why are we after him?"
"...I don't know the answer."
Kisame nodded. It is best that they ask the Leader about this 'Ichigo' character.
"By the way, what is with the new guy?" Kisame asked Itachi.
"Who? Morpheus?" Itachi asked his partner.
"Right, he is a new guy, but, what he looks like...I can't put my finger on it."
"His face does have an 'unusual' appearance, but, he has a lot of potential. His abilities may prove beneficial to us."
Kisame nodded, "Where did he come from?"
"Some place called Hueco Mundo, even I don't know such a place," Itachi replied.
Before Kisame could speak, another voice starting to speak.
"Welcome back, Itachi and Kisame," This was the Leader speaking through a hologram.
The two bowed to the Leader before they took their places in between the other Akatsuki members.
The Leader turned to Deidara and Tobi, "Deidara and Tobi, I understand you were forced to retreat. Explain yourselves."
"We managed to enter the Soul Society as planned and we began to start our mission. However, we were spotted before we reach our destination. There was a major fight between the Shinigami Captains and us. We lost most of the troops that were involved. We had to withdraw from the fight," Deidara said.
"You couldn't even fight back?" asked Konan, a blue-haired woman standing next to Itachi.
"These Captains were incredibly fast, Tobi and I couldn't even perform our Jutsu on them."
"...Interesting..." Itachi said, softly.
Deidara and Tobi continued to argue to Konan about the situation, until the Leader stopped them.
"These Shinigami Captains are a major threat to our plans," The Leader said, "they must be dealt with or at least put out of commission."
The Leader then turns to Itachi and Kisame.
"Itachi and Kisame, step forward!"
The two members complied and approached the Leader.
"I want you two to finish the mission Deidara and Tobi were assigned. Invade the Soul Society and retrieve the Flamberge and Vorpal Swords. Then, invade Karakura Town and search for a boy named 'Ichigo' and bring them here. The Portal to reach the Soul Society is in the desert near the Hidden Sand Village. Everything you want to know is in a bag near the portal. Any objections?"
"No, sir, but I have a request," Itachi said.
"A request?" The Leader responds.
"I would like to take Morpheus with Kisame and me."
The man named Morpheus approached the Uchiha. Just like what Itachi said, he had an unusual appearance. His face had a part of a Skull covering the top half of his face, as if it was a mask being ripped off.
"Why would you want Morpheus to join you and Kisame? You need troops to invade the Soul Society and deal with the Captains," The Leader said.
"Morpheus is all Kisame and I need. Morpheus has an ability I would like to see for myself," Itachi explained.
Morpheus looked at Itachi. His sliver eyes looking at Itachi's eyes.
"Very well, do not fail us," The Leader said.
The three bowed to the Leader before leaving the cave at an extreme pace.
Deidara smirked, "This should be good, yeah. I would like to see how strong the new guy really is."
Zetsu, whose head appears to be enveloped in a large Venus flytrap, turns to the Leader, "Do you think Morpheus is powerful?"
The Leader smiled through the hologram, "His ability is very impressive, but he lacks any shinobi skills. His ability makes up for that."
Zetsu nodded.
"Today is the day that both this world, Karakura Town and the Soul Society will fall before the might of the Akatsuki!" The Leader laughed insanely.
Two worlds: The World of Shinobi and Karakura Town and the Soul Society in the other world, are in grave danger. Now the question is: Can the heroes of both worlds stop the Akatsuki?
