Disclaimer - I own neither Bleach nor Naruto

It was a bright, sunny day as Naruto walked alone in the streets of Konoha."Kakashi sensei is out on a mission with Pervy sage and Sakura-Chan said that she wanted to do some useful talking with Ino" Naruto thought as he sighed. "Damn it, I have to train but I can't do it without Kakashi sensei"Naruto was left alone and was just wondering of what to do when someone dashed into him and both Naruto and that person fell on the ground.

"Hey!" Naruto shouted as he got up. "Sorry Naruto" said Lee as he also got up "But you must always be aware for the sake of youth". Lee was as bright as always.

"Yeah whatever" said Naruto, he never did get what Lee meant when he said for the sake of youth. "Where are you off to anyways? You look excited"."Huh...You didn't know?" Lee asked surprised. "Lady Hokage selected few teams and said that we had to gather today at the main gate"

"So your team was selected?" Naruto asked wondering why no one had told him about this earlier."Yeah" said Lee "But I thought your team was selected too because Sakura-chan and Sai were talking about this to Yamato-san".

"Humph..." Naruto wondered what was going on. It was not like Tsunade would leave him out when his team was concerned.

"Come with me" said Lee interrupting Naruto's train of thoughts. "It doesn't look like a secret kind of mission if you ask me and if your team is in it then..."."Sure" said Naruto now eager as to what was going and Sai, both were Naruto's team mates and Yamato was their captain. They always went on missions together, Naruto couldn't think of any reason as to why they had kept this secret from him.

"NEJI!" Naruto heard Lee shout as they reached the main gates. He saw that there were 3 teams waiting there. They were with Naruto in his academy years, except Lee's team who were a year older. The Hyuga turned towards them and Naruto saw that Tenten was also present beside him. He and Lee joined them."Isn't Gai-sensei here?" as he could not see any teacher there.

"Well no" said Tenten "None of the sensei's are coming though Kakashi-sensei might join us later."

"You are all going alone on this S-ranked mission?" Naruto asked as Kiba approached. "Does this look like alone to you?" Kiba said pointing to the group behind him as Neji wondered if it really was an S-rank mission, everyone seemed too relaxed to him. "I mean that you are all just Chunins-" Naruto said

"You are forgetting Neji Naruto" Lee said as everyone sighed at Naruto."Right" said Shikamaru "Neji is the captain for this mission"

"I wonder what will be the mission" said Shino suddenly from behind Naruto making him jump. "4 teams are in it together"."Yeah..." said Ino "I have a idea it is going to be fun though"

"Yup" Tenten nodded.

"It looks like it will take a lot of days" Shikamaru sighed. "What a drag..."

"Thank god I came prepared!" Chouji said and everyone turned towards him "I have brought plenty of chips with me including the special spinach-"

"Quit it Chouji" Ino glared at him.

"Um...Naruto-kun..." Naruto turned to see Hinata looking at him "Where is Sakura-chan and Sai-san? Hokage-sama will not be happy if she came and didn't find them here"

"Great!" Naruto thought, so his team was in it alright and that also without his knowledge.

"We're here!" everyone turned to see that the cheerful voice was of Sakura as she and Sai approached them. Her face quickly dropped as she saw Naruto with them.

"What is the meaning of all of this?" Naruto shouted at them. "Why didn't you tell me that we had to go on a mission?"

"You see Narut-" Sakura started but Kiba interrupted her.

"They didn't tell you?" Kiba was shocked

"But Hokage-sama specifically gave Sakura-chan the job of telling it to you" Hinata said.

"Sakura..." Ino turned towards her and Sakura's head dropped.

"Well... "She said "I thought it was best to leave you out of this mission Naruto"

Everyone was shocked, what leave him out? Why? They had no idea.

"I see" said Neji and everyone turned to him instead. "But you can't be the one to decide that Sakura"

"We asked Hokage-sama" said Sai at once. "But it's all useless now that Naruto is here" said Shikamaru.

"But why?" Naruto said. He didn't like being left out like that.

"This mission causes threat to you as you have the Kyuubi inside of you" Neji said simply.

"What?" said Tenten and Lee together.

"Yeah" said Shikamaru "Where we are going now exposes all our spiritual pressure and as the Kyuubi has high spiritual pressure when it all is exposed..."

"It threatens to harm you" Sai finished.

"But how do you know about it?" Ino demanded "Except Neji and Shikamaru no one of us were told anything"

"Tsunade-sama called us and Yamato-taicho to ask if taking you was right" Sakura said.

"If Tsunade-sama has approved then I see no harm in leaving him out" Neji said closing his eyes.

"Wait wait wait" Naruto said "You all are going so I want to go too" Naruto knew this was a lame excuse but he couldn't think of anything else to say.

"I can understand how you feel Naruto" Naruto felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Lee, who had also closed his eyes and was nodding to sympathize with Naruto "I can see the power of youth blazing within you"

"Well..." Naruto was serious but it all seemed to have disappeared with Lee's pitiful glances. "Thank you"

"That's it then" Kiba said smiling at Naruto "It is a top secret S-ranked mission so we don't want you eavesdropping"."I am coming!" Naruto said "I with talk with Granny Tsunade when she comes"

"Looks like you won't have to wait then" Everyone turned to see the Hokage of the leaf with her assistant, Shizune coming towards them."Tsunade-sama" Sakura said as Tsunade joined them

"I want to go too" Naruto said at once turning towards sighed "I knew you would say that" she looked at Naruto and saw determination in the boy's eyes.

"Well..." she said "You know the threat you will take right?" Naruto nodded "If that's what you want then will you take responsibility?"."I will" Naruto said "The Kyuubi won't control me. I will take charge of my own life and will not allow him to mingle with it."

"Then you will go with them" Tsunade said simply.

"But Tsunade-sama" said Sakura "Yamato-taicho isn't coming with us so we won't be able to control the Kyuubi if it comes out"."He will not" Naruto said and one look at him told her that he was not going to back down.

"I'll tell you about the mission then" Shizune said and everyone turned towards her."You all will be going to a place named seiteri. Where death gods live"

It took a lot of time as Shizune and Tsunade explained them all about death gods, their zampakuto, hallows, seiteri, gotei 13 etc., how the death gods cleansed the hollows with their sword, Zampakuto, how humans couldn't see both the death gods and the hollows, and how they were attracted by strong spirit.

So we have to go to the soul society" said Tenten finally convinced that Tsunade was not joking."We have to help them kill the hollows?" Neji raised his eyebrow. The whole concept of helping the death gods looked a bit...wrong to him.

"How come you know about all of this?" Kiba asked their Hokage "I mean, wasn't this supposed to be a secret?"

"The lieutenant of 6th and 10th division arrived here a few days ago explaining everything to me. There had been a sudden increase in the hollow number recently and so they wanted us Shinobi to help them out."I see..." said Shikamaru."Even the afterlife was not so easy then" thought Kiba.

"All right then!" shouted Naruto "If the death gods need our help then there is no point in lingering here anymore, let's get going"."Yeah!" Only Lee seemed excited other than Naruto, others were still fitting everything in their minds.

"They should be here anytime" said Tsunade "They will open the gate to soul society and take you with them"."Oh..." everyone gathered, they had not thought of how they would be going there."A word with you Neji" Tsunade said and walked a bit away, Neji followed.

"This is going to be exciting" Naruto said firing up."Shut up..." said Shikamaru "This is just another nuisance".

"What's this?" Sai said and everyone turned to where he was pointing. They saw bright light shining there and round doors opening."They're here" Tsunade said as she and Neji joined them."Soul society..." said Sakura and wondered what awaited them there.

"Hey everyone!" came a cheerful voice as a blond lady came out. "I am Rangiku Matsumoto, Lieutenant of squad 10; I'll be looking forward to having fun with you"."Shouldn't you say working" came a voice as a white haired boy came out with a frown on his face.

"Come on taicho" said Rangiku turning towards her captain "Don't be like that from the start".Wait a sec... Taicho... that kid was a captain?

"You are a captain?" Shino asked speaking what all of them had in their nodded and said "I am Hitsugaya Toushiro, captain of 10th division"."Unbelievable..." Kiba muttered under his breath. He once again began to doubt if Tsunade was pulling a gag on him.

"I see that you are all assembled here" came a voice and everyone saw that it was of a black haired man who came out of the door just behind Hitsugaya, he also wore the same coat as of the young captain. "I am Kuchiki Byakuya, captain of the 6th squad". Saying this he cleared their doubts.

"And I am Abarai Renji, Lieutenant of 6th squad, pleased to meet you" A red haired man followed his captain out of the door of soul society.

"We captains ourselves have come here to show the appreciation of soul society" Kuchiki told them as they all looked puzzled. Little did he know that all of them except Shikamaru looked puzzled because they were becoming more and more sure that this was all a joke, things were going too fast there.

"We really appreciate you working with us" Toushiro said and then looking over at Tsunade added "the captain general gives his apologies for taking out your people for a long time."

"It is not any trouble" Tsunade said "This is for the better of the world"."We shall head off then" said Kuchiki and turned towards the door."Follow us everyone" said Renji as they just started wondering what they should do.

"Wait just a minute!" Naruto shouted and everyone turned towards him. Renji, Kuchiki and Hitsugaya looked shocked and Rangiku...happy? Leaf Nin were by now used to Naruto. Tenten was busy wondering why Rangiku looked so happy when Renji interrupted her thoughts. "What is it?" Renji asked in such a way that made Hinata think she was before her teammate Kiba.

"Spit it out Naruto" Neji said now impatient to go to the so called...soul society."What about our food?" Naruto burst out. "You are souls so you don't eat but how can we live if we don't eat Ramen?".Chouji was horrified, a little more than needed "How could I have not thought of it."

The captains and the lieutenants looked at him with stern eyes. "Food for you shall be arranged of course" Kuchiki said and turned away at the door once again. Naruto thought that he heard the word "disgrace..." but didn't bother, he would be happy as long as he got ramen.

"Let's get going then" said Hitsugaya and stood back to let them in behind the 6th squad.

"We'll go now" Neji told Tsunade as she nodded. Everyone took a last glance at their Hokage as they followed the 6th squad in the bright doors.

Shino, who was the last of their train, heard the 10th squad captain thank Tsunade again and promise her to take care of them before coming in behind his lieutenant who waved a cheerful hand at Tsunade.

All of them found themselves gazing at a world which looked pretty simple yet...magical.

"So this is..." everyone said in union "Soul society"
