This is my first fanfic and I am trying out a crossover as I have thoroughly enjoyed reading all Bleach/Naruto crossovers. If you see anything I can improve upon, please leave a review.

Disclaimer – I sadly don't own Naruto or Bleach. I mean if I did I would certainly not let Naruto and Ichigo get beaten up so badly by pretty much every good and bad guy before finally overcoming them after about 10 episodes… anyway rant over, on with the story.

Prologue - Death isn't the end:

A brief flicker of agonising pain followed quickly by suffocating darkness, met yet another human.

A huge crater, the size of a small city or large village, was still slightly smoking from the dust residue, leaving anyone still alive in the general area to know that it had only been done little over an hour ago.

In the epicentre of the giant crater were 2 figures still encased in shadow by the remaining dust and debris. However, the smaller of the two figures roared loudly in anger letting go a massive burst of wind to blow away all the dust and dirt that lay heavy in the air.

The two figures came into sight and at first glance looked fairly similar but as you got closer you could see the differences as clear as day.

Both of the figures looked to be in their mid-teens but one stood at 5 foot 8 while the other was at 5 foot 5. The taller one looked like a ghost – as white as paper but with an unnerving stoic attitude and really creepy purple eyes with 4 rings in each of them.

To make him look even more disturbing… he had many piercings going through various body parts however, the second figure had worked out the piercings were far more important than ever stated.

The man, known only as Pein-sama/Leader of Akatsuki, looked slightly tired and banged up if one was to look at the slight muscle tremors that went up and down his arms every now and then. Although, the smaller of 2, the one that had bright blonde hair and an orange and black get-up, looked furious and injured if the blood dripping down his chin and the blood that was spreading from his abdomen staining his clothes a dark crimson colour.

Pein looked over at the kid that was his opponent and said emotionlessly. "…It is over, your village is nothing but a crater, and you are critically injured Naruto Uzumaki, your friends are all dea-"

"Shut the hell up you bastard!" The now known Naruto Uzumaki shouted fiercely interrupting Pein. He looked at the one responsible for all this, everyone he knew about was dead, he couldn't feel them even in his very sensitive state of Sage-mode.

His guilt and regret was building heavily on his soul weighing him down with such emotional pain that he did not even feel the presence of Pein in front of him before it was too late.

Schlikt

The metal rod struck deeply in Naruto's chest.

"Araaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!"

"In the end Uzumaki you were just another casualty of this world's ignorance. When I gain all the bijuu I will create the ultimate weapon where I will force peace to everyone – anyone that rebels will be destroyed that is the will of God."

"D-Damn you bastard…cough cough… you are no God… and peace is nothing like what you are aiming for…cough." Yelled Naruto coughing up blood the whole time… he could feel himself getting weaker, his chakra was being suppressed very quickly, he didn't have long left.

"Enough of this talk, the wound you have is critical but Kyuubi is healing it slowly – in fact I can feel it already healing around my weapon. You will soon be unconscious and then we will retract the Kyuubi from you and will finally have the end of this war-loving world."

Naruto just sneered with absolute hatred in his eyes "You know… you talk too much…" Naruto then suddenly grabbed Pein's arm and also the rod in him and focussed a large amount of his remaining chakra on moving to the fake tree that the real Pein was hiding in.

Konan and Nagato looked in surprise at Naruto and the Deva Path as they shunshined to their location.

Naruto let a dark chuckle echo around the hollow paper tree,

"…well this is what you look like in real life huh… some God…"

Just then Naruto started glowing a dark red and started unleashing huge amounts of chakra and killing intent around the area.

So much so that even Nagato and Konan started to get a bit worried although the only way you could tell though was the slight beads of sweat that was falling from their faces.

"What do you think you are doing… just give up; you have lost Kyuubi-brat." Said Nagato; with a slight edge of taunting in his voice.

"There is no way… NO WAY THAT I WILL GIVE UP! I WILL DESTROY YOU EVEN IF I HAVE TO DIE AS WELL." Shouted Naruto; with power and fury radiating off him in waves.

'Goodbye my friends… I'm sorry I was too weak to save you guys… Kakashi-sensei, Hinata-chan, Sakura-chan and everyone else, even you Sasuke wherever you are.'

With those final thought echoing in his head Naruto closed his eyes and sent the last of his chakra to a seal on his chest, right over the scar that was in the middle of his chest.

The seal glowed bright red lighting the entire area in an eerie red glow.

Nagato seeing this turned to his deva path and Konan and yelled uncharacteristically. "Konan, Deva don't let him finish that seal it's an extremely powerful explosive seal it's-"

However, he never got to finish as Naruto spoke one word.

"Boom!"

"Shinra Ten…"

"NOOOOOOOO!"

The entire area in a 5 mile radius was vaporised and everything within there was toast.

A brief flicker of agonising pain followed quickly by suffocating darkness met yet another human.

Naruto suddenly opened his eyes and saw that he was floating around and had some random chain attached to his chest of all things.

Naturally, not liking being restricted like this, Naruto started to pull on the chain but stopped quickly when he felt a huge amount of pain hit him as he did.

'Great I'll have to live with it then'

Suddenly Naruto was pulled to his mindscape and met the one ultimately responsible for the Akatsuki destroying his home and killing his friends.

"I see you sacrificed your life to kill those 2 imbeciles, I guess this is it then you are dead and the seal looks like it is remaining strong so I am stuck with you even in death." The ancient fox looked angry and looked straight at the blond with an annoyed look upon his beastial face until he saw the pure look of defeat upon the blondes face. He sighed, why he always had to deal with such emotional and annoying humans you would think that some God was having fun up there.

When eventually Naruto did make eye-contact with the great fox the fox once again sighed seeing the tears falling down his face. 'Most likely from the other meat-bags that were killed earlier..." concluded the giant fox.

Kyuubi, surprised himelf probably more than Naruto, attempted to lighten the mood of a rather powerless situation by jokingly saying:

"Well kit seeing as we're both dead and have nothing to do, you got any 3's...?"
