Enjoy!

Naruto's POV:

Voices all around me… I feel warmth in my limbs and the sound of birds chirping is all around me. I swear I died… so I must be in heaven… but how? After everything I've done, how could I possibly be in the afterlife? I was falling, falling deep down in darkness… but then a voice called to me; it called my name sweetly and had a kind ring to it.

It was strange, because I was almost certain I was falling into the pits of hell… but something saved me... something powerful and kind. I bet it was Kami, or God, whatever his name is… but why would he save me, a murderer that hated the world and cursed those who curse him.

Well it doesn't matter why I am here, because I know I should be grateful for not burning for eternity. My eyes flutter open and I see a tree above me and beyond that is a wide deep blue sky with white clouds sailing across it.

I sit up, rubbing the tired feeling out of my eyes. It appears that I am on a hill, and at the bottom of it sits a wide village, ten times bigger than Konoha from what I can see. And beyond the village is a distant wall that is very large.

I sigh and sit back down on the grass, and stare at the sky. I almost wish that I wasn't sent to this pathetic and peaceful place, because I know that I fully deserve to rot away in the underworld for eternity. I almost find myself regretting dying, seeing how all of my research and jutsu scrolls I had in my lab have all gone to waste now. Well I suppose I should just get back from where I left off.

I close my eyes and smirk. Maybe this afterlife won't be too bad after all.

Third Person POV:

In the Seireitei the captains were currently having a meeting discussing Rukia Kuchiki's punishment, for she was brought back only a day ago. Central 46 had just let them know about how they wanted to punish her, which was execution by the sokyoku.

They were giving their opinions on Central 46's decision, which many thought was going too far, even if Rukia had committed a serious crime according to Soul Reaper law. Suddenly they felt a strange and strong spiritual pressure coming from Rukongai.

All of the captains were on alert and ready to confront whatever the source of such power came from, but the Head Captain held up his hand in a silence/wait sign, which quieted down the concerned captains.

Meanwhile in the Head Captains head, he heard the voice of God speaking to him. "Yamamoto, the source of the spiritual pressure you and your captains felt is a young boy who recently died. He was not sent here by konso; instead I was the one who brought him here just before he fell into the abyss. I understand that you do not have the kind of time to listen to my reasons at the moment but I will tell you what you must do for now. I want you to have the boy taken here, and I want you to train him in the arts of the soul reapers and have him join a squad. But do not send him to the soul reaper academy, how about have him train under one of your captains or perhaps do it yourself. I tell you this because he has much potential and I hope that this experience will change his heart. I will tell you more about him in due time, but now you should tell your captains to bring him here and you may tell him as much you wish to about him."

The Head Captain nodded his head when the message was done, and he opened his eyes and looked at the other captains. His voice boomed with authority, "Captain Soifon, you are to go to the location of the spiritual pressure we felt and bring the boy here, but do not harm him or be too rough, for he is not an enemy.

We are to bring him here and then train him to be a Soul Reaper quickly, and we shall not send him to the academy for we do not have the kind of time on our hands to wait for him to take the six year program, according to God. And we must trust that he knows what he is doing. Now go! Bring the boy here and get to work!"

And some of the Captain's flash stepped out of the room and went off to fulfill their duties. Byakuya went off to his barracks to inform Rukia of her execution that was to happen in twenty eight days from now on sokyoku hill. Soifon and several other members of squad 2 went with her to Rukongai to bring the boy to the meeting room. Quite a few of the captains stayed in the room to await the newcomer that they were to train.

Meanwhile on the hill in the Rukon district.

Naruto's POV:

Hmm I must've dozed off or something because my eyes feel heavy again. I open them and look up to see an orange sky that was slowly becoming a dark purple of night.

Crap, someone's coming this way and from what I can tell, they have very powerful energy emitting from them, it almost feels like chakra but its lighter, and more… spiritual. I quickly sit up and get into a stance facing the direction I believe the person is coming from, but I don't see anyone.

But a voice from behind me was certainly unexpected. "Look kid, I'm not going to hurt you or anything so calm down, and just come with me" a female voice says.

"Ah, I must be getting rusty because I could've sworn you were coming from the other direction. Either that or you are just ridiculously fast. What do you want with me anyways?" I say as I turn around and come face to face with a short lady in a black shihakusho and a long white haori with a sword on her back. "You don't need to worry, just come with me; my leader wants to see you." She says, and I know it would be disrespectful towards her to say no, especially since she seems like a person with lots of authority. So I nod and follow her.

She takes me through a large gate on a wall and through a maze like place. Of course I don't have enough time to sight see, since she is moving practically 50 miles per hour… well that is an exaggeration but she still moves really fast. We soon arrive at a building and enter a large corridor. At the end of the corridor is a pair of large doors that we enter through.

I find myself in this big room full of large people who all wear similar haori as the girl who brought me here. I turn to an old man sitting down at the end of the room with a big wooden cane. He's definitely the one in charge around here, plus he seems like the powerful type so I should be wary of him… for now that is. "I'm guessing you're the big man around here," I say with a smirk on my face, "So what could the leader of this dump want with me, a lowly soul whom hardly deserves to be here?"

"You are here to be trained and enlisted as a Soul Reaper" the old man says in a booming voice. "Yo old guy, are you an idiot or something? In case you haven't noticed, I just got here and don't know squat about this shit hole so if you are going to attempt to enlist me to become this Soul Reaper thing then you better tell me what a Soul Reaper is." I say, becoming slightly annoyed.

"Ah, you are being impatient and not letting me explain things to you properly! My name is Genryusai Yamamoto; I am the Head Captain of the Gotei 13 or also referred to as the thirteen court guard squads. Each squad has a captain, a lieutenant, and many other soul reapers. Soul reapers are people with spirit energy, which is similar to the chakra from your realm. These people with spirit pressure have another soul within their soul which is called a zanpakuto, which takes the form of a sword and is a soul reapers main weapon. We will help you to connect with and obtain your own personal zanpakuto and teach you to use it, along with another "weapon" called Kido, which is like a magic that you use your spirit energy to perform. I know that while alive you also knew how to fight and use your chakra to perform things similar to Kido, so I would like you to demonstrate your different skills, but not the destructive kind, seeing how we are inside and I would rather not have to repair this room."

"Hmm, yes I could show you some of the things I know how to do, and about the soul within a soul thing you talked about… well as a baby I had a demon sealed into my soul and this whole time here I didn't detect anything else inside of my body, so would he be my zanpakuto?" I ask.

I feel a smirk tug at my lips when I see everyone eyes widen, and in the old man's case, his eyes opened slightly. "whoa, it's already quite surprising that you remember your previous life, but it's even more surprising to find out you have a demon inside of you!" says a man with a pink flowery kimono over his uniform.

"Yes it is likely that this other being within you could be your zanpakuto. But for now please go on and show us some things you can do." says the old man.

I smile slightly. I bring my hands up, making hand signs and whisper to myself the name of the jutsu.

Third Person POV:

The captains all saw the blonde haired boy make some strange signs with his hands and then whisper something. At first they thought he was being silly or was tricking them but then when each one blinked they found themselves all alone in the room. It confused them to find them all alone but then suddenly the blonde haired boy would appear before them.

The boy held several objects in his fingers, which were identified to be shuriken, a tool used by ninjas and squad 2. The boy threw them at the people inside of the illusion, pinning them to the wall. Their blood appeared to squirt out, covering the floor in the crimson liquid. They thought they were actually going to die but then it stopped.

They all looked around and saw they were all together again and in the center of the room standing in their lines. They saw that they were completely unharmed.

"That was a genjustu, or in other words, an illusion. In my previous life I studied on genjustu and torture, and in my opinion I am quite an expert at torture. The illusion you each saw was just one of the minor ones that hardly even drives the person under it insane. I have many more horrifying and gruesome illusions but I'd rather not drive a bunch of people I just met insane. And other than illusions, I can't really show you much of my fighting skills in this room without messing something in here up" Naruto said.

"No its fine, the illusion was more than enough proof that you are a capable young man, and we would like to train you to be a Soul Reaper as soon as possible, boy. And I admit it was very impressive and you almost made me nervous with that illusion, and that's saying a lot. So how about it, will you train to be a Soul Reaper and join the Gotei 13? And by the way boy, we haven't gotten your name yet." said the head captain.

"Sure, I guess it would give me something to do, especially if it means that I get to continue perfecting my genjustu and my torture justu's, and it would make me more powerful. But I have one condition. And that is that I have permission to do as I please with any useless prisoners that you have in some sort of prison."

"Ah yes, that would be good. And as you may have access to the Maggots Nest, one of our prisons, as long as you promise to not ever release people from it, unless you have permission to release a specific prisoner from me. Now what is your name, boy?"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki." Naruto said.

"Nice to meet you, welcome to the Gotei 13, Naruto Uzumaki. You will currently be staying in my barracks for now until I have a proper squad set up for you, and training starts tomorrow at noon. This meeting is now closed, dismissed!" said the head captain, and all the other captains disappeared in a flash. Naruto was led out of the room by squad 1's lieutenant to an extra room in the barracks.
