Universal Switch!! by Southern Shinigami

Episode 2: Meet your new Friends... I think...

Last time...

"You have tremendous power, but it is not Chakra, it's Reiatsu. So, my question is, are you here to take me, Shinigami?"

"What? What are you talking about?" he said, even more confused.

"You are wearing a shihakushō , and your Zanpakuto is released in its Shikai form." Kyuubi said. "I can even hear it's name. Zangetsu, is it? You should be informed that that will not defeat me."

Ichigo smirked. "Well then. If that's the case," he said as he pointed his Zanpakuto towards him, "then how about this? BAN-"

It grinned, and interrupted him. "So, you have achieved Bankai, yet you are not a captain. Interesting. I have much to ask you and your Zanpakuto. But, perhaps later."

"What? What do you mean?"

"Because, you are about to rejoin the world of the living."

Now...

"What are you talking about?" He said, but not to the Kyuubi, but to the seven sets of eyes, in front of him. "Huh? Where am I now? How did I get here?"

"Sakura carried you here, Naruto." A man wearing a green vest and a grey jumpsuit, with disheveled hair and black eyes told him.

"Naruto?" He said, before he turned to the pink-haired kunoichi, Sakura. "Hey Pinky, didn't I tell you that that's not my name?"

Everyone looked at him, like he had just assassinated the Feudal Lord, and were all thinking the same thing. 'Naruto would've never called Sakura 'Pinky', let alone left the 'Chan' honorific off her name.' And they all saw Sakura get very angry at the 'Pinky' comment.

"NAAA-RUUU-TOOO!!" Sakura yelled, as she started to throw a punch at him, only to be stopped by a tall, buxom blonde woman, wearing a green haori.

"Hold it, Sakura." She said, before turning to the body of her gaki. "If you are not Naruto, then, might I ask, who exactly are you?"

Whoa, she's hotter than Inoue, Rangiku, and Rukia combined! He thought. Ichigo/Naruto smirked. "Heh. You guys too, huh. It's improper to-"

"You are in no position to tell us what's improper." A boy with long brown hair and lavender eyes, wearing a white top, pointed out. "It's best for your own safety, to tell us what we want to know."

And he's as stuck up as Ishida."Fine." he said. "The name's Kurosaki. Ichigo Kurosaki of Karakura Town."

Karakura Town?They all thought. There was no such place familiar to Konohagakure no Sato. Or anywhere in the Hi no Kuni or any of the Five Shinobi Nations or affilates. "Where is this Karakura Town?" The blond lady asked.

"It's a suburb of Tokyo, Japan." He said, agitated. "Don't you guys know anything?"

Tokyo, Japan? There's no such place! Now they knew something was wrong. "Hold on a second." a different, bored and disinterested, voice said. "You're asking the wrong questions. We'll never get anywhere like this." The owner of the voice walked towards Naruto/Ichigo. He wore a green vest and a black shirt, with matching pants. His eyes had a tired and bored look, and his hair was tied up in such a manner, it made his head look like a pineapple. "Okay. Tell us how old you are, and what do you do for a living."

Okay. I can't tell them that I'm a Subsitute Shinigami, so... "I'm fifteen years old, and a high school student."

A what school student? What the hell is high school? "Well, Hokage-sama," the pineapple head said to the voluptious blond, "I was expecting to hear that he was a shinobi. But, I didn't hear that. Can we get one of the Yamanaka's in here to check his mind?"

She shook her head. "They can't, Shikamaru. Because of his prisoner, there are two minds in there."

"Prisoner?" Naruto/Ichigo said. "You mean the Kyubi no Yoko?"

They all turned to him. "You know who the prisoner in your body is?" They had hoped that, at least, there was some part of Naruto in there.

"Yeah, just met him." There went that hope. "Fuzzy kept callin' himself that. Kind of annoying."

"Any more bright ideas?" another lazy voice, not as lazy as Shikamaru's, asked.

"Yeah," the afformentioned said. "I'm gonna ask him three questions. Questions that Naruto or any shinobi in our class would know. If he doesn't know those answers, or if I get different answers, then I'll know the truth."

"Go ahead then, Shikamaru." The Hokage said.

"First off, what's your favorite food?"

"Um," he said, thinking about it, "don't really have one."

Shikamaru rubbed his temples. "Okay, What's your best friend's name?" This one should be simple.

"Chad."

Maybe not so simple. "Okay, last question. Who's Sasuke Uchiha?"

And then the one sentence, no one ever thought would've come out of the mouth of Naruto Uzumaki, after all he's been through with him, and the bond that he has with him, came out.

"Who the hell is Sasuke Uchiha?"

Back in Karakura Town, at the Kurosaki Clinic/Residence...

After freaking out at the fact that the soul inside Ichigo's body, was NOT Ichigo, but that of a shinobi from the Konohagakure no Sato, named Naruto Uzumaki, it was apparent that Rukia would have some questions.

"Who are you? Where's Ichigo? How'd you get here? Where's Ichigo?" Rukia shot out.

"Dameru, already!!" Naruto yelled. "I'll answer your questions, just give me a minute!!"

"Okay. First off, who are you and where're you from?"

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. I'm a shinobi from Konohagakure in the Hi no Kuni."

"Konohagakure?" She said with a cocked head. "Village Hidden in the Leaves?"

"That's correct."

"And you're a ninja?"

"Believe it!"

"Okay." Rukia replied. "Now, for my next question: How did you get here?"

"I wish I knew. I don't know where 'here' even is. I woke up and that crazy goat-faced looking guy attacked me while I was sleeping, and claimed to be my dad, those two girls to be my sisters, and that I'm some orange-haired angsty-looking guy named Itsugo or Ichigo!" Naruto narrowed his eyes. "Now that I think about it, who are you?"

"My name is Rukia Kuchiki." She said. "I live here in the Kurosaki house, and I'm Ichigo's partner."

"Partner?" He said. "You're his girlfriend or something?"

"Not like that. His Shinigami partner."

Naruto was a little freaked out. "Shinigami? You're the Shinigami? Aren't you supposed to be, you know... scary?"

Rukia frowned at that. The stereotypical description of a Shinigami was way off, unless you were the 11th squad Captain, Kenpachi Zaraki, in that case, it was a pretty close description. So, she explained what a Shinigami was... the same way she described it to Ichigo: With Chappy the Bunny drawings.

"Do you understand?" She asked after she was done. Naruto nodded. "Good. Any questions?"

He narrowed his eyes at her again. "Yeah. What's with all the bad rabbit drawings?"

To that, he earned a whack in the head. "Anyways, that's what Ichigo and I are. Now, we need to-" Her Soul Pager started ringing. "Hold on." She answered it. "Hello? You got it? Great, thanks. Where were we? It's a long story. We're about to head to Urahara's. Meet us there. We'll explain everything there. Okay. See you soon." She hung up the phone. "Get back in Ichigo's body. Let's go."

"Why? Where are we going?"

"To see if we can find out what's wrong here."

Meanwhile... even somewhere else...

"Is everything set?" A raspy, creepy voice said.

"Yes, my lord. We have successfully broken through to the place called Hueco Mundo. To be exact, a place called Las Noches. It'll take us directly there." Another, more normal voice replied.

"Finally!! After all of this time of observing this organization and it's moves, I believe that we can benefit from each other, don't you think so?"

"Yes, my lord. With both of our forces united, I believe that all of our enemies will be crushed. There's no reason why this shouldn't work."

"Is this really necessary?" A normal, yet angst filled, voice asked. "I mean, have you really stooped this low, that we have to grab help from another dimension? This such of a waste of time. Time, which could be spent training me."

"Wow." The normal voice went. "You're still talking to our lord like that, huh?"

"Shut-up, four eyes."

"Make me, mega-emo."

"Now now, you two." The creepy voice intervened. "Now, this will only strengthen our cause, and bring our enemies to their knees, at which we'll kill them. Now, Saskue, Kabuto, let's go to Hueco Mundo and meet with this Soskue Aizen and his Espada."

Kabuto Yakushi smiled. "Yes, Lord Orochimaru."

Saskue Uchiha rolled his eyes. "...Whatever."

The trio entered through the portal, leaving their hideout in Otogakure, and entering Las Noches, located in the Hollow world of Hueco Mundo. Little did they know, they were being watched by Soskue Aizen, Gin Ichimaru, and some of their strongest Arrancar, known as the Espada, in Aizen's throne room. "Well, well." Aizen said, in his usual calm and smiling demeanor (A/N: You know, that demeanor is so calm, Treize Khrusenada is jealous somewhere). "What do we have here?"

"It appears that we have some company, Lord Aizen." Gin Ichimaru, his right hand man, replied. "Should we send some Arrancar after them."

"No, not this time." Aizen smiled. "They seem to be friendly forces. Why don't we let them in, and have them introduce themselves, hm? They can tell us why they're here.

Now, back at Hokage Tower, in Konoha...

"Okay." The Hokage, Tsunade, said, rubbing her temples. "So, your name is Ichigo Kurosaki."

"Yeah."

"And you're fifteen years old?" Shikamaru said.

"Yes."

"And you're from Karakura Town, in Japan?" Neji continued.

"Correct."

"And you're a high school student?"

"Yes, yes, yes!!" He answered, getting annoyed. "All of the questions you've asked, the answer is yes! Now, can someone tell me where am I, who are all of you, and why do I look like... like THIS!"

"You are at the Hokage Tower in Konohagekure no Sato." Tsunade answered.

"Village Hidden in the Leaves... Where is that in Japan? Am I in Japan?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Japan?" Sakura remarked. "Where's that?"

"Off the eastern coast of China. It's a country in Asia. Didn't you pass Geography, Pinky?"

There it was again. "STOP CALLING ME PINKY, YOU TEME!!" she yelled.

"WELL, YOU MAKE IT TOO EASY!! LOOK AT YOU!" he yelled back.

"ENOUGH!!" Tsunade said, as she slammed her right heel, hard enough to shake the room. "Sakura, calm down. Naru- I mean, Ichigo, please refrain from calling my apprentice names." They both huffed. "I know you're frustrated, Ichigo Kurosaki, but look at it from our point of view: A different voice is coming out of someone who we feel is precious to us. As for you claim to be from a country called Japan, I hate to inform you, but there is no such country in any of the Five Shinobi Nations, or it's affliates."

Naruto/Ichigo blinked. "No Japan? Then what country is this?"

"This is Hi no Kuni, the Land of Fire.." Neji answered. "Now, I have a question. How did you get into Naruto's body?"

"I don't know. I went to bed last night, in my own body, and when I woke up, I was here, in this body!"

"My Lady", Neji addressed Tsunade, "Should we call on the Yamanaka's? Maybe Ino or her father can shed some light on this."

"No can do." Shikamaru said. "The flower shop's closed, which means they're out of town. They won't be back for a few days."

"So, this means that I'm stuck in the body of some guy who's named after a ramen topping?" Ichigo groaned. "Whoopee."

'Ichigo...'

Huh? Zangetsu? Ichigo spoke to his Zanpaktou. What's up? Any way out of this mess?

'Well, I was talking to the Kyubi, and unfortunately, he doesn't know how this happened, either.'

What? Are you serious? Awww... So, I'm stuck here. Now what?

'You might as well make the best of it, Ichigo. Get to know these people. You're gonna need them while you're here. I'll keep talking to the Kyubi to get answers about this world from him.'

Thanks, Zangetsu. Should I tell them about my other job?

'It's at your discretion, Ichigo." the old man replied. "But, it might not be such a bad idea.'

"I'll help out too, King. He shouldn't have to do all of the work." His Hollow form spoke up.

Uh, thanks... I think. He thought, as he frowned.

"Something wrong, Ichigo?" Sakura asked.

"No. I was talking to my Zanpaktou on some information that he got from the Kyubi, about this world."

Everyone looked at him, like he was truly insane. "Your what?"

Ichigo sighed. "I guess I should explain what I am, huh? Well..."

And then Ichigo Kurosaki explained to Sakura Haruno, Shikamaru Nara, The Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, Neji Hyuga, and Yamato about who he was, how he got his powers, and his history as a Shinigami.

Meanwhile, over at the Urahara Shouten...

Rukia and Naruto/Ichigo met up with Uryu Ishida, Orihime Inoue, and Yasutora "Chad" Sado over at the Urahara Shouten. When seeing how perfectly fine Ichigo was, Ishida was not too happy about him missing the Hollow fight. Rukia promised to explain once they talked to Urahara. As they walked in, they were greeted by Tessai Tsukabishi, Renji Abarai, Jinta, and Ururu. When Kiskue came out, he saw Ichigo, looking perfectly fine. "Rukia, he looks okay." Kiskue said. "What's wrong with him?"

"It's not Ichigo, Kiskue." Rukia implied. "In fact," She put on the Soul Glove, and rushed Ichigo, "let me show you!" She pushed the soul out of the body, and, of course, it wasn't Ichigo Kurosaki, It was Naruto Uzumaki. Everyone looked at the soul form, and blinked.

"Um, just who are you?" Uryu spoke first.

"My name is Naruto Uzumaki!" Naruto replied.

Uryu raised an eyebrow. "And?" he said, expecting something else.

"Nothing else. Why?"

"No reason." Uryu replied. "I was expecting more, with the way you introduced your self, I expected more.

"What did you say?"

"Hold it, you two." Kiskue Urahara interruted. "Why don't we give Naruto-kun a change to explain here? His answers may amaze us."

Meanwhile, in Hueco Mundo...

Aizen smiled."Well then. I guess I can't turn down a request like that now, can't I? Consider yourselves, and the Otogakakure, our allies." He said.

"I am overly honored, Aizen." Orochimaru replied. "Why don't we celebrate by attacking them when they're down!"

He shrugged. "I was gonna crack open a bottle of sake, but I like your idea better."

A/N : So, there it is. Chapter two! Will Ichigo have to fight, and if he does, how? Will Naruto adjust to life as Ichigo? What are Zangetsu and Kyubi talking about? Find out this and more next time!

Hey, if anyone has any ideas of anything, let me know. I wanted to do pairings, but I wanted some ideas on who to use. So, drop me a line in a review and let me know what you think. Later!!
