Dregus here. You know, I don't understand why people would favorite and follow a story, yet not leave a review. Well, it's not that I really care if you do or not as I'm writing this story because I want to, and for no other reason. If you don't like, don't read it, and don't try to push whatever stuff you want to see into my story, as it is my story, not yours. If you have an idea you want to pitch me, I'll listen to it, then decide if I'm going to put it in or not. Don't like it? Well tough shit.
But still, at least all the favorites and followers of my story let me know that you liked it enough to do that. So thanks for that. It's nice to know that one's hard work is appreciated.
Though I am sorry for the 'unreadable wall of text' I had in the prologue, and try not to do that again. On that, if any of you readers notice any mistakes, let me know immediately so that I may correct it.
Also, I know that VFSNAKE did a similar story called 'Deathly Uzumaki', and Kronos Titan of Time's 'Shards: Rot' this is not going to be a 'clone' of either story.
One last thing. I don't have unlimited time to use a computer, and the days I can use one can change at any moment,
And with that said, I don't own Naruto or Bleach, or any of either series' characters. So, on with the story.
There was a beautiful woman with long, bright-red hair and large, and pupiless eyes. She wore an elaborate, high-collared kimono with the Uzushiogakure symbol on the back of the dark colored obi which was tied around her waist. Her hair was arranged in buns with hair pins in them and three clips in the front. She also wore a dark shade of red lipstick and had a violet-colored diamond mark on her forehead. She also wore tags with kanji written on them in her hair decals. This woman was Mito Uzumaki, wife of Hashirama Senju, and Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Kitsune.
She was walking through the forests that her husband had created, and was reflecting on the latest events. The wars had ended, she had sealed the Kyuubi inside of her to prevent it from being used again, and Madara had been defeated. Things were going well, even though the war had yet to end. Though she did feel somewhat bad for the nine tails, having been used like it that. No creature deserved to be used like a tool. She also felt bad for the other Bijuu that her husband had subdued and sent to the other villages. But what else could be done? They were far too large and powerful for them to roam free, as the Ichibi had proven when it decided to level several towns before it was captured. If the weakest of them could do that much damage in its crazed rampage, she could only shudder what the others could do.
Just as she had decided to go home, her senses alerted her to something. Being the Kyuubi's jinchuriki, she had been granted the ability to sense negative emotions, strengthening her already great sensor abilities. While she could identify almost any kind of energy source, but what she was sensing was strange. It was like a mixture of energies, but none of them felt human, and it terrified her. "What in the world could produce this kind of energy? It feels like… death! But the only thing that could produce such a feeling is the Shinigami mask in the Uzumaki Clan's Mask Storage Temple!"Whatever it was that was producing this kind of energy, was something that she believed should be approached cautiously, and decided to use the seals she had placed on her necklace that she had linked with the one Hashirama has, to alert of this possible threat. With that done, she decided to go and see what exactly was producing this strange energy, with the hope that she would be able to seal it with her Fuinjutsu.
At the Hokage office.
A tall man with tanned skin, dark eyes and waist-length black hair combed back with two single locks framing his face, wearing wear the traditional Kage attire consisting of the customary hat and haori over a full-length gown, along with a simple red headband. This was Hashirama Senju, leader of the Senju clan, and Shodaime Hokage of Konoha. He was staring intently at the papers on his desk. "Why did I agree to be the leader of the village? Being the head of the Senju clan was bad enough, now I have to deal with even more paperwork?! Please, let something happen to save me from this boredom!" He hoped. And as if to answer his prayers, there was a knock at the door. "Come in!" Hashirama said happily for whomever it was that was distracting him from that god awful paperwork. The door opened, as tall, fair-skinned man with white, shaggy hair, red colored eyes, with three red marking on his face, one under each eye and another on his chin. He was wearing armor emblazoned with the Senju symbol worn over a simple black suit, with a distinctive fur collar. This armor was constructed from numerous metal plates, formed into multiple protective guards along his body, in particular: chest, waist, shoulders and upper arms. This clothing was accompanied by sandals and a happuri engraved with the Konoha emblem, in the place of the more traditional forehead protector.
"What brings you here brother?" asked Hashirama. His brother then stood at attention in front his brother. "I have come to give my report, Hokage-sama." He stated respectfully. Hashirama let out a sigh at this. "Must you always do that? Were brothers and you don't need to call me 'Hokage-sama' like that!" He said, exasperated by his brothers stiff attitude. "I am sorry, but I cannot. Even as my brother, you are still the Hokage and my leader, and I will refer to you as such Hokage-sama." Was his curt reply. Running his hands through his hair, Hashirama let out another sigh at his brother's answer. He was always like this. Sometimes he imagined Tobirama was doing that just to annoy him.
He was about to speak again, when he felt the necklace his wife had given him start to glow. He had infused the necklace with his Mokuton, allowing him to synch with it and help him calm down Bijuu. When he had shown it to Mito, she had somehow combined her clan's Fuinjutsu into it, and linked it to a necklace she wore, to act like beacon should there be trouble. But for Mito to have used it, something must have happened. He quickly stood up, throwing off his Hokage robes and startling his brother Tobirama in the process, revealing similar armor to what his brother was wearing, with the only difference being his was red, and Tobirama's was blue. "Hokage-sama?" was his brother's stoic response. Turning to face his brother he replied. "Something is wrong. Mito has activated the beacon in the necklace. She would not do so unless it was serious." He replied with a serious expression. He disappeared in a Shunshin, with his brother doing the same. "What could have happened for lady Mito to have activated the beacon?" Though both brothers as they raced to her location.
Back in the forest clearing.
Back with Mito, she could honestly say that what she found was not what she was expecting. She had seen many strange things in her life, as being a shinobi would guarantee that, but never would she suspect that the power she was feeling from this crown in front of her would be able to generate such a feeling of dread. It was an extravagantly decorated and bejeweled crown with a chain running downward on the left side, with what appeared to be a black pearl in the center. It felt to her as though it was almost…alive. While she had heard of sentient objects, like that one blade called the Sameheda, but it felt as though the crown possessed a soul all its own! Before she could think more on it, her husband Hashirama and Tobirama had appeared in a Shunshin.
"Mito, what is it? What's wrong?" asked Hashirama immediately as he had arrived. Mito motioned for them to come over to where she was. As they did, they immediately felt as if they were walking closer to death itself. When they were right in front of it, they stopped, and the feeling had increased to the point that it felt like the crown was trying to suck out their very souls. "What… is that?" said Hashirama as he cautiously looked at the crown. With his abilities in Senjutsu, he could also sense the feeling of death coming off of the crown. What was going on here, and how could such a thing produce this kind of feeling of dread?
Mito had broken him of his thoughts when she said "I do not know. I have felt a feeling of death like this before, but at the same time this is different. It's almost as if, the crown is alive." She said. Tobirama, not being able to sense such things like his brother or his wife, was skeptical. "How could such a thing be alive? Whatever powers may lie within it, it couldn't be that bad." He said as he moved closer to it. Thinking they were merely over thinking things, he grabbed hold of the crown. And as soon as he did he truly wished he hadn't, as images began to assault his mind: visions of a skeletal being wielding a giant axe easily mowing down his enemies, and releasing some kind of dark cloud that disintegrated everything in its path. It then began to show him many other things, most of which he did not understand.
This would have continued had the crown not been knocked out of his hands by Hashirama, who sensed something was wrong when his brother had not moved after touching the crown. "Brother are you all right? What happened?" Asked a worried Hashirama to his brother. Recovering from having those images invade his mind, Tobirama shakily spoke. "When I picked up the crown, I saw images, visions of what I believe was the previous wearer of this crown. That it was a being of great and terrible power. And it seems that even in death, that being still holds power." As he said this, Hashirama and Mito were regarding the crown much more carefully than before.
"Why would the crown show him visions like that? If whatever bit of the crown's previous owner were still residing in the crown, would it not seek to try to possess someone? Instead, it seemed more like the crown was warning him of the power the crown holds. But why would it do that? Unless… it's not the previous owner of the crown, but a different entity altogether! That must be it! There must be another consciousness inside of the crown, put in as a safety feature to warn anyone of the danger the crown possesses!" thought Mito. Relaying her thoughts to Hashirama and Tobirama, they agreed, as it was the only logical explanation as to what had happened to Tobirama.
It was then decided that they would seal away the crown, and put it somewhere safe where no one would be able to abuse its powers. Hashirama had used his Wood Release: Four-Pillar Prison Technique combined with Mito's Uzumaki sealing techniques, so that only someone of Senju or Uzumaki decent would be able to access it. While Hashirama felt that it should be accessible to the Hokage, no matter their blood, but the power of this object was far too great for him to trust anyone outside of his family. And so, with the crown sealed they could now safely pick it up.
Mito had decided that she would put it in the Uzumaki clan's Mask Storage Temple, which had been built not long ago. Inside of the temple, are several oni masks, and it's said that one of this is able to summon the Shinigami. Hashirama never confirmed this by actually putting on the correct mask, as his ability to use Senjutsu allowed him to sense such things, like with the crown. After all, he had no desire to be possessed by the Shinigami itself, which lead him to believe that a similar fate would befall anyone who actually wore the crown.
As Mito had put the finishing touches to the seal, Hashirama could only hope that the seal would hold, and that no one would be foolish to seek it out. But with their plan to tell no one of the crowns existence, save for the Senju and Uzumaki clans, he felt a bit better about this whole ordeal. And with the crown now sealed and hidden deep within the Temple, his thoughts turned to that of his village's welfare…and the paperwork. He began to mentally cry at the thought of having to go back and finish it.
Inside of the crown.
"That was a lucky break. I'm glad we ran into someone like that Mito woman, and not some power hungry fool. How are you doing Sui-chan?" the hogyoku asked, as it looked over at its guest. Now that they were all free of Aizen, they could finally relax a little. "Fine, I guess. Though what are we going to do now?" she asked, genuinely curious as to what was going to happen now that they were sealed by those people with their strange abilities. Even in the soul society, she had never heard of someone being able to manipulate plants like that, or their strange sealing abilities. "To be honest, I'm not really sure. After escaping through that Garganta, I wasn't sure where we would end up." The hogyoku sheepishly replied.
Kyōka let out a sigh at this, as she had thought that was the case. "All right, then what are we going to do about energy? Even though I am free of Aizen, I cannot sustain myself on my own energy for very long." That was another problem. Without a constant source of energy, Kyōka Suigetsu would eventually 'die'. Not to mention the crown would need some as well, as to keep it from deteriorating, and subsequently killing them as well. Even with the ability to siphon off energy, like it did with the Espada and Aizen, there was now no one where they could use for that purpose.
As they began to think of a possible way to solve their problem, Kyōka remembered something. Back in the Seireitei, Reishi was everywhere. Even though this was not the Seireitei, was it possible that there was energy in the land itself? After all, those humans that had just sealed them away had an abundance of energy, and they weren't even dead! If the living of this land could hold such power, perhaps the land itself has some to spare for their needs? After telling the Hogyoku of her idea, they set out to see if the land did in fact hold energy like the Seireitei did. And they were right, but they did not expect there to be so much of it! It seemed as though all of nature, not just the humans, had this energy, though what they were sensing from nature was far more pure and powerful.
"Do you think we will be able to harness this 'nature energy'? After all, it's not the same as that of an Arrancar, or Aizen's." worriedly asked Kyōka Suigetsu.
"Don't worry Sui-chan, it'll work out just fine. When that Tobirama took hold of us, I took the opportunity to take some of his energy. It is similar to Reishi, but there seems to be something extra as well, which probably has to do with the fact that these people are alive." Said the hogyoku. Soon they began drawing in the nature energy, but only a small amount at first to test if it was compatible. And to their luck, and joy it was! With the abundance of the natural energy around them, they would have Kyōka Suigetsu would have no fear of disappearing, nor that their 'home' would crumble. It helped that the wooden box that man had made acted like a magnet for the natural energy. Perhaps this was so that it could fuel the seals for their confinement? Whatever the case, it helped them immensely.
"Now that that's been settled, what do we do now?" asked Kyōka Suigetsu.
"We wait, until we find someone who will not abuse our powers. I had briefly thought that maybe that Hashirama, I believe his name was, or that Mito woman, but there was something strange about her. I felt a dark and malevolent energy from inside of her, and it felt like it was alive, almost like an inner hollow Ichigo or the other Vizard's had. But it felt like a completely different entity, almost as though another living creature had been put inside of her. Whatever the case may be, our powers would have conflicted with that presence, and would not have ended well." Stated the hogyoku.
"Well, since we're going to be here for some time, do you think you can take a human form? It would at least be better than being a disembodied voice." Suggested Kyōka.
The Hogyoku had never really thought of having a human form. Sure it referred to Urahara as 'father', but never put much though into something like that. Not sure on the matter, Hogyoku asks "What kind of human form do you have in mind?" And thus started a rather long conversation between them on what Hogyoku's human form would look like.
Many years later, in the village of Konoha.
It was the late at night, and most people were asleep, save for the few ninja who were patrolling the village. Though one person in particular was sneaking around the village, and avoiding the patrols. Somehow, while wearing bright orange, with bright hair, he was able to avoid these 'highly skilled' ninja. Even though at the age of 15, he was a little short for his age, at five foot even, with bright blonde hair reminiscent of a sea urchin, with cerulean eyes full of determination, and six whisker marks adorning his cheeks. This is Naruto Uzumaki.
Earlier that day, he had failed the exam to become a shinobi due to his inability to use the Bunshin. He had had trouble doing it for years, and could never get it right, but the instructors had never seen fit to find a solution to this. "Probably to get their kicks out of watching me fail." He thought bitterly. But getting the forbidden scroll of sealing would solve that, as it had to have some kind of jutsu that could solve that problem! And with the instructions Mizuki had given him on how to obtain it, he was sure to succeed!
As he made his way through the tower, he soon found himself inside of the room where the Hokage handles paperwork. As he entered, the Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi looked up from his paperwork. "Naru-kun, what are you doing here at this hour?" Panicking, naruto immediately uses his sexy jutsu. "Crap, what the hell was I thinking!? There's no way he's going to fall for this!" as he mentally started to panic.
But to his immense relief, and surprise it did work, and Sarutobi fell back with a nosebleed. "I can't believe it. The Hokage's a pervert." He deadpanned.
Transforming back, he goes over to the wall with pictures of the Hokage's, and stands before the Shodaime, Hashirama Senju. Taking hold of the picture, he accidentally cuts himself on one of the corners. Keeping down a yelp of surprise at being cut, he proceeds with putting the picture aside, not noticing that some of his blood was now running down the back of the picture. He channels some of his chakra to the wall where the picture was, opening a secret panel, revealing the forbidden scroll. As he is about to leave with the scroll, his blood had reached the center of the back of the painting, revealing a sealing formula. It glows for a moment, and then another, smaller scroll is released from it. Naruto believing this is merely part of the test decides to take it with him and leaves to the area that Mizuki had specified.
Opening the scroll, he notices the first jutsu was labeled 'Shadow Clones'. "What!? Shadow clones? That's my worst subject!" he yelled in dismay. But then he remembered the smaller scroll that he had pocketed. Taking it out, he tries to open it, but to no avail. Frustrated with not getting it to open, he tries to think on it. "Wait, how did it even appear there? Mizuki never said anything about another scroll. But more importantly, where did it come from? All I did was take down the painting, cut myself, and take the forbidden scroll… wait, cut myself? That's right; my blood had touched the seal on the back of the picture, so all I have to do is use my blood!" he proclaimed excitedly, having figured it out.
He then took out a kunai, and cut his finger. And as touched the scroll with his blood, another seal appeared, then vanished, and the scroll opened. Picking it up, he began to read it.
"Hello there. To whoever is reading this, weather you be of the Senju or Uzumaki clan-"At this, naruto had to stop reading.
"What? Uzumaki and Senju clans? I know the Senju were the clan that had first made Konoha, but what about the Uzumaki? The old man told me that I was an orphan… Something isn't right here." And he continued reading.
"Senju or Uzumaki clan, than that means that the current leader of the Uzumaki, or Senju clan has deemed you worthy to know this secret. If that is the case, then you must read carefully to what you are about to be told, a secret that was only ever known to be known to a select few. There is an item that holds great power. It has the appearance of a crown, but do not be fooled, as it still holds great power.
I fear that the spirit of its former wearer still resides within it, as when Tobirama picked it up, he was assaulted with visions of the previous wearer, as some kind of defense mechanism. But what Tobirama saw was frightening: a being so powerful, so terrifying, that it had the power to make everything around it turn to dust. And in fear of it power possible being abused, it was sealed away in the Uzumaki mask temple for safe keeping, and could only be accessed by one of Senju, or Uzumaki decent.
I hope that you use this knowledge wisely.
-Mito Uzumaki Senju."
Naruto was shocked. Uzumaki clan? He was a part of a clan!? And they were allies with the Senju, not to mention that one had married the Shodai himself!? What was going on here? Naruto had thought that he was simply a 'no-name' orphan, with his parents being unknown. And now he finds out he had had a clan this entire time? And if his clan were even allies with the Senju, than the Sandaime must have known about it. But if he didn't tell him that he was a member of a clan, than what else was he hiding from him? "Wait a minute, 'Uzumaki mask temple'? Is that the same place that I had used to hide from the villagers? I thought it was just some abandoned shrine!"
Deciding that finding out more about the clan that had been kept secret from him, he rolls both scrolls back up and makes his way to the shrine as fast as he could.
After running at his top speed for 30 minutes, he finally arrived at the Uzumaki temple. "And to think, that the place I used to hide out in was actually built by my clan." He said quietly, as he gazed at the temple. It was in as bad a condition as he had last been there. The temple gate, bearing the same swirl pattern as the scroll written by Mito Uzumaki, looked like it was barely standing up, as was the rest of the temple. The roof looked like it would collapse, not to mention it had holes, the walkway on the right of the building had completely fallen, and the doors to the temple had fallen.
"If the uzumaki and Senju were close allies, then why would they let this temple get as bad as it is?" He thought bitterly as he looked at the decrepit shrine.
Shaking his head, he focuses at the task at hand of finding out more of his clan. The steps creaking as he walked up them, seeming as though they would give way. As he entered the ruined building for the first time in years, he felt a sense of nostalgia wash over him, and not just because he had hidden here before: but because it was a part of his clan, of the family he never knew about.
But that sense of nostalgia was soon replaced with a heavy and foreboding feeling. The wall covered in oni masks weren't helping the feeling either. Not seeing any doors, he walks right up to the back of the shrine where the Oni masks hung.
"The scroll said something about a crown, but I don't see anything but these masks." He said as he let out a sigh of frustration. Just where the hell was this crown? Taking out the scroll to see if he had missed anything, he noticed something was different: there was a seal array on it. Then, lines began to appear on the floor, just in front of the wall with the masks on it.
"Maybe I have to use my blood like last time?" he then cut himself, and placed his bloody hand on the seal on the floor. A dull glow signified that he was indeed correct, and trapdoor opened, to reveal a box covered with seals covering it. But even confined, he could feel a dark, oppressing power emanating from the inside of the box. When he reached for the box, a drop of his blood had managed to fall onto it, and the seals began to glow. "Oh shit-"was all naruto got to say, before the box exploded, and the energy held within exploded in a bright flash and staggering naruto.
When the light died down, he saw it: an extravagantly decorated and bejeweled crown with a chain running downward on the left side. But what really grabbed his attention was the black pearl in its center. He could feel its power rolling off of it. But it didn't feel dangerous to him, but rather welcoming. It felt as though it was calling to him. Slowly, he reached for it. As soon as he had grabbed hold of it, he heard someone yelling from outside.
"Naruto, where are you!?" Yelled a voice that naruto had recognized: his teacher, Iruka.
Walking out of the temple, naruto said "I'm right here Iruka-"but was cut off as a kunai narrowly missed killing him.
"Damn it, I missed." Stated Mizuki, as he came out of the forest with two Fuma Shuriken on his back. "Well, well, well, so this is where you went. It took me a while, but I've finally got you little demon." Said Mizuki with a cruel smirk on his face.
"Demon? What are you talking about?" said naruto. It was not the first time he had been called demon, as the villagers had called him that plenty of times. But something in his gut told him that this was not one of those times.
"Mizuki, what are you doing here? More importantly, you know that subject is forbidden!" yelled Iruka.
Mizuki merely looked at him before saying: "Well, since it doesn't really matter anymore, I'll tell you: I tricked the demon over there into stealing the scroll for me. My plan was to kill him and take it, but it seems there been a change of plans. And since your both going to die anyway, I may as well say it. Naruto, did you ever wonder why the village hates you, why everyone avoids you? It's because 15 years ago, the Yondaime didn't kill the Kyuubi, oh no, instead he turned it into a child: you! You are the nine tailed fox!" he stated with mad glee.
Naruto stopped listening to Mizuki and Iruka talking at this point. He was stunned. That's why everyone in the village hated him? Because they thought he was the nine tailed fox? What kind of bullshit is that! He may have been a lot of things, but sure as hell wasn't a giant, nine tailed beast of destruction! And the Hokage knew about it too! The Hokage not only lied to him about why the village hated him, but about the uzumaki being a clan, and not just the name of some random orphan. But if he was lied to about that, what else was he being kept in the dark about?
Well to hell with all of them then! He wasn't a scapegoat, to be used to vent their anger on! Not their tool to be used as they saw fit! He felt a sharp pain in his hand, and realized that in his anger he had gripped the crown too tightly and hurt himself. Looking down at the crown, he made his decision: to put on the crown.
"I don't care what happens, weather it just outright kills me, or whatever spirit inside of it possesses me. I will not be the village's lapdog any longer! What are they going to do, bring me back from the dead and torture me? Well to hell with them!" He thought angrily.
And so, with his mind made up, he put on the crown. And then everything went to hell, as Naruto was soon enveloped in a column of red energy. The power, and malevolence and the crown gave off by this was felt all over the village.
In the Hokage's office.
Things had not been going well. First naruto had stolen the scroll, then shortly after sending his ninja to look for him, a giant column of malevolent red energy erupts into the sky. "Wait a moment, that place is near the uzumaki mask shrine! He must have found out the truth somehow! But I made sure that all information about his relation to the uzumaki clan was either destroyed, or hidden." Thought Sarutobi. The only explanation that came to mind is that Naruto somehow found out the truth, and let loose the Kyuubi's chakra. "ANBU!" he commanded, as he threw off his robes to reveal his battle gear. And with that, he and several ninja ran toward the giant pillar of energy, hoping he could salvage this situation.
Naruto was confused, as he didn't feel anything. He had expected to feel something when he had put the crown on, but nothing! Opening his eyes, he wasn't prepared for what he saw. He was standing in the ruing of some large building. In the distance, he could see what appeared to be a dessert. Even more confusing was the fact that it was night, and there wasn't a single star in the sky. "So, is that what the afterlife is like?" he wondered aloud.
"No young man, this is not the afterlife, and you're not dead." Stated a female voice from behind him.
Turning around, naruto was looking at two very beautiful women. The first was a young female around her late teens to early twenties, standing at 5'4, with long silver hair that goes to her mid back. Her skin was pale, and her form was lithe, and she was wearing a forest green kimono and obi, with white flower and double-c cup breasts. Her eyes were an icy blue with some silver in them, and were regarding him with a warm look, something he was not used too.
The other woman was quite different from the first. She stood at a fairly tall at 5'7. She had an elf like appearance, with her pointed ears, and looked to be around her early twenties. Her skin was mocha colored, and her golden hair reaching down to her mid back. Her dress was sleeveless was white, with gold on the edges, and showed off some of her impressive d-cup breasts. The bottom of her dress had a slit that went up to her knees, and wore boots of the same color. Her golden eyes were looking at him in curiosity.
Naruto, shaking himself out of his stupor from looking at the two beautiful women, asked:"but if I'm not dead, then where am I? And who are you?"
"I can answer that." Stated an elderly voice.
As Naruto heard that, he felt it: the same power that was emanating from the crown, only on a much larger scale, and much more terrifying. Not even the Sandaime could hope to compare to it! When he turned to see the source of the energy, it was an elderly man a white mustache and white hair. His face was lined by large scars on the left side of his chin and across his right eye. He is quite stocky and muscular. He wears a regal white leather coat with black fur lining with short sleeves and three black fur stripes running along the bottom. He also wears a golden wrist band on both wrists and a belt which consists of three thick chains attached to a large metal disk with a sun emblem. And as if the power he was emanating wasn't enough, he was sitting on a throne made of bones.
Naruto may not have known what was going on, but he wasn't going to show any fear to this being. He had put on the crown expecting to either die, or maybe even possessed by the spirit within. Whatever was going to happen, he wasn't going to stand down. He had put up of years of abuse from the villagers, and he sure as hell wasn't going to take any crap from this guy, no matter how powerful he as!
Standing his ground, naruto calmly stated "And who are you people exactly? And where am I?"
The old man stood up to his full height of 5'5, with a slight slouch. "You're brave, I'll give you that much. But I suppose I should greet you. My name is Baraggan Louisenbairn, God-King of Hueco Mundo. "
After Baraggan announced himself as the God-King, though naruto didn't know where Hueco Mundo was, the woman with silver hair decided to speak "My name is Kyōka Suigetsu, and my friend is known as the Hogyoku. And you my dear boy are the exact person we have been waiting for." She said in a melodic voice.
And another chapter completed. All right, now to explain some things.
The reason I had the time it took naruto to run to the mask temple be 30 minutes, is because I really have no idea where it is, since they only said that it was outside the village in the manga. And besides, naruto is a ninja, and even though with the village treated him (improper training, etc) he would still be able to get there faster than a normal person.
Now about the crown: the reason I hid it in the mask temple, is because way too many people have stuff like this sealed inside of the forbidden scroll. I mean, if even a Chunnin like Mizuki knew how to get his hands on it, then the scroll is not very secure. This means that anyone of that rank or above would have access to it, and therefore find these dangerous objects.
With Mizuki laying out his plan, I had shortened it up because he had to spend time looking for naruto since he wasn't at the spot he wanted him at, and didn't have any time to waste because of that.
Links to the pics of what both women look like on my profile. Now with the pic of the hogyoku, just imagine that her shirt is closed up a bit so that not as much is showing and her ears are more a bit shorter.
