Please read and review.

"Wow! Your fortress is a piece of art." Naruto commented, standing at the entrance of Las Noches with his group.
Aizen turned towards him and smiled,"Thank you Naruto. I'm glad that you like it. As it will be all of your home from now." He was amazed throughout the journey. If it could even be called a journey. When they got ready to move to Las Noches from the cave, Naruto had suggested him to use shunpo at its full power. Aizen was amused at the notion, thinking that they would not be able to keep up with him as he was a shunpo expert and decided to entertain the blond's wish. But, boy he was wrong. It was him who could barely keep up with them! He was getting tired by each minute during that marathon-like journey. Thankfully for him, the travelling remained for a short time as they had arrived to Las Noches faster than he had expected. Frankly, he would have fainted if he had used shunpō anymore. Now also he was slightly panting but was hiding it pretty well. He wouldn't have been so exhausted if he was at full power. But the distance was so fucking huge! He still couldn't believe what he saw. While he was using shunpo to move faster, the six Vast Lorde were running. Yes, running! And even then they were faster than him. Though, the way they were running was... unorthodox. Their whole upper portion of body was bent forward and their arms were outstretched.
"It is fuckin' big" Hidan said after whistling lightly and cutting Aizen off his thoughts.
"Let's go inside. I'm sure you all are pretty tired." Aizen said.
"Nope." "Not even the slightest." "That wasn't even a warm-up." Along these lines were the reply.
If earlier Aizen was surprised, this time he was trying hard to stop his jaw from dropping.' What is with them?! They ran a long distance and so fast. Even then they aren't tired at all! They are different from any hollow I've ever seen .'
"Let's go, what are you waiting for Aizen-sama? I'm tired of carrying this bean b- I mean Tousen-san." Kisame said angrily. The man was angry like a shark who lost it's prey. HE was the one carrying Aizen's lackey. No one else but him! He had thought of dropping Tousen in the desert earlier and making it look like an accident by the time they reached Las Noches but had dropped the idea after thinking that it might ruin their plan.
"Huh?" Aizen said after being cut of from his thoughts. Again. Seriously? What's with these guys and thought cutting? Can't a man even think peacefully? Bloody privacy invaders! "Oh yes, let's go." He said, getting back to the topic. 'A man can only have some privacy in his mind and his toilet.' Aizen thought sagely. With that he went inside, others following him.
"What the fuck?!"Hidan commented as he saw the daylight and the sky inside Las Noches.
"It's been so long since I saw daylight." Nagato said nostalgically. 'Albeit it is fake.'
" Since we all saw." Hashirama included. Everywhere his eyes went, he saw the human world's sky. 'This place is huge'
'Nice parlour trick.' Kisame thought.
"Innovative thinking, Aizen-sama" Tobirama said.
'I hate it. I hate everything related to humans.' Naruto thought with fury in his eyes. "It's marvelous Aizen-sama."
"I'm glad that you all like the fruits of my hard work." Aizen said smiling.
'More like the hard work of the hollows under your command.' Naruto thought.
"Let me show you all your quarter." Aizen said and started moving with others in tow.
"Quarter? Will we all be living in one quarter?" Nagato asked.
"Oh, yes. Since there is shortage of espada quarter and the normal quarters are for numerós, you all will be staying in the only spare espada quarter. That is only temporary, of course. I'll avail separate bigger places for you all as soon as I can."
Hashirama interjected,"That would be unnecessary. We all like to stick together with each other." The other ex-shinobi nodded at this.
'So we can watch each other's back.' Naruto thought.
"As you all may prefer. Oh! We are here." Aizen said, notifying them of their arrival at the quarters. The quarter was nothing too special or too big. Aizen led them inside and showed them the place.
'At last. My work here is done and I can now go and rest peacefully. Also, take Kaname to Szayel for medical attention.' Aizen thought. "Kisame, you can hand me Kaname. I will take him for medical check-up from here." He said without looking at them. When he turned towards the group, he saw something that horrified him.
Kaname was spawled on the floor. O.k. this was no big deal. But, with a big Vast Lorde who could obliterate a huge boulder with a simple kick stomping their foot on him could be a big deal. Kisame was the culprit as he was rather mercilessly stomping on Kaname. But it seemed that he didn't knew about it as he was busy in his verbal fight with Hidan.
"The lower portion is mine, go take the upper one." Kisame barked at Hidan.
"I was here first, tuna!"
"Tuna! TUNA?! I'll show you tuna, you asshole. Ce-"
"STOP! STOP AT ONCE!" Aizen had finally lost his cool. The whole pressure from the previous few hours had taken it's toll on him. He, himself, was suprised with his outburst. He had never lost his cool before. Not even in the toughest of situations. But these hollows, no, hellspawns had gotten on his nerve so easily. He had thought of using his reiatsu but figured out that it would have little effect on them. "And stop pulverizing Kaname."
Kisame looked down and saw the broken form of Tōsen. He looked as if he had been mauled by bear. A shark Vast Lorde in this case. "Oops! How did that happen?" He smiled sheepishly. Not that his smile could be seen due to his mask. Even if it could have been seen, it would have looked scary rather than sheepish, on his face. He picked Tōsen up and handed him to Aizen, who slung Tōsen over his shoulder. Something which Aizen wouldn't have done normally.
"O.k. Everyone is settled." Aizen said as he looked at them. Hashirama and Nagato were sharing one bunker bed and the other was being shared by Kisame and Hidan. Naruto and Tobirama had arranged futons for themselves. "I'll be taking my leave." With that the fifth division's fukutaichou left, Tousen on his shoulder.
For a few minutes, the six hollow just sat there and kept doing small talks having no importance or significance at all. Then-
"He's gone."
- Naruto spoke in a serious voice.
Nagato sighed, "I thought he wouldn't leave."
"He had to. His subordinate needed medical attention and Kisame increased it's need." Tobirama said.
"Naruto, when did he used his shikai?" Hasirama asked.
"When did he stop using his shikai? Remember what our informant told us? Aizen's shikai is a one time activation thing. He only has to use his shikai once to control someone's senses as long as he wishes to." Naruto reminded the others.
"That's great!" Hidan said in a sarcasm laced tone."We are his puppet whom he may control as he wishes."
"Can't you have some patience Hidan? Everything is going according to the plan and now you are acting like this." Naruto said with anger but his reiatsu didn't rise the slightest.
"Um. Sorry, Naruto -sama." Hidan said meekly.
"It O.k. But this should not happen again." Naruto said coldly. "Also, remember this I am not your leader here. Hashi is."
"Aizen is very cunning and deceptive. He thinks through every action at least thrice. That's why we have to be very cautious about everything. I didn't see his shikai back there in the cave so I can see through his tricks." Naruto said. "But, the same time my disadvantage is that I can see through his tricks. I have to rely on you all to know where he is showing himself in his hypnosis. Today, I had to follow your movements to act to be under his shikai's effect. It was a miracle that he hadn't noticed it."
"What are you implying?" Kisame asked.
Naruto grinned under his mask,"I am implying that we have to find a method to somehow counter this disadvantage. I know that sometime Aizen will call me to meet him alone. He will give some bogus reason about it. But his real motive will be to check if I am under the control of his Kyōka Suigetsu or not."
Hashirama spoke,"How can you be so sure?"
"Because it will happen if he thinks even a little bit alike me. Which I know he does. He is calculative, cool minded. Well, he was cool until Kisame decided to fry his brains. Let me ask you sometbing, where was he during our travel?"
"He wasn't in front of us, was he? That was one of his illusions, wasn't it?" Kisame asked in his rare but effective times of intelligence. Contrary to popular belief, Kisame wasn't a person of no brains and only brawns. He was very intelligent for his own good but preferred to go more with brawns.
"Yes and yes. Throughout the journey, he was at the back. Firstly, because he couldn't keep up with us and secondly, because he didn't trust us and didn't prefer to get a sneak attack on himself. Also, inside Las Noches, he was at the back besides Tobirama and what you all saw was his another trick when he was taking us here."
Tobirama grunted,"As if we would attack him. What would have been the purpose of the plan if we had to attack and kill him already."
Naruto nodded,"The guy is a master planner. You would have to give him the credit on that. But, the one thing about these master planner is that they overlook the smallest of details in their plan, which other can exploit as much as they want if they find it."
"Aizen, like every being, has a weakness. Fear. Fear of death. Death at the hand of someone who's power overshadows him in every way. For our plan to have succeeded at the cave, we needed for Aizen to feel fear. For that to happen, he needed to have the feeling of complete hopelessness. He had to feel and realize that all is methods or powers were useless against you all. I wanted to see it on his face. The expression when all hope is lost. When one knows what true fear is. Then, I saw it and that was the moment for me to act. To save him from his impending death and making him use his shikai. In his haste and panic, he was less cautious and didn't check upon me at that time to ensure if I saw his shikai or not. But, soon he will and that will be a big problem. This could ruin our plan."
"Don't worry Naruto. We will find a way to solve this little problem." Nagato reassured him.
"Yeah, we will. This isn't even a problem, compared to all the shit we've been through." Hidan said to lift up the mood.
"That's the spirit, guys! We just gotta have faith in ourselves. Especially, in you, Naruto." Hashirama declared. Reminding Naruto of himself when he was alive... and a kind- hearted fool.
'Now no more. I've changed and not in a good way. Soon, the shinigami will witness the power of the demon they've created.' Naruto resolved with an intense fire in his eyes. A fire that would consumed and destroy everything. "We have to think something about it. Quick."
"Thought about it!" Tobirama suddenly shouted.
"Wha-? Don't do it again! You fucking scared us to death!" Kisame warned Tobirama.
Tobi looked at the others and saw them slowly inching away from him,"Hey! What the hell are you all doing?"
Nagato looked qiuzically at him,"What the hell are you doing!? We are talking normally with each other and you scream all of a sudden. If you want to give us a heart attack then you are doing an excellent job at it."
Now it was Tobirama who looked at him quizically,"What the hell are you bullshitting about? You are talking as if we have a heart. Remember or not? We are hollows and hollows dont have a heart!"
"The hell we don't have! FYI, we aren't any hollow. We are Vasto Lorde level hollows. We also have a heart. This is fanfiction for a reason, bro." Hashirama corrected his brother.
Everybody looked at him as if had grown a second d**k. He looked back at them as if they were lunatics escaped from a madhouse.
"What in the name of the Sage of the Six paths was that?" Hidan spoke, breaking the aukward silence.
"The hell I know! And it is not our world anymore so it should be 'what in the Spirit King's'."
Nagato looked at Hashirama,"Dude, you seriously have issues. If you ever and I mean EVER want to talk about anything, then, please DON'T ever come to me."
"Got it."
"Can we focus on the main topic now?" Naruto asked, drawing everyone's attention towards him and receiving their nods. "Good. Now, Tobi, what have you thought?"
"I was thinking about the hot babes that would be here, in Las Noches."
"You pervert! I was asking about the plan you just shouted about!"
"Oh, sorry. Well, I would create a communicator." Tobirama declared.
Kisame looked at him,"As much as I acknowledge the fact that you are a good scientist. I must say that this plan is Bullshatank. How would you make a communicator if you don't have the supplies and when we all are being monitored by Aizen."
Tobirama smirked,"On our way here, didn't you all see a dome shaped structure with green on top?" He asked, receiving nods from everyone.
"Yeah! The one that looked like a hobo's place."
"Yes, Hidan. That was actually a lab. Believe me, I could smell the intoxicating odour of chemicals coming from there."
"Oh, you better believe 's never wrong about this scientific shit. It's like he has a sixth since when it comes to these things." Hashirama praised his brother. "Though, he was wrong one time when we were still alive. He said he found a secret lab in the village but it turned out to be a new women's bath. It had a bad, very bad effect on him."
At that, Tobirama shuddered. He was still haunted by that incident. He had been so close of being... separated from his manhood at that time.
Hashirama continued,"Though, I wonder if it was a mistake or he did it on purpose just to take a peek on the women inside. It baffled me sometimes that how can someone so reserved and cool can be a huge pervert." He said, not noticing that his brother was trying hard to not to lose his cool but was shaking slightly.
Hashirama added,"It wasn't like he didn't get any attention from women. In fact, he was swarmed my them as they thought him to be "mysterious" because he was oh so cool and silent. Mysterious my ass! He's a huge pervert."
By this time, Tobirama was mentally crying,'Why me?'
"Whoa! Who could have thought that Tobirama was a pervert." Nagato said.
Hidan leaned in,"Well, how could we know about it. It isn't like Hueco Mundo many female Vasto Lorde or any for the matter!"
"Will you all stop talking about me as if I'm not here!" Tobirama screamed.
"Why are you always screaming?!" Kisame questioned him as he bonked him on the head.
"Sorry!"
"Aizen has a lot of arrancars under his command and some of them are females too." Naruto spoke.
Tobirama's eyes watered,'Finally! Some female companionship I've long for!'
"Aizen will turn us into arrancars soon and after that we would leave for a loooooong time to train, away from Aizen and his prying eyes."
Tobirama's eyes were still watery, but from hopelessness this time,'Why me?!' He vailed mentally. But then he realized something and his eyes widened. "Naruto, you're saying that Aizen will send us to that lab for Arrancarizing us and then I can make the communicator. No need for me to sneak up there!"
Naruto looked at him,"No,I was saying that you won't get any girls here. But, great that you have discovered the way to create the communicator. Now, IT is with you?"
As soon as he asked that question, everybody sat straight and the humorous atmosphere that was till now, had vanished completely. It was time for serious business.
Tobirama nodded,"Yes, it is with me. But it is very powerful to be contained for long. Your plan was good i didn't had to do anything except to hold you. If I had to attack Aizen and Tousen, they would have definitely noticed it."
"Good. It's very important for our plans. Now, let's get some rest. We have a big day ahead of us."
"Hai." The others chorused as they started to go back on their respective beds.
"And Tobi."
"Yes, Naruto?"
"You're a hopeless pervert."
"Why me!" Tobirama whined as others laughed at him.
Tomorrow would be a really big day for them. Well, not really BIG but you all get what I'm saying.
"Hey! Shut up author.I'm trying to sleep here!" Hashirama said.
"Who the hell are you talking to?! There's only six of us! Something's definitely wrong with you man. Now, sleep!" Kisame barked.
"Okay. But you should definitely control your temper."
"Knock it off!"
