I dont own Bleach or Naruto

Sorry for my absence.

--(xXx)--

The Soul King hadn't been expecting to suddenly appear in front of a blond haired man, but he wasn't one to fall victim to surprises and then stay that way for long.

The Soul King, or Ryujio, had immediately accessed the situation around him. It seemed as if a giant toad was fighting a nine tailed fox, with a staff of all things. (What was this clash of the evolved jungle book)

The man in front of him who had summoned him, he could tell it was a summon-it couldn't have been anything else-because he had felt the same sensation too long ago, had a large amount of energy that wasn't exactly rueitsu but was close to it, and even some of that was sealed away.

The man was blond with sun-kissed skin and a beautiful shade of blue eyes. He looked exhausted while his-well whatever that energy was called- quickly drained.

Two other men where in the vicinity. They both where older, one had long white hair and seemed to be fighting with, or incouraging, the toad. The other was aged considerably and, instead of fighting with a toad was fighting with a silver back gorilla.

The giant nine tailed fox seemed to be on a rampage, and out of control of himself. Looking closer and reaching into the foxes mind for an instant he immediately recognized the problem: possession. The Fox was being possessed.

Ironically the last thing he noticed was himself. A hazy mist seemed to surround him making an ugly frightening image appear to those around him of what he looked like. He furrowed his brow in anger and sliced his hand through the image to shatter it. He was not the Soul King to scare innocents.

All of this happened in a matter of a second. The blond gaped at him like he couldn't believe he was actually able to succeed in Ryujio's summon.

Ryujio looked to the man and spoke, his voice echoed like several people where talking at once, just like it always had. "Why have you summoned me?"

The man seemed to seemed to shake himself out of his disbelief before speaking. "I'm Minato Namikaze leader of this village, I ask of you to please defeat the nine- tailes." Minato pointed at the Fox who roared behind them.

Ryujio gazed up at the beast once again before looking back to Minato. "I will not kill a creature who is not in control of their actions."

Minato's eyes blinked before going wide in desperation and panic. "But please Shinigami-sama! Your our last hope! If nothing is done the village will be destroyed! Thousands will die! I-"

"I did not finish." Ryujio spoke calmly as he cut off Minato's desperate ranting. Said blond's mouth snapped closed audibly. With a wave of his hand time around them stopped. Minato looked back to the fight in awe and worry, for his senseis, before the Shinigamis voice made him look back over to the being in front of him.

"The..nine tailes..is being possessed. I will not be so cruel as to kill anyone off because of that." Ryujio gazed at the eyes of the Fox before meeting Minato's eyes. "I will not however, allow innocents to die because of the nine tailed fox either."

Minato contemplated this for a moment before it clicked in his mind. "Can you help me seal it?" He was hopeful. If the Shinigami helped him seal the nine tails than the village would be saved.

Ryujio nodded, glad that this man understood.

An hour later while time around them was still frozen they completed a seal that could hold the demon fox inside its vessel. It was elaborately curved and etched with a mixture of kido and chakra onto the torso of Minato's newborn baby. The seal was special it would hold the nine tailed fox inside the babe until the boy died, and when he did the Fox would still be held inside Naruto's spirit. Until the end of time the Nine tailed fox would only have one vessel.

Ryujio was proud, despite the horror around them and the fact that Minato knew him and his wife, who he unfroze from the time stop to get her help as well, where going to die to activate the seal, they where at peace with their choice. They where ok with sacrificing themselves to save thousands of people, their homes, and their son.

They interested him.

The boy, who would soon have to big a burden for his little shoulders placed on him, would soon be an orphan. They knew and they hated the hand they where dealt.

That's when an idea came to Ruyujio's mind.

"Minato, Kushina." They had been waiting for the Shinigami to restart time again so they could seal the Fox when he called to them. They turned back around, since they had been facing the Fox, to look at Ryujio.

"I- forgive me for being so bold, but I want to give you son a gift." Their eyes went wide and they blinked at him before looking at each other and back to the Shinigami. "You have caught my intrest. Your will to protect has caught my intrest. Your son has a bright, but also painful future ahead of him." He was looking at the sleeping babe in Kushina's arms as he spoke. He could see the child's future and he didn't like the start but the child grew up to be the savior of this strange world. He could see the change happening in the childs future if the parents accepted.

He would be just as bright as before, but instead of the boy shining like the sun, he would shine with the power of entire galaxy.

"Where I am from there are many others like me, various in strength, age, kind, power, intelligence, and influence. My gift could help him and them."

"What would it contain?" Kushina asked slightly worried. Ryujio, since he started speaking looked at her.

"In a way it would be like a summoning contract. Summoning instead of animals, my subjects, people like me. When he is young they will appear when he needs them and stay until he no longer does, once he reaches 15 he will learn to summon them at will."

Parental instincts kicked in. "How are we to know that whoever appears won't hurt Naruto?" Minato asked, but as soon as he just realized that he questioned the Shinigami he backed off and became a little sheepish.

Ryujio smirked and chuckled a little, "I can assure that they cannot hurt him, unless it is only lightly for training, and they will not be able to kill him. You don't have to worry, some can be brash or insensitive, but," He looked back to Naruto, "they would all care and want to protect him in their own way."

"What do you mean?" Kushina asked as she leaned her head down to lightly rest her cheek on Naruto's forehead.

Ryujio smiled a knowing and soft smile, the first they had seen on him, and spoke softly. "That boy is very special."

They stared before smiling themselves and nodding. A bright light flashed from Ryujio's outstretched hand and a small symbol appeared on Naruto's collar bone.

Ryujio looked them in the eyes. "I cannot stay much longer. I will give his future senseis the information of my seals along with who will take your villages leadership position. I will assure he is taken care of. I wish you luck."

With that Ryujio dissapeared as time started to flow normally again. He watched from afar as he implanted the information into Jiraya of the Sannin, Kakashi Hatake, and the old Hokage's minds, for them to be told everything after the sealing.

He watched from a mirror in his palace as Minato and Kushina gave their lives to seal the Nine Tailed Demon Fox into their son. When their souls left their bodies he grabbed hold of their spirit ribbons and pulled.

They appeared kneeling at his feet before his throne. They had no idea that their future would be a peaceful afterlife in the Soul Kings palace, and then later on become his personal body guards.

Later on Ryujio would watch as different Shinigami where summoned to Narutos side and smile softly at the grin that spread across the little golden haired boy's face.

A drifting thought passed through his mind and he closed his eyes while a wide smile took purchase of his face.

He had found who would be his heir.
