IQ- Hello Comrades! Welcome to the First Chapter of The King And His Soldiers.

But before I start, you have been warned that my depiction of Naruto stealing the scroll is different. So don't hate on me for that.

Before I begin, I have to give a shout out to RagnellAlonditefor letting me use some parts from his Fic Kitsune Storm.

So let's stop all this introduction and now, let's begin the First Chapter.

The Scroll

It was dark. That was the boy initial thought as he jumped from branch after branch in the forest. The boy carried a large scroll and normally his bright orange jumpsuit would give him away in a crowd, but somehow he managed to stay hidden. The boy was none other than Uzumaki Naruto, and the scroll he was carrying was the Forbidden Scroll that had been kept by the Third Hokage. Landing in the clearing he opened the scroll and looked at the first jutsu.

"Ugh, Kage Bushin... I can't even do a regular Bushin." he grumbled as he passed it, deciding to come back to it later. He groaned even more as he flipped through the other pages.

"Shuriken Kage Bushin, Mizu Bushin, Tsuchi Bushin, Kaze Bushin. WHAT IS WITH ALL THE GOD DAMN BUSHIN!" the hyper active blond yelled.

Moving to the end of the scroll, the blonde shinobi noticed two weird drawings which were adorned by a number each.

The first one was the outline of a panther that was outlined in teal and has a number six above it while the other was of a shark that was outlined in yellow but instead, has a number three above.

The boy traced his fingers on the logos and suddenly heard voices, Come... come to us. It was a female's voice but was soon interrupted by Iruka's own.

"NARUTO! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" he shouted.

The boy snapped his head to the direction of his sensei.

"Passing the makeup test?" the blond asked confused "Mizuki-sensei told me that if I could steal the forbidden scroll and learn one jutsu out of it that I would be allowed to become a genin."

Iruka sighed at this, knowing that Naruto hadn't done this to be mean.

"Listen Naruto, Mizuki lied to you."

"W-What? He told me that I could pass with this!"

"Man... I just can't believe you're that dumb!" screamed the traitor as he knelt of the branch with a psycho-like face.

"Why?" Naruto asked, confused and hurt that the sensei that he trusted had lied to him.

"Because I wanted the scroll! And as a reward for you doing such a good job, how about I tell you a secret!"

"MIZUKI DON'T! IT'S FORBIDDEN!" Iruka shouted clearly afraid of the outcome.

"What do you mean?" Naruto asked.

"Don't lie to me KYUUBI!" screamed Mizuki as he threw the large shiruken towards him.

Naruto dropped to the ground as he covered his eyes, waiting for the shuriken to end his life. But then all he heard was the sound of flesh and being ripped open.

The boy slowly opened his eyes and the scene before him made his eyes watery. Above him was none other than Iruka-Sensei. Blood slowly coming out from his lips as he just stared at Naruto.

"No... you're not the Kyuubi..." He reasped out as he tilted his head to face Mizuki, "He's just the container... not the demon itself."

Mizuki just laughed maniacally at his injured colleague. "Shut up Iruka! You always cared for the demon for god knows why! And this time, I'll end what the Fourth Hokage started!"

Mizuki jumped from the branch with a kunai in his hand. "DIE DEMON!" roared the traitor as he neared towards the two.

Iruka quickly turned and took out the giant shuriken from his back with a grunt and used it as a shield.

But to Naruto's eyes, it was all a nightmare. N-No! This isn't real! Stop Stop

"STOP!"

And with that, a bright light consumed the whole area thus blinding Mizuki as missed Iruka and fell with a thud.

What's happening?

The demon! What did he do?

As the light died down, two figures stood in front of Naruto and Iruka.

"Oi Oi, someone called us?"

"Grimmjow! Don't be mean to Master."

Mizuki just stared at the oddly dressed people in front of him.

The first figure is a tall muscular male with spiky teal coloured hair and light blue eyes with green lines below his eyes. His attire consists of a white hakama, a black sash and a ragged white jacket with an upturned inner lining of his jacket is black and the sleeves were rolled up. The male wears his jacket opened leaving his bare muscular chest exposed for everyone to see. The next was his katana that he left on the left side of his hips. It gave out this intimidating aura to him.

But what gained the attention from the three shinobi was that a hole that bore through his abdomen and a jawbone attached to the right of his jaw making him more feral that he already is.

But then, his partner's figure soon appeared.

The second figure was a female that has mocha skin, green eyes, blonde eyelashes and messy blonde hair with three braided locks. She wore a high collared jacket that covers the lower part of her face and downwards while showing off a good portion of the lower half of her breasts. It has a zipper that could be opened from bottom upwards. The sleeves of her jacket completely covering her arms with black glove-like covering her hands. Her pants were similar to her partner's but their eyes landed on the sword behind her.

It was horizontally across her back, it looks broad and short compared to the other katanas and her partner's. But other than that, she looks completely normal despite having a companion that looks like a total monster.

"Y-You!" He pointed at Naruto with fear in his voice, "You unleashed them didn't you? Demon!" He shouted as he hurriedly wrapped the kunai with a paper bomb and threw it towards the young shinobi.

With a blinked of an eye, the kunai was caught by the female and thrown back behind Mizuki thus exploding the tree behind. Her glare intensifies as the man just gulped his saliva for fear of getting hurt even more.

"No one attacks our master." Her voice was cold as ice as her companion just chuckled, "Hey Harribel, wanna beat the crap out of this ass?"

The one called Harribel just nodded, "Just don't make such a mess Grimmjow. Young master's eyes has yet to adapt to what you're about to do."

The male whose name is Grimmjow gave her the most 'shit-eating' grin, "Heh, watch out Master. This how you should act once you train under me."

Grimmjow with a burst of speed gave Mizuki a hard punch to the gut causing him to vomit out his own saliva.

Mizuki's eyes widened, S-Such speed!

But even before the traitor could land, a sickening crunch to his back sent the man flying up high. With that Mizuki just screamed from the pain as a barrage of punches to his face and body were given to him in mid-air.

Naruto just stared wide eyed at the scene before him. This people... they were calling me their master. But what did I do to deserve this?"

He went back to reality as Harribel went towards him and Iruka. She knelt before her him, "Master may I heal your Sensei?"

Naruto just gave her nod and looked as she healed his academy teacher with such ease. Her hands were coated in yellow-like chakra and she placed it above his wound and watched in amazement as it healed quickly.

A sudden cry broke him from his trance as he saw that Grimmjow planting his leg above Mizuki's head.

"Had enough yet!" Screamed the man as he spat at the broken man.

"P-Please n-no more!" Cried the shinobi.

Naruto just gave a sad face when he decided on something that will shock many if there were people who knew him heard what he said, "Grimmjow!"

Said man looked at his master, "You called me?"

"End him."

And with that, Grimmjow's grin became even wider. "You heard that! Say bye-bye asshole!"

"No! Please have mer-" The sentence didn't complete as the teal haired espada brought his foot through his head, splattering blood all over the forest floor.

He laughed as he walked back towards Harribel and Naruto. "This is what I call headshot."

Iruka couldn't believe what he just seen. Mizuki killed so easily? And with just hand to hand combat? This is beyond what he thought.

Naruto just smiled but it soon turned to a cheer when his two saviours knelt before him, "Who are you and why am I your master?" The blonde shinobi asked with cheeriness in his voice.

The one named Harribel answered, "When touched our insignias, you gave out some of your chakra. And with that you freed us from our prison."

"Prison?"

"That shit-hole of a prison was created to seal us until we released by someone. Which in this case is you. We are in your debt master." Answered the usually exaggerating man.

"But what are you?" the boy questioned.

"We are espadas. We came from a different universe and we came to this alternate universe when the spirit king decided that we have to move on."

"Spirit king? Espadas? What are you guys talking about?" Whined Naruto as he scratched his head dumbly.

Grimmjow just grinned, "Another story told for another time. But for now, call us when you are in need."

With those words the two espadas were enveloped in teal and yellow colours respectively. Grimmjow in his right forearm and Harribel in his left forearm.

The boy screamed in pain as his arms burned as if they were getting roasted. Iruka eyes widened before scuffling towards Naruto.

The pain then stopped and Naruto fell into his arms with a tired face adorning his usual happy ones. "Iruka-sensei?"

"Naruto... are you fine?" The brotherly figure asked as Naruto gave a small smile.

"Never better. Just feeling a little better. How's your back though?"

The man just chuckled, "Whatever she did, it healed completely. Now it just stings a little."

The boy just laughed, "Ne Iruka-sensei..."

"What is it Naruto?"

There was a hint of sadness in his voice as he spoke, "Will I be a genin?"

Iruka just sighed, "Naruto close your eyes." The boy doesn't need to be told twice but felt something heavy on his forehead.

"Open it."

The boy opened and his eyes met Iruka's bare forehead. His eyes widened slightly, Does this mean!

"Yes Naruto. Congratulations." Smiled Iruka, "Now sleep. The ruckus should have alerted ANBU by now."

Naruto nodded his head slowly before closing eyes.

Iruka sighed softly as he looked Naruto, before raising his eyebrows. On Naruto's forearms, there were tattoos of a shark and panther. Grimmjow's in teal and Harribel's in yellow.

The man deadpanned, Gonna have lots of explaining to do.
