The Wind. The Fire. The Arrows.

Chapter 3: It begins & flashback training

One year later

"Hello Sado-kun" says a voice behind Sado as he turns around only to be glomped by a purpled haired girl.

"Hello, Rozu-chan" replies Sado as he looks to Rozu with a small smile gracing his lips.

"Ichigoooo!" screams Keigo as he rushes at Ichigo only to be clothes lined by him.

"Hey Keigo" says Ichigo blandly as Mizuiro walks up.

"Hey Ichigo, Chad, Rozu" says Mizuiro "Where's Akiyo, Naruto and Uryu?"

"Oh well Akiyo slept in, Naruto's went to have Ramen for breakfast again at the Ramen stand down the street and Uryu no idea" says Rozu as she let's go of Sado.

"Wow you can't tell I'm right behind you," says a voice as Rozu reacts without thinking and tries to back fist the surprising person only to have her back fist caught by Uryu.

"Oh Uryu it's just you" says Rozu dispassionately as she rolls her shoulders.

"Hey that's no way to talk to your sempai," says Uryu

"Oh shut up Uryu or I'll kill you," says Rozu when suddenly Ichigo, Uryu, Sado and Rozu feel a strong spiritual power land in Karakura town. (Sado knows about hollows and souls because Rozu told him when they started dating and after meeting Kisuke and Rozu shooting one of her arrows into Sado made him spiritual aware. With Ichigo, Rozu Naruto and Akiyo could tell that Ichigo isn't normal so they told him about everything they told Sado. Uryu joined the group a little after Naruto, Akiyo and Rozu started school.)

"That seems dangerous," says Uryu when the spirit power suddenly vanishes surprising the four of them.

"Hey guys sorry I'm late had something to take care of" says Naruto cheekily.

"Yeah that's alright, see Akiyo on the way here?" asks Rozu as she holds Sado's hand.

"Yeah said he'd be here after he took care of something," answers Naruto as the group walks to class

"So how far have you three gone with the 'special' training?" asks Uryu as they reach the door.

"Oh alright I can do it for more than seventeen minutes while Akiyo and Rozu can do it for fifteen minutes" says Naruto as they take the seats.

Flashback: three months after gaining their powers

"Hey Urahara, you here" says a gruff voice as he walks into the store.

"Oh Kensei and Lisa, I fought Hirako would of came but they sent you two, well that's fine there down in the training area" says Kisuke in a jovial tone.

"They?" says Kensei "Oh that's right three Shinigami turned into Visards didn't they" Kensei says seriously.

"Hai but only two of them are Shinigami, while the last one is a Quincy" says Kisuke

"Wait is that alright," says Lisa "I thought that Quincies couldn't become Hollowfied"

"That's correct but the three of them are a special case," says Urahara.

"How so?" says Kensei butting in.

"Well the Quincy, a girl isn't a born Quincy, she is an artificial Quincy" explains Urahara.

"Wait you made a Quincy," says Lisa slightly put off.

"No, no, no she, it's just that when the three of them went or there Shinigami powers she came out as a Quincy instead" explains Urahara as he waves his fan around.

"Ok so why do you need our help, I thought Hirako gave all the information of what we went through to get control so it should be easy for you to do that hear" says Lisa

"He did and we did try, but, umm, well it went sought of out of control when we tried" says Urahara sheepishly.

"What. Happened?" asks Kensei gruffly.

"Uh I give you the short version, after I talked to Hirako to arrange for some teacher/s I wanted to see if we could have one of them do it at least for a short while. So I had them gave up there Hollow energy and had them form them in to masks. When they did that all both Akiyo and Rozu went completely mad and attacked us, creepily similar to Hollows, which was strange itself since they have never met one" says Urahara as he breathes slightly after his long dialog.

"Wait what about the other one. You said there were two Shinigami and one Quincy so what did the last Shinigami do?" asks Lisa.

"That's the strange thing, Naruto the other Shinigami, just stood there while myself Yoruichi and Tessai restrained the other two" says Urahara explaining what happened.

Interrupted flashback

"Rozu-san can you please tell me the answer to this question" asks the teacher.

"Yeah sure it's…" says Rozu as she answers the question.

"Good now please pay more attention to the work we are doing," says the teacher as she looks back to the board allowing Rozu to go back into the flashback.

Flashback restart

"Then let's get started" he starts to walk towards the back of the shop and opens a hatch. Quickly jumping down followed by Kensei they come upon the site of Naruto and Akiyo clashing blades while Rozu fires arrows randomly at either of them, and with Tessai and Yoruichi watching from the sidelines.

"So there the new Vizards" says Kensei.

"No, but they will help us with Aizen" says Kisuke Urahara as they watch as Naruto is cornered but Shunpo's behind Akiyo and Rozu fires at Naruto only for him to jump out of the way and the arrow to hit Akiyo in the back.

"Enough!" shouts Kisuke gaining the attention of the three of them "This is Kensei he will help you with your Hollowfication"

"Ok so how do we do this?" says Naruto.

"Just do what you did last time but only you Naruto since I would like to find out why you didn't attack last time" says Urahara.

"Yeah ok" answers Naruto as he gathers Hollow spirit energy to his hand and wiped across his face making a Hollow mask appear.

"Well how are you feeling?" asks Urahara cautiously and curiously as he examines Naruto.

"Alright I guess, no funny feeling" says Naruto a she takes a small step forward before he suddenly vanishes and appears right in front of Kisuke, just in time for himself to dodge. "Sorry I guess I shouldn't move until I get my motor functions under control"

"That might be a good Idea," says Kisuke as he appears next to Kensei and Lisa "So what do you think"

"Well he has good control for someone who hasn't gone against their inner hollow yet" says Lisa to Kisuke and Kensei.

"Hey! Kid have you fought your inner hollow yet"

"What inner hollow there's nothing in my head but my Zanpakutō?" replies Naruto as his mask shatters.

"My turn, my turn" says Rozu cheerfully as she gets into a stance and goes into her Vizard state showing that her mask is a ANBU Panther. After entering the state her Quincy spirit bow (like the one Uryu uses when they go save Orihime) as a purple colour and she fires arrow after arrow, which cause mini explosions where they hit.

"Shit that girl is annoying," says Kensei as the seven of them hide behind the rocks that are in the training area.

"Yes but it shows that Naruto is the only one who doesn't have to fight his inner hollow" says Lisa as a particularly hard explosion sends rubble onto her.

"Well let's get this over with," mutters Akiyo as he disappears in a Shunpo above Rozu and slashes down only to have Rozu blocks with her bow before she starts charging a Cero.

Flashback end

'Ring! Ring! Ring!' Goes the bell as the class leaves the room.

"Rozu-chan what's the matter you seem sought of out of it?" asks Sado as he stands next to a still seated Rozu

"I'm just thinking of our 'special' training," says Rozu as she packs her stuff up and stands up.

"Really like what part because you haven't told me anything about it" asks Sado in a large sentence.

"It took me 14 hours for me to finish my training, and that's after the initial stage" mutters Rozu unhappily as they leave the classroom.

"That doesn't sound too bad," says Sado.

"Straight Sado-kun fourteen hours straight" says Rozu as they walk in silence until they reach the roof, which has Keigo being loud Mizuiro on his phone and Ichigo just sitting on his back relaxing, Naruto and Akiyo chatting about something.

"Hey guys," says Rozu as both her and Sado walk over.

"Yo Rozu, Sado so what's what" says Akiyo as he walks over "Urahara what's us back as soon as schools over"

"Okay~, so what were you doing anyway?" asks Rozu.

"Nothing much just took care of a nuisance and went to see how Lisa was doing," replies Akiyo as he sits down and opens up his recess showing a bento style meal.

"Oh so how's Lisa-chan?" asks Rozu getting a small blush from Akiyo in reply.

"She fine" replies Akiyo as he starts eating while chatting to Sado.

Flash back restart

'Cero' thought Akiyo as he just Shunpo's out the way of the Cero fired by hollow-Rozu. Before she quickly fires arrows at Akiyo, resulting in him thinking fast and Shunpoing behind a rock, before it's barraged with Cero tipped arrows courtesy of Hollow-Rozu.

"Akiyo you alright?" asks Naruto

"Yeah I'm just peachy," replies Akiyo the barrage stops.

"ROOOAAAARRRR" screams hollow-Rozu

"God dammit" says Naruto as he takes a stance pointing his sword horizontally at Rozu he incants "Ye lord! Mask of bone and flesh, yellow glow of creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man! Lies and peace, sky battles roar, March to the north. Hado #32 Okasan (Yellow fire flash" and fires a wave of yellow spirit energy at Hollow-Rozu from his sword, hitting her in the mask. Seeing his opportunity Akiyo quickly incants

"Ye lord! Mask of blood and flesh, all creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of Man! Inferno and pandemonium, the sea barrier surges, march on to the south! Hado #31 Shakkaho! (Red fire cannon)" says Akiyo as he fires a red ball at Hollow-Rozu, which followed after Okasan. Hitting her in the mask shattering it

Putting her back into her right state of mind.

"Argh what happened?" asks a groggily Rozu.

"You went mad when you activated your Hollowfication" says Urahara.

"Oh well I guess that explains, why I was fighting a hollow version of myself in my head" says Rozu as she sits down and breathes deeply "Ah so who's next?"

"That would be me," says Akiyo as he picks Rozu up and chucks her over to Yoruichi.

"Ok let's begin" says Akiyo as he activates his Hollowfication showing them that his mask is another ANBU style but this time Tora.

"Ok since I went completely mad, when I did it then" contemplates Rozu "Ah, I know" pointing her right hand at Akiyo she starts to incant "Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudo #9 Geki" after she incants a red glow covers Akiyo and stops him from moving. After struggling for a bit Akiyo stops and everyone relaxes slightly, only for Akiyo to release a burst of spirit energy, destroying the Geki.

"Shit, he broke the level 9 Bakudo with just pure reiatsu," says a surprised and shocked Naruto as they watch as Akiyo begins to charges up a large white cero.

"Crap Move!" shouts Lisa as everyone scatters, after a few more seconds the cero was ready and Akiyo fired it at the roof.

"Bakudo #81 Danku (Splitting Void)" chants Tessai as a clear wall is made in front of the large white cero just before impact with the roof. "Rozu Bakudo #9 with incantation and Naruto use Hado #32 with incantation" Tessai quickly as Akiyo's spirit energy keeps increasing.

"Hai" Naruto and Rozu as they begin there incantation.

"Disintegrate, you black dog of Rondanini! Look upon yourself with horror and then claw out your own throat! Bakudo #9 Geki" yells Rozu as Akiyo gains a red hue, hoping to keep him in place long enough for Naruto to finish.

"Ye lord! Mask of bone and flesh, yellow glow of creation, flutter of wings, ye who bears the name of man! Lies and peace, sky battles roar, March to the north! Hado #32 Okasan" incants Naruto as his right hand takes on a yellow hue before Naruto releases a line of yellow Kido flying towards Akiyo while Rozu keeps him in place, hitting him in the mask but only making a large crack on it.

"Hurry it's almost done" says Kisuke as Lisa Shunpo's in front of Akiyo and swings her fist at his mask, breaking it into pieces. Knocking Akiyo unconscious.

"Ah good he was harder than Rozu," mutters Naruto as he sits down.

"No he wasn't you were just exhausted from beating Rozu that you didn't realise that Akiyo was actually easier since he fights short range not long range like Rozu" explains Kisuke as he puffs a little, from fighting to hollowfied people after another.

"So Lisa, Kensei what do you think?" asks Yoruichi as she leans against a rock.

"Well they have a lot of potential so what would you think of us taking them off your hands" answers Kensei.

"You know that to of those people are awake right," says Naruto annoyed.

"So" says Lisa, getting a tick mark from Naruto and Rozu.

"So! It's our decision to make," argues Naruto.

"Ok, then make a decision, either one come with us or two stay here" lists off Lisa.

"Neither I think I'll go with one of you staying here" replies Naruto getting looks between Lisa and Kensei, before they both go.

"Rock, paper, scissors," says Lisa and Kensei as they keep their hands out, with Lisa scissors and Kensei rock.

"Best out of three" mutters Lisa as she stares at her hand with a wavering.

"Nope you lose," says Kensei as he walks off "I need some sleep Kisuke I'm borrowing a futon.

"Hai, hai Kensei-san we have more work tomorrow" replies Kisuke as he turns around so he's facing Lisa with a serious look. "Now Lisa-san let's talk about the training you'll be putting, them through"

"Ok" replies Lisa with a straight face but inwardly sweating like mad.

End flash back/time skip to end of day

"Ring, ring!" goes the end of school bell.

"Hey Rozu, Urahara wants us back early because he has something to tell us" says Akiyo as he walks over to the door leaving.

"Coming!" shouts Rozu in replies as she packs up quickly, gives Sado a kiss on the cheek and runs off after Akiyo.

Urahara shop

"So what is so important that you needed us to come quickly, and for me to miss basketball practice," says Naruto grumpily as he sits down with Akiyo and Rozu already seated.

"Well a new Shinigami has entered Karakura town so watch yourselves," says Kisuke seriously.

"Wait that's all" says Naruto shocked as he stands up.

"No I'm also increasing your training," says Kisuke happily getting groans from the three of them.

"But Urahara-sensei we have enough on our plates already" says Rozu "I mean Akiyo and Rozu have Shikai training, I have Quincy training, plus Kido practice with Tessai-sensei and hand to hand with Yoruichi-sensei"

"Yes well with the appearance of this new Shinigami I just want to be careful, also I'm not adding anything I'm just increasing the strength of the training"

"Oh well as long as a can still continue basketball practice" mutters Naruto sitting down.

"Hai, hai" says Kisuke as he waves the fan in front of his face.

"Ok, well if I hurry I can probably catch the end of practice," says Naruto as he walks off to basketball practice.

TIMESKIP COUPLE OF HOURS LATER

"Ah that was a good Ramen," says Naruto as he puts his 15th empty bowl of Ramen.

"I can't believe you convinced us to have Ramen for dinner" mutters Lisa as she puts her third bowl down.

"Yeah why did we have to bet against him?" says Rozu "We all know that he has the devil's luck"

"Aye, aye, captain," says Akiyo sickly as he puts his fifth bowl of Ramen down.

"Well there it goes, now time for Kido practice," says Kisuke completely unaffected by the amount of Ramen that had been eaten.

"What, please I beg you don't make us do practice at the moment" says Rozu unhappily.

"Either that or hand-to-hand practice with Yoruichi" says Kisuke cheerfully.

"Kido!" shout Akiyo, Rozu and Naruto before.

"Well we'll continue this tomorrow" says Kisuke as he gets up before the Naruto, Akiyo, and Rozu sense a hollow go off.

"Shit that's Ichigo's house," says Naruto as he goes into his Shinigami form and starts Shunpoing to Ichigo's Reiatsu.
