Of Demon Hunters and Shinigamis

By The Obsidian Blade

Chapter four-the flash drive, the snake, and relocation

Naruto was not having a good day. It turned out Sasuke told everyone that was on his side that he kicked Naruto's ass and that Naruto was begging for his life to be spared. That fucking bastard had to over exaggerate the fucking fight to hell. It really irked the blonde to no end that mostly everyone believed him. As he was walking to the front desk he was stopped by a pink haired woman about his age. Her eyes were sea green. Her hair went down to the small of her back. Her features were atrocious. Along with the fact that she was as flat as a surf board she had no curves what so ever she seemed to be anorexic which could lead to her endangering any team she ended up with. She also had this huge forehead that screamed 'dart board' to the blonde teen, if painted right.

Her name was Sakura Haruno. She was one of the worst agents of the League. From what he heard, every mission that she went on ended with her team mates saving her skin but barely. He really didn't understand how she got to stay a member if that was the case. She was probably sucking someone's cock for it the blonde reasoned to himself. He was silently whooping for joy that every one of his missions was a solo mission because they were usually suicide missions and there was no one stupid enough to go along with him. "Why did you have to humiliate yourself by fighting my Sasuke-kun? You know that he is way better than you so why did you have to do it baka. Maybe it's because you know that he so much manlier than you will ever be," Sakura said in a deranged voice. Naruto sighed at this.

"Haruno-san, could you please move? I have a mission that I need to get. I was personally told that I need to see the old man," Naruto said in a calm voice even if on the inside he was plotting ways on how many different scenarios could play out in her death. She huffed in annoyance. How dare this nobody tell her what to do? She reared her hand back for a punch but before it could land there was delicate female hand blocking the fist. Sakura's eyes fallowed the hand to Rin who had an angry scowl on her face.

"Don't you dare hit anybody in my lobby Haruno-san. If you do I will get you thrown out of the league permanently," the woman said in a bone chilling voice. Naruto was glad that she blocked the blow. While he may kill female demons that had to die he never killed a female comrade, no matter how much of a bitch the girl was.

Sakura huffed at the girl before taking her fist back and walking out of the building. Naruto looked at Rin and pointed towards the door that led to the other corridors inside the building. "Which room does the old man want to see me in?" the blonde asked. Rin giggled at his lack of respect. He really needed to learn some manners later on but for now it was funny.

"He wants to see you in the research room," she answered. "He called an all personnel meeting before you arrived, hence why Miss Haruno was here at the moment." Naruto nodded before heading through the double doors that led to the other corridors. Along the way to the computer room he started to think on the women in his life. Ayame and Rin have always been there for him and both were really kind. The question was which to choose. He admitted to himself last night that he liked both of them the same way. The real problem was which one does he choose. Rin was a teammate and she knew how to handle herself after his death. She was also around him more often due to the fact that she distributed the missions to him. But Ayame has known him longer and was also not a likely target to demons unless his enemies followed his every movement. It wasn't likely but it wasn't unheard of. He heard stories of high class demons trailing women members of the League and raping them till they got pregnant. What happens after that is unknown a lot of the time as the women disappear and within a few days there bodies are found with the womb tore out. It was a disgusting thought really but it happened.

The blonde sighed as he entered the computer room to see Tsunade, Shikamaru, Sarutobi, Kakashi, and two other league members. One was a tall man with grey that seemed to be in his early fifties. He had long spiky hair that was tied up in a ratty ponytail and reached to about his ankles. He wore a green suit with a red trench coat and had a head band with a metallic forehead protector with the kanji for oil on it. The other was a blonde haired man. With a weird green striped bucket hat. He wore mostly green, as well as the white haired man, but it wasn't a formal suit. It was more casual. He also wore a black coat with white diamonds on the bottom of it. He leaned on a cane slightly as he smiled at the blonde soldier. He noticed Tsunade was crying slightly. What was going on here to make Tsunade cry? She hardly ever cried and most of the time she did, it was in private. "Alright, what's going on?"

Sarutobi smiled at the blonde and gestured for him to take a seat near the computer that they were using. Naruto sighed and complied as he took up the chair. Shikamaru looked at the blonde before muttering troublesome and typing away on the keypad. An image of the snake demon flashed onto the screen. Below the man were a few facts that the blonde looked at weird. "This is the demon you fought inside the mansion right?" Naruto nodded at the question. The aged man sighed and rubbed his temples. "You're lucky to be a live, that man was a King class demon that goes by the name of Orochimaru. The man used to be part of the League before I was Hokage of this sector. I was his mentor along with Tsunade and Jiraiya here."

Naruto looked at the man shocked. The snake that he met back at the mansion was a King class demon and to top it all off, he was trained by the old man himself. How the hell did he survive that encounter with the demon? The thing was much more powerful than him and he had years under his belt while Naruto didn't even have half the experience that the snake had. He was very lucky to be alive if this was the case. "Then why didn't he kill me when he had the chance?' Naruto asked in a shaky voice. "I mean, from all the files I read on him, he hates the League so why not kill me?"

Jiraiya shook his head at the teen's reaction. "We don't know gaki. What we do know is that every time he's interested in something or someone, it's never any good."

Naruto nodded at the old pervert's words. He took a good look at the people in the room and pointed at the strange blonde with the bucket hat. "Who's he old man?"

The blonde chuckled at the teen's lack of respect and extended his hand. "I'm Kisuke Urahara, ex Shinigami and leader of the Karakura division, nice to meet you." Naruto shook the hand and muttered likewise. The blonde man now known as Urahara smiled and pointed to the flash drive that was in the computer. "As you have already noticed, the snake demon is not all we have called you here for. The file that you managed to get off the computer back at the mansion is very interesting in deed. When we looked at the file name, Artificial Creation we expected artificial creatures. What we got is a whole new concept entirely. It's not artificial as the name implies but more of resurrecting the dead, or more specifically, dead demons. As you're probably aware, demons and angels die differently than normal humans. It takes a little longer for a demon's or an angle's spirit to leave their body. When they do we usually know right of the bat due to the fact that they have larger reiatsu reserves. Now, when anybody, even if they are not human, dies, they are dead. There is no way around it. What Orochimaru has done is found a way around it which brings Soul Society into this war as well. However, when he resurrects a person, they're something different. What they become, we have no idea, but we are sure that it's worse than anything we can imagine. So far, what we have been able to come up with is that this was based off of trial and error. He may have used weaker demons and angels as his test subjects but now he is going for something bigger."

Naruto looked at Shikamaru as he rubbed his temples. "In short he is bringing the dead back to life but instead of them being what they were naturally, they are something entirely different."

Naruto nodded before pointing at himself. "If that's so then why aren't there reports of stolen goods? I am pretty sure he is doing this by chemical means."

Tsunade looked at him while rubbing her arm. "There are two theories we're able to come up with. One is that he was able to bribe the people into giving him his goods or two he killed the owners and now owns several businesses."

Naruto rubbed his temples slightly. This was just insane. Someone found a way to cheat death and he met the person face to face and managed to survive the encounter. And to make matters worse, Soul Society was now involved in this war. This day was getting better and better now wasn't it? "There's more isn't there?" Naruto asked as he eyed the occupants in the room. Tsunade bowed her head and allowed a few tears to drop of her face. He saw Jiraiya flinch slightly and Shikamaru get up and walk out of the room while muttering troublesome blondes.

Sarutobi sighed as he started to speak. "You're being relocated to Karakura."

Naruto looked at the man as if he was clinically insane. They were relocating him?! But why?! Hasn't he done well here?! Wasn't there a fucking war going on right here?! Didn't they need him here?! And yet he heard that he was being relocated to a new town. "Why?" he muttered. "Why the fuck are you relocating me old man?! Haven't I been loyal to you?! Haven't I done enough to keep my place here?!"

The old man sighed as he rubbed his temples. Yes you have done enough here but you are at risk right now. Orochimaru has targeted your life. You are at risk if you stay here. I have also assigned you to take three people with you. I will pay for all expenses and they do not have to be a member of the League for you to take them. Just go home and think about this. You leave tomorrow at eight a.m. sharp. Have the people you want to bring with you ready. Kisuke-san will drive you up to Karakura. It should be a four hour drive so you will appear there at noon. Don't be late."

Naruto nodded before leaving the room with a downcast look. Urahara looked at the scene with a blank expression on his face. "Well, that was better than expected." The rest of the group nodded at his remark. The man then turned to Sarutobi with a smirk. "The boy doesn't believe in Bijuu if a remembered correctly." The aged Hokage nodded in conformation. The blonde haired man smirk got wider. "Then Yoruichi is going to have fun with him." his face the turned serious as he looked at Sarutobi and Tsunade. "I need all of his files and everyone else's. His is so I can keep some medical tabs on him and the others is so I have a reference to anyone he chooses. I will b at my hotel room if you need me.

Rin watched as Naruto walked out of the door with a downcast look. She cocked her head to the side as the teen walked off. What changed his mood to this? He usually had a much more serious aura to him but now he had a depressing feel, like a dark cloud around him that blocked out any light or happiness. She sighed as she made her way to the blonde, trying to figure out what was wrong.

Naruto was so caught up in trying to figure out who he was going to bring with him. He knew that he could not ask Tsunade as she had to stay here for the med lads and such. He couldn't ask Shikamaru as the lazy shadow demon was head of the research division here. He could take Kakashi or Jiraiya but he remembered what happened last time when he took them on an extended mission. They figured away to extend the mission and then dubbed it the 'Get Rid of Naruto's Virginity' mission. They must have hit every fucking whore house in the fucking city. The blonde somehow managed to keep his virginity, pissing off the two perverts and getting them to request for another extended mission, which was denied. He could also ask Kiba but he was just didn't want to stay with the dog demon for any longer that he had to. So that only left three other people, Rin, Ayame, and her dad, Teuchi.

The Halfling was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he did not even notice Rin coming up behind him. When he felt her touch his shoulder, he whirled around with Bliss aimed at her forehead. The woman looked at him with scared eyes. Naruto sighed as he put away the gun. "Sorry 'bout that Rin, I'm just on edge a little bit."

Rin shook her head at the blonde's antics. "It's okay Naruto-kun," she said in a soft voice. Her face turned serious as she looked at the blonde. "What happened in there to put you on edge though?" t he blonde demon hunter sighed as he told her what happened in there. When he finished, she stood there shocked. She could couldn't care less about the fact that Orochimaru let him live. As long as he was alive and well, she was fine. It was the fact that he got relocated for safety reasons. She needed him here. She came to terms with her feelings for him along time ago. She knew that she loved the blonde. All she wanted to do was to see a smile on his face. She has rarely ever seen the blonde smile, and she loved it when he did. But now he was being relocated in the morning and she would most likely never see him again. But he did say that he was capable of bringing three people with him. The question was who he was brining with him. Her mind was running with all these scenarios of what it would be like if he chose her to be with him. She could claim him as her own and then things would take off from there. Maybe he would be the father of her children that she was going to make sure that she had.

Naruto looked at her with a slight smile as he brought the young woman into a tight hug. He put his head next to her ear and started to whisper into it. "Thank you for being there for me Rin-chan." She smiled slightly at the suffix at the end of her name. It sounded right for him to call her that.

She moved her head next to his ear and started to whisper in it as well. "You're welcome Naruto-kun."

A/N Okay, I hope you like the way I did the crossover. It is not the normal crossovers that you see really. Usually they are dimension hopping and stuff like that. I have done to others where it is not a dimension hop but a matter of relocation and barriers. But that is not the point; the point is that this is different from other Bleach Crossovers that I have read. In fact, there are few where Naruto is actually alive and everything. Usually Naruto dies and goes to Seireitei and becomes a Shinigami. I like to think of this as different. So if you have any ideas, tell me.
