NaruHina: Tales of the Shinigami

-chapter 4-

"Speech"

'Thought'

Jutsu/Kido

After their first mission to rescue the damn cat, they received a more worthy mission in Konoha.

"Orochimaru is invading Konoha again?" Asked Naruto-taicho..

"Yeah he is…" Replied Yamamoto-sotaicho.

"We will take care of him." Said Hinata-fukutaicho.

"We have to defend our home…" Said the recently appointed third seat, Uchiha Sasuke.

The Konoha Division made their way to the real world.

When the Konoha Division made it to Konoha, Orochimaru was waiting for them with a bored expression on his face.

"At last, I can take revenge."

"Not if we have anything to say about it! All who can use Shikai, use it! Awaken, Hikari-Hime!"

"Road to the Dawn, Amatsukire!"

"Ignite, Ryuenjin!"

"That's it! Man this squad needs more members to unseal their Shikai!"

"Hahaha."

"Why are you laughing, considering that you don't even have a Zanpakutou?"

"You're wrong. You fools are just too weak to make me use my Zanpakutou…"

"Why you! Let's see how you like this!" Naruto awoke his Wisdom Form and fired soma magic pellets at Orochimaru, who took the attack, but didn't even flinch.

"What? But how?"

"You're too weak!"

"Try this then! Firaga!" Naruto sent a dense ball of homing flame at Orochimaru, who took it and cried out in pain.

"What…what is this?"

"You're in the range of my divination! Hakke Rokujūyon Shō!"

Orochimaru was in trouble. Realizing this, Orochimaru defended himself as best as he could.

"2 palms!"

Two strikes hit the tenketsu in Orochimaru's arms.

"4 palms!"

4 tenketsu were sealed off in the legs.

"8 palms! 16 palms! 32 palms! 64 palms!"

Orochimaru had 64 of his tenketsu closed, but Hinata wasn't done yet.

"Jūho Sōshiken!"

"You are stronger then you appear. I may have to go serious! Kū no Tachi, Kusanagi no Tsuragi!" (Long Sword of the Heavens, Kusanagi Sword.)

Knowing full well the capabilities of the Kusanagi, the Konoha Division prepares to defend itself. Orochimaru unsheaths the Kusanagi from his mouth, grossing out those who had never encountered him.

"Did he just…pull the sword out of his mouth?"

"Hehehe…few foes have seen my Kusanagi and live to tell the tale…get ready!"

Orochimaru disappeared in a blur of motion, and struck down everybody who didn't use their Shikai, which only included Sasuke, Naruto, and Hinata. Naruto, after witnessing his team fall at the hands of Orochimaru, awoke his Valor Form.

"We have no choice…Kusanagi is too powerful! We have to use Bankai!"

"I agree."

As one, the captain and vice captain said in unison. "Bankai!"

Naruto was garbed in his Rokudaime cloak with his Teikiatsu bearing a key chain.

"Awaken, Master Drive, Hikari-Hime."

Hinata was dressed in a Hyuga clan robe, and her Zanpakutou as well as the light all around her became light shards.

"Kyuuten Hikire."

Naruto slashed with Oathkeeper. Knowing its ability, Orochimaru leaped to the side to dodge it, or tried to. He didn't anticipate the second Keyblade, as he received a scratch ark on his arm. Meanwhile, the light restrained Orochimaru by tying him in bonds of light.

"Sasuke, now!"

"Right! Katon: Ryuka no Jutsu!" (Dragon Fire Technique)

Normally, a stream of super hot dragon flames would escape from Sasuke's mouth, but instead, a super hot stream of a dragon's rage escaped from Ryuenjin, once again, powerful enough to knock Orochimaru off his feet. Instead, Orochimaru was severely burned and panting.

"Until we meet again…"

Orochimaru disappeared, and the bonds trapping Orochimaru became light again.

"Kuso! He got away again!" Yelled out the captain.

"We'll get him next time." Comforted Hinata-fukutaicho, who kissed her husband, Naruto-taicho.

"…" Sasuke went to wake up everybody else, including his wife. Sasuke's Shikai and Naruto and Hinata's Bankai faded away.

"You guys need more training. I want at least one of you, by the end of the year, to achieve Shikai. Hopefully, if Gaara and his siblings decide to join our squad, many more of you should achieve your Shikai. Meanwhile, the old team 7-"

"We're still team 7?"

"Yeah, you got a problem with that, Sasuke?"

"Not at all, Naruto-taicho."

"Right…team 7 will do any missions assigned to our squad…now let's head back to Soul Society."

"Hai." The squad said in unison, as they left Konoha.

Before everybody in the Konoha Division started training, they received a gift from Yamamoto-sotaicho, some new garb. The new garb had the same design, however once they swapped it, it gained their ninja village insignia and their clan crest on the back. Thus, they began training to unlock their Shikai.

Meanwhile, team 7 took various Shinigami missions, most of them involved slaying hollows. Sasuke was secretly training to unlock his Bankai, but he knew that it would take a long time.

The sand siblings, Temari, Kankuro, and Gaara, completed their third year in the Shinigami academy, and had received their own Zanpakutou blades. Their Shinigami training had somehow increased their own dormant abilities. Gaara could somewhat control the sand with his Zanpakutou, even though he doesn't even know the name of it yet. Kankuro was able to use his chakra strings to swing his Zanpakutou, almost like a puppet. Temari's Zanpakutou slightly displaced the air around itself while she waved it around.

The next mission that team 7 received delighted them so much.

-Flashback-

"Some people in Konoha have died. However, none of them have any trace of reiatsu, so we need you three to travel to Konoha and konso (Soul Burial) all of them. At the same time, investigate the cause of their deaths."

-End Flashback-

Disappointingly, none of the deceased people were anybody note worthy, however, a majority of them freaked out when they saw Naruto, and called him a demon that should have passed on already. Naruto smugly replied that he is already dead since he was a shinigami. All of them, upon learning that their dead demon was a Shinigami, decided to live in Rukongai, where the citizen's lived. However, before team 7 could leave for Seireitei, they found the cause of the civilian's death, a menos grande, or a giant hollow. None of their attacks proved effective, not even their kido did anything. Team 7 had to resort to Shikai to defeat it.

'We also need more training…' Thought Naruto.

Sorry that this chapter was a bit shorter then the others. It's hard to write when most of the characters haven't even showed their Shikai, if they even unlocked it. R and R. OMAKE

Tear was lining quite peacefully in Rukongai, but she needed some excitement. So, imagine her surprise when some villagers appeared in Rukongai. Better still, they looked clueless.

'This will be fun…'

The villagers got spooked when Tear, using a genjutsu, appeared before them as the nine tails, but to anyone else, it was just a red fox. The villagers cried and begged for mercy, which unfortunately, Tear didn't grant. However, it was all she could do to hold in her laughs.

"Fine mortals, but beware, I will haunt your dreams…"

And indeed she did. Both Rukongai and Seireitei heard screams every night.
