"Hadou #4 Byakurai", Kageroza says firing lightning at them but it was simply absorb by Raijin surprising Kageroza. Ishida disappears.

"Hirenkyaku...", Kageroza says. It means flying curtain step.

"Are you a Quincy? It seems that my humble group has attracted considerable interest", Kageroza said.

"I am not interested in you. But of appreciate you not bringing your quarrels to this town. Withdraw! If you do, I won't harm you", Ishida says.

"I would likewise prefer not to turn this into a serious incident, Quincy. However, if you two insist on obstructing us, then I will be forced to consider you another enemy to be eliminated", Kageroza says.

"It wasn't my intention to obstruct you. Bye you see, I already consider you my enemies", Ishida says pulling back his arrow.

"As you will", Kageroza says giving a sign to tell his soul reapers he can handle it.

"I will take responsibility", Kageroza says and Naruto flash steps next to him. Both swing there blades.

"Ishida, you go long range and fire when there's an opening", Naruto said and both flash step at the top of the building.

"Very interesting I wasn't expecting this to happen?", Kageroza says smirking and Naruto narrows his eyes.

"Someone like you falling in love with Nozomi", Kageroza says smirking which results in Naruto glaring at him.

"Kaminari shūryō!", Naruto yells and swings his blade sending a black lightning wave at him.

Kageroza dodges it but then was strucked in the back by Ishida's arrows. Kageroza falls to the ground. Naruto flash steps next to Ishida on the ground.

"Well, that was boring", Naruto said and Ishida pushes his glasses up. Naruto turns to were Nozomi is still on the ground.

"So you have a crush on her?", Ishida says with a smirk and Naruto blushes.

"Shut it four eyes", Naruto says walking towards Nozomi and Ishida's eyes twitch at the remark.

"It's not over yet", Kageroza says and both stop and turn. Kageroza's body is gone.

"Where is he?!", Ishida says looking around and Naruto looks up at the side of the building to see Kageroza unharmed.

"Did you really think that you've won?", Kageroza says.

"His wound?!", Ishida says surprised.

"How is that possible, he was his by my Kaminari shūryō and your arrow. How is he unharmed?", Naruto said not understanding Kageroza's abilities.

"Fall into madness... Raikuu", Kageroza says lifting his cane and it transforms.

It looks like a duel blade sword.

"He's using shiki", Naruto said.

"There is no need for that. I have no intention of giving you time to analyze it", Kageroza says and spins his zanpakuto and it happens. Naruto's eyes widen somehow reacting to it and sonido's away but Ishida wasn't as lucky.

Kageroza is behind Ishida and Ishida's now disappears.

"Even from such a long distance... I didn't see it coming...", Ishida says and falls to the ground.

"How did you dodge me, for a second you reacted before I could hit you?", Kageroza says.

"Huh?", Naruto said not understanding.

"How did he... Before I could hit him he reacted on instinct?", Kageroza thinks.

"Hado# 4 Byakurai

Kageroza says and fires blue lightning at Ishida.

Naruto turns and the attack was blocked by an orange shield.

"My word!", Kageroza says and Chad appears above him and throws and a punch which Kageroza dodges but creates damage.

"Ishida!", Orihine says running to Ishida who falls to the ground

"Orihime, you take care if Ishida's wounds", Chad says.

"Ill try and but you some time", Chad says and Naruto flash steps next to him.

"I'll help", Naruto said.

"But time, you say?", Kageroza says and spins his blade. Naruto eyes widen and moves fast. Before Kageroza could hit Chad his blade was blocked by Naruto.

"Again?", Kageroza says.

"I'll handle him, you protect Ishida", Naruto says and pulls back his blade.

Naruto swings his blade and Kageroza spins his zanpaktuo and a portal appears in front of him which Naruto slashes and the portal disappears.

"I'm not done yet!", Naruto yells and is about to swing again when a portal appears in front of him and he sees himself swinging his blade in the same position he was stopped at. Naruto's eyes widen and is hit by his own attack. Naruto is slashed on his chest.

"What just... Happened?", Naruto thinks and Kageroza swings again but it was blocked.

"Good your here", Naruto said seeing Ichigo in front of him.

"Thanks for blocking the attack, but I can handle it", Naruto says and his hollow mask forms in his face.

"No, I can. You protect the others", Ichigo says and Naruto raises an eyebrow.

"Right how your not even strong enough to defeat me even with hollowfication", Naruto said and Ichigo turns to him.

Naruto sees the anger in his eyes.

"Fine what ever, you fight him but if you can't defeat him I'm stepping in", Naruto said and his mask falls to pieces. Naruto flash steps to Nozomi and holds her close to him.

"You ok?", Naruto says and Nozomi opens her eyes a little and has a a ball smile surprising Naruto.

Nozomi eyes close and she passes out.

"Nozomi...", Naruto says sadly and lays her down. Naruto looks very kissed at Kageroza and is about to fight when his felt Nozomi's hand holding his.

"Please, don't go", Nozomi says quietly and Naruto smiles.

"Yo, Ichigo! You've really stepped in it this time, haven't you?", Renji says.

"Renji!", Ichigo said.

Kageroza looks annoyed and Naruto appears behind him with hollow mask on. Kageroza turns and swings his blade as well as Naruto but Naruto forced Kageriza back with sheer power alone.

Kageroza heard a yell and sees one if his body guards defeated.

One of the soul reapers have Nozomi in his hand and Naruto flash steps next to him and cuts his arm off.

"Rahhhhhh!", he yells in pain.

Naruto grabs Nozomi and flash steps away.

"That was your own fault", Toshiro says appearing next to the soul reaper and his him with the hilt of his zanpaktuo.

Kageroza appears behind Naruto and swings his blade. Naruto ducks and jumps away with Kageroza chasing after him.

"Put her down!", Kageroza yells at Naruto.

"Never in a million years!", Naruto yells and his hollow mask turns to pieces. Naruto is holding Noxomi bridal style while still holding Raijin.

Naruto jumps in one of the factory's taller buildings and a lot of cherry blossoms appears behind Naruto going after Kageroza. Kageroza jumps away and flash steps to another building.

"They just keep coming our of the woodwork", Kageroza sayswith his two soul rappers appearing next to him.

"Big brother!", Rukia says seeing Byakuya.

"Byakuya!", Ichigo says surprised.

"Such a shameful defeat, Ichigo Kurosaku", Byakuya says.

"Yeah, he shouldn't let me fight him", Naruto says appearing next to Byakuya holding Nozomi.

"Shut up", Ichigo says standing up.

"Wait, you guys are the real thing, right?", Ichigo says reviving an odd look from Naruto.

"Well, duh!", Renji says.

"But why?", Rukia says.

"It ain't just us", Remji says smiling and more captains and vice captains show up.

"Hey what's up Zaraki!", Naruto says smiling at Kenpachi who smiles back.

"Ah if it isn't Naruto. I want a rematch after this ok", Kenpachi says and Naruto nods.

"Yea! Fishcake is here!", Yachiru says happily.

"Y-You're all...", Ichigo says looking around.

"That raw materials?", Kageroza says with his left eye twitching.

Mayuri appears in front of Nemu.

"What Interesting things you've been doing. Forgetting your place, for one", Mayuri says smiling evilly at Kageroza.

"Well, if it isn't Captain Kurotsuchi. You e graves us with your presence sooner than I expected", Kageroza said sailing.

"You have been terribly late with your report, don't you think? Thanks to you, I've been stuck rescuing this worthless bunch when I have far better things to do. Quite the thankless job. I look forward to paying you back for it. A million times over!", Mayuri says with his head leaning all the way to the right and Naruto signs.

"Well thanks... I guess", Naruto says.

"Most amusing, sir. You appear to believe that you've won, but I assure you you're mistaken", Kageroza says and his zanpaktuo turns back into a cane.

"This is merely a temporary withdrawal", Kageroza says and the senkimone opens behind him.

"You bastard! Wait!", Ichigo yells.

"Stop, Ichigo! The severed world presently under his control. If someone as pitful as you were to charge in without thinking, you would most certainly be doomed. Though if this latest folly is your way of saying you wish to die, far be it from me to stop you. It's exactly the kind of death I would expect of you", Mayuri says.

"Shut the hell up", Ichigo says turning back to Kageroza leading.

Kageroza turns to them.

"I look forward to demonstrating my true power to you all once I've reclaimed Nozomi", Kageroza says and Naruto glares at him and holds Nozomi closer to him.

"Over my dead body!", Naruto says.

"Your true power?", Toshiro says.

"That is when soul society and the human world will both fall under my control. Well, then, esteemed raw materials... And soul Reaoer substitutes. Let us meet again someday", Kageroza says and the gate closes and disappears.

"Like hell am I letting that guy control anything", Ichigo says.

"Has he even left that spot?", Chad says and Ichigo shakes his head.

"He's been there the whole time waiting for her to wake up. Nozomi's eyes open and the first she sees is Naruto and is smiles kindly at Nozomi.

"Your awake", Naruto says and Nozomi looks away and tries to get up but can't. She sits up.

"Don't push yourself too hard", Orihime says and Kon in stuff animal form jumps on Nozomi's knees.

"To! You sounded like you were having bad nightmares. You ok?", Kon says and Nozomi is just staring at Kon.

"Hey, age you listening to me?", Kon says pointing at Nozomi.

"The hell is this?", Nozomi says and Naruto bursts out laughing.

"Ahahah, that's Kon, so, any idea why that guy was after you? So are you a soul reaper?", Naruto says leaning closer to her. Nozomi looks away.

"None of your business", Nozomi says and Naruto signs.

"Ok, well he's a mod soul, he uses that body if he doesn't have Ichigo's body", Naruto said and saw Nozomi react to the word "mod soul".

"A mod soul...", Nozomi says looking at Kon.

"H-Hey now...", Kon says and Nozomi just stairs at him.

"W-What is it? Th-That aside, how about you just answer the questions? If you do, I'll let you borrow my minions for a while", Kon says getting closer abs about to touch her chest area when Nozomi grabs a flower pot and smashes it against Kon's head.

"Mega pervert", Nozomi says holding the broken pot.

"You bitch, what the hell was that for?!", Kon yells and Ichigo picks Kon up from behind.

"Pipe down", Ichigo says annoyed.

"Why should I? I was just trying to talk to her!", Kon says struggling but its futile.

"There's no point trying to force answers out if her if she doesn't want to talk", Ichigo says.

"But still...", Kon said.

Rukia enters.

"Naruto, Ichigo. How much longer are you two planning to make big brother and the others wait? Get over they", Rukia said.

"In not going", Naruto said gaining there attention.

"I'll stay hear, with Nozomi", Baruto said and Ichigo raises an eyebrow and Naruto blushes.

"I-I mean I will stay hear and protect her just in case they return", Naruto says blushing.

"Find. I'll go", Ichigo says.

"All right! Then lets go to the countermeasures meeting!", Kon says walking to Rukia.

"You should stay with the girl like everyone else", Rukia says.

"Whaaaaa?!", Kon says.

"They're still after her. We can't be too careful", Rukia says.

"But...", Kon says.

"This is a vital mission. We need you here", Rukia says.

"Yea-weeeeel, if its you asking, I guess I don't mind helping out a little", Kon says.

"Lets go, Ichigo", Rukia says.

"Yeah", Ichigo says leaving with Rukia.

"See you later", Orihime says waving along with Chad.

"Be grateful! Ahahahah!", Kon says laughing and Ichigo hits him on the head.

"Ow, what?", Kon said.

"Quit telling her to be grateful. It's all your fault for taking your eyes off her to begin with. Why'd you leave her in the first place? After everything Rukia said to you!", Ichigo says pointing at Kon accusingly.

"Uhh, well, the thing is...", Kon says embarrassed.

"Mega pervert", Nozomi says looking away and Naruto nods.

"You got that right", Naruto said.
