4th Seat

Our favorite Blond decided to visit the city of Suna, There were happy families, bright lights and even a large festival going on. He heard something about the festival being a celebration of the birthdate of the greatest Kazekage ever. Some guy named Gaara who stood up against the mightiest of groups in order to protect his city. One of the old men he was listening to was saying that this Gaara did this in honor of a lost comrade from Konoha.

Gaara, eh? Naruto mused Why does he sound so familiar?

Elsewhere- outside of Suna:

Ikkaku was getting bored with this whole waiting thing. He turned to his scarred companion. "Hey what are we waiting for? A signal? Some new hollows? You to achieve Bankai?" He whined in a totally badass way.

"Listen Ikkaku-san," came a clipped reply. "I am rather nervous about approaching this one. He might be one of those damned Vizards." The scarred one ran a finger over the diagonal scar along his right eye. A momento from his fight against a certain ex-Teichio named Urahara, A man who he was instructed to intercept.

The 4th seat then laughed. "Now even though you achieved Bankai, there is no need to brag that to me. If you want we can go at it when we get back but if you want praise go take it up with the Teichio."

The blond was suddenly seen leaving out of the gate. He was moving swiftly in their direction. More to the point he was running fast from two massive hollows. When he tripped. The 4th seat and Ikkaku jumped into action.

Naruto fell and turned in terror to see two figures standing over him forming a barrier between him and the hollows. Then the one on the left spoke. "Hey, Hey, Ikkaku," he said. "Mind if I take them, Kakumau has been whining about my kill count lately."

"Fine!" Said the other obviously irritated. The first one drew his Zanpakuto and slashed the first hollow in half before yelling "Halt them, Kakumau". The weapon and its sheathe merged into a large coffin shape with a pair of blades on the end. This he slamed into the ground before yelling Shimekukuru and then Kinbaku, causing the Hollow to be bound in chains and then be eaten.

The two then turn to face him. When they do, Naruto is struck by the familiarity of the first one's face. The man's hair was drawn into a Pineapple shape and a huge scar ran clear across the bridge of his nose. The man's own eyes widened in recognition.

His voice was clear even though it was a mere whisper "Naruto? Naruto it's me Iruka-sensei."

"Who?" Naruto could only reply. Before he could ask more however he was locked up in a bone crushing hug.

"I'd hate to mess up this moment." Ikkaku said. "But we need to get back to the Seireitei" The Shinigami then radioed in a transfer gate for three and after a while they were back at the Seireitei.

Several Hours Later

"So, you can't remember any of your past?" Iruka asked concerned. They were just about to finish the tour ending with the 11th division barracks. Just then a mad eyepatch wearing man raced out and dragged Iruka elsewhere. Naruto just blinked and stared as one of his few links to his past disappeared off around the corner.

"Did Iruka ever tell you why he was in the 11th division?" asked Ikkaku. Seeing Naruto shake his head, He laughed and continued. "on his first day here, during the tour I gave him Kenpachi-Teichou mock-attacked us, Iruka took him seriously and broke his arm. From that moment on Iruka was signed up as a seated officer for 11th the moment he graduated the Academy. Funny eh?"

After that Naruto was signed up for the Academy and assigned a room for his use during his stay at the academy. His power level was given a reading, he had fairly average reitsu levels.

That Night when he went to sleep he dreamed of a meadow, as he sat there, he stroked a fox with nine tails and watched a little fox play across the flower beds. It was warm and then the fox in his lap jumped up and bit his left ear.

Suddenly he was in the black abyss again. And that voice spoke once more. "We could connect in the dream for a little while but you must know you are far more powerful than just average. However I cannot hold back your might forever so I have sealed it for you to use at your leisure."
