Naruto sighed in frustration. He had just been informed from Hitsugaya-Taicho that Runia-Chan was to be executed by the Sokyoku. The Sokyoku! That was only for dangerous criminals or traitors. He also had this bad feeling. Like something bad was going to happen soon. And he would bet his own limbs that it had something to do with Ichigo or Aizen.

'Aizen Sosuke. That guy creeps me out. There just seems to be something wrong with him or he is hidden something.'

Naruto was knocked out of his thoughts by Rangiku jumping on him. They were both sent crashing to the floor. Once Naruto was able to talk, as her breasts were taking the air from his lungs, he yelled, "what the hell, Rangiku-chan! What was that for and will you get off me?!"

She got off him and crossed her arms as she pouted.

"You need to stop being moody. It's like you are sucking out all the fun from the room. Plus I hate to see you sad. You are my friend."

Naruto sighed before sitting back down on the couch that was in the lounge of the 10th division.

"Sorry Rangiku-chan. I have been thinking about Rukia-chan and trying to think of a way to get her out of this or at least lower the punishment. I mean come on. Killed by the Sokyoku. This does not make sense."

Rangiku nodded as she sat next to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"It will be alright, Naruto-kun. We will think of something. You still have a month to think of something. Now come on. You are going out with me and everyone else. We are going to drink and eat."

"And why am I going? Also who is going?" Naruto asked as she dragged him out of the room.

Rangiku thought for a moment before saying, "You are going because if you continue to thin k you will just get frustrated with yourself. So you are going to relax for a while. As to who is going there is Isane Kotetu, Resu Unohana, Izuru Kira, Momo Hinamori, Renji Abarai, Shunsui Kyoraku, Jushiro Ukitake, and Hitsugaya-Taicho."

Naruto's jaw dropped.

"How were you able to get the captain to come? He never comes us to eat or drink. He always held up in his office. Or at least until I prank him or give you sake."

She spoke without stopping, while still dragging him, which was starting to make him fill like a teddy bear. A giant teddy bear.

"I was able to finish his paperwork and my own and bugged him until he caved. Surprisingly it did not take that long. Only 5 hours."

Naruto chuckled to himself. That was Rangiku for yah. It took 20 minutes to get to the restaurant as Rangiku refused to release him. When they entered (or dragged in as is Naruto's case) they say ever one was sitting around a huge table in one of the corners of the restraint. Though Naruto saw that it still looked like there was room to move around.

"Sorry we're late," Rangiku spoke up as they neared, "I had to drag this big baby here."

"Hey I resent that."

Rangiku ignored him as she sat him in his chair and sat in the free one next to him. When everyone was comfortable again they all began to talk about different thing before their waiter came. After they had ordered they all talked to their friends.

After their meals had arrived and were eaten Rangiku ordered some sake. Once it arrived it was dispersed. Naruto saw the problem with this idea after 20 minutes. Everyone except for Restu, Isane, Toshiro, and himself were drunk. Naruto saw Shunsui and Ukitake were each holding a bottle of shake and singing some song together. He remembered hearing it somewhere but could not remember what it was. Izuru and Renji were trying to climb on top of each other for some reason and Momo was sleeping while also kicking them in her sleep.

He looked over to his left and had to keep his jaw from dropping. Rangiku was giving a very badly blushing Toshiro Hitsugaya a lap dance. He grinned when he saw that Toshiro seemed to be enjoying it as he did nothing to stop her.

'Oh this is good. I have good blackmail on Toshiro. I wonder if I can use this to get to some of the higher level Kido spells I have been wanting to learn.'

Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts about destructive spells when he felt someone place their hand on his shoulder. He looked up to see Rest Unohana's motherly face.

"Well, Naruto-kun, I think it is time to take everyone home."

Naruto nodded before standing and moving over to Renji, Izuru, and Momo, who were all now asleep. He put Momo on his back and pulled Renji and Izuru under each arm. He turned around to see that Isane and Restu had the captains of the 8th and 13th division so he turned to Toshiro.

"Hey Hitsugaya-Taicho."

Naruto grinned when he almost flew out of his chair in embarrassment. Rangiku was now sitting on his lap with her head on his chest. His eyes traveled to Toshiro's hand which had 'mysteriously' appeared on Rangiku's firm ass. When Toshiro saw were his hand was, as he had followed Naruto's gaze, he moved it so fast Naruto almost thought that it was not there. Almost.

"I am guessing that you will take Rangiku-chan home, Taicho?"

Naruto asked with his eye brow raised and his mouth in his 'Foxy Grin' as Rangiku called it. Toshiro nodded before picking up Rangiku picked up Rangiku bridal style before returning his face back to his cold and indifferent expression. As he headed towards the door he said, "You saw nothing Naruto-san."

Naruto grinned before saying, "Maybe."

Before Toshiro could say anything to him he had already shunpoed out of the building. The captain of the 10th division sighed before looked at Rangiku's sleeping face. He stared before snapping out of his trance. As he walked back to his division he only had one thought.

'I wonder what Naruto-san is going to want to keep quiet about this?'

(4 Days Later)

"Damn it. Why won't this work." Naruto yelled as he once again failed to do the new Kido spell he had been given by his Taicho.

'Blackmail is a very good think to have.' Naruto thought to himself as he calmed himself down and prepared to do his spell one again.

"By god do I play, Fiends like fire so do I swear. I am thy chosen by might! Give me thy divine might and help me defeat my foe. Hado 86: Blazing fire, Fox's Rage!"

Blazing red fire gathered in front of his out stretched hands. The fire span around rapidly before taking the shape of a snarling fox. It gave a silent howl before racing forwards into the wooden log that he had stolen from the research and development division. An explosion erupted when the fox made contacted with the log.

When it settled down Naruto grinned when he saw the destroyed log. He had done it. He had been able to do it. Granted he still needed to practice as it was still not at full power and he wanted to not have to say the incantation in battle.

He watched fascinated as the parts of the log glowed before moving together again. When it was done the log looked like it was in perfect order.

"Glad I took that from the research department, otherwise I would have to continue to find and make more targets."

He stood before looking around. He was in a large barren valley. He had stumbled upon it while searching for a training ground to train in secret. (Same place that Yoruichi takes Ichigo for Bankai training) He came here to train in his shikai and in his kido spells. It also had a spa/healing bath behind a large boulder. After having a soak in it he discovered that it healed his wounds even faster than his unnatural healing abilities.

Naruto shivered. He remembered when Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of the 12th division, found out about his healing ability. He had come looking for him and had wanted to dissect him to learn how it worked. Fortunately (or unfortunately in Mayuri's case) he was able to get to Hitsugaya-Taicho before he was able to get his hands on him.

'Though it took me 5 hours to get that creep off my trail long enough to get to Hitsugaya-Taicho.'

Naruto thought as he got out of the spa bath. Once he was dressed he headed back to the 10th division. As he headed back he let him mind wonder. It had been a week after that party that Rangiku had dragged him to. Not much had happened in that time. He had mostly been training. Though, he had been able to get Rangiku some sake when she was cooped up in her office. He was also able to pull a few pranks on the division.

'It was funny to see Hitsugaya-Taicho walk around the division with pink hair and not notice for 2 hours.'

Naruto thought as grin appeared on his face as he remembered Toshiro walk around the division with bright neon pink hair. Everyone held in the division held their breath when they saw him but, burst out laughing after he was out of ear shot. He only found out about it when Ukitake-Taicho commented on it when he came over to deliver some reports and chat.

'That was fun. Though running from a mad Toshiro throwing ice dragons at you is not.'

Naruto thought, remembering how Toshiro had chased him around the division using his Zanpakuto on him. Naruto was snapped out of his thoughts he felt a small body walk into him. He looked down to see Yachiru Kusajishi, the lieutenant of the 11th division. He had seen and met here a few time and found her to be a cute and mischievous girl. Though he knew never to anger her, as he had seen what happened when Ikkaku Madarame made her made. She turned serious and her pink reiatsu formed into an angry, giant, cat.

'I never figured out what Ikkaku-san did to make Yachiru-chan angry.' Naruto thought before turning his attention on the small, but powerful girl.

"Hello Yachiru-chan. Sorry about that. Are you ok?" Naruto asked as he helped her up.

The cheerful girl nodded as him with her big, innocent smile in place, like always.

"Yes. Thank you Whisker-chan. Do you know where Ken-chan is?"

Naruto smiled at her before closing his eyes and concentrating on Kenpachi Zaraki's spiritual pressure. After a few seconds he was able to sense it at the 11th division barracks.

"Yes Yachiru-chan. It looks like he is at the 11th division. Would you like me to escort you?"

After shouting "Yeah" and "Yes" she jumped up and grabbed onto his shoulders, like he had seen her do to her captain/father. Naruto could not stop the grin from forming on his face. She was just so cute and her happiness was infectious. As he walked he turned to his temporary companion before asking, "Hey Yachiru-chan, why are not with Kenpachi-Taicho. I have never really seen you apart from him."

She answered with her usual cheerfulness.

"Ken-chan asked me to deliver a report to Gramps, while he was fighting some new members."

Naruto nodded his head and looked back in front of him to see that they had arrived.

"Well Yachiru-chan I guess I will see you some other time. Have fun ok."

She nodded before jumping down. She walked to the entrance before stopping and turning back to Naruto who was looking at her in confusion.

She walked back to him before looking at him.

"Whisker-chan, can you come with me? I am sure Ken-chan would like to meet you."

Naruto smiled and nodded as he followed her inside. On the inside was a different matter. He was sweating and paling rapidly. He did not want to meet Kenpachi Zaraki. At least, not until he was sure that he could fight him to a draw. As he was sure that Kenpachi would challenge him to a fight.

Before he could come up with a plan to escape his fate he heard Yachiru cry out, "Ken-chan!" before rushing off and jumping on said person's shoulders.

"Ah, Yachiru what took you so long?"

She jumped up and down on his shoulder in happiness.

"I met whisker-chan on my way back."

Naruto started to sweat when Kepachi turned his attention on him. He resisted the urge to fidget when Kenpachi studied him with his one eye. After 5 minutes he started to feel uncomfortable.

"So you are the one that Toshiro-Taicho believes can become a captain."

Naruto's eyes widened at that. Hitsugaya never said anything about that to him. He looked back at Kenpachi when he felt his spiritual pressure increase. He saw that Yachiru was about 30 feet away and Kenpachi had drawn his sword. He was only able to think, 'Mommy' before he was forced to block his own Zanpakuto.

Naruto felt his knees buckle when the old looking sword smashed into his with tremendous force, but he refused to fall. Pulling his strength out he pushed Kenpachi back before jumping away and calling out his swords name.

"Purr, Oinari (Fox Goddess)."

His rose colored spiritual power increased before blinding his opponent momentarily. When it died down Kenpachi saw Naruto's new Zanpakuto. Kenpachi let a crazy grin come onto his face before crying out and slashing towards Naruto's direction. The force from his slash sent a wave of yellow spiritual power rushing at Naruto. When it got to him an explosion rocked the division.

Kenpachi frowned in disappointment. He had figured with the way that Toshiro had talked about him he would be a challenge. His frown soon turned back into his crazy grin after the dust cleared. Surrounding Naruto was a rose colored, transparent barrier.

"Kurenai Enchou (Crimson Dome)." Naruto stated as it lowed before disappearing completely.

Before Kenpachi could do anything else though, he saw the tails that were attached to the kid's pommel fan out behind him. He saw that there were nine of them now that he could count them. The tips of the tails pointed towards him before the kid spoke.

"Hado 54: Abolishing Flames."

Purple fire appeared at the tip of each tail. It swirled before it fired at the 11th division's captain. When the smoke cleared Naruto frowned.

'I had thought that that would have done more damage.'

Kenpachi stood relatively unharmed. His upper cloths were destroyed and he had a few burn marks, but was utterly fine.

"What the hell! What are you doing using them sissy spells for, boy? Real men fight with combat."

Naruto looked at him like he was crazy.

'Which he might be, a little at least.'

Before Naruto could answer his question Zaraki sped towards him at surprising speed for someone of his size. Naruto blocked and parried where he could and even had his tails try to stab him as well, but he still could not get a strike on the strong captain.

Kenpachi on the other had was slowly but, surely starting to tire him And he knew that if he did nothing fast he would lose. He knew that he would loose from the start but, there was no way that he was going down this bad.

"You will lose, my Beloved." His beloved spirit said to him as he continued to block and parry.

'I know that, but I don't have the strength yet to beat him. With more training I could but, as I am now I cannot.'

He felt her smile at him before she spoke, "Good my beloved, you know that you have limits, but you have yet to ask me for help. I can loan you my power."

'And you never told me this earlier because?' Naruto thought as he dodged a swipe that would have made him a headless corpse.

"You had never had a need for that knowledge but, I believe that you will need it much more in the future."

Naruto nodded as he stopped kenpachi in a dead lock with their respected swords crossed. Naruto thought as he stared into Zaraki's crazed but, slightly disappointed eyes. He glared into his eyes as he resolved strengthened.

'I would like your help my Beloved. Please lend me your strength.'

His spirit nodded before he felt new and powerful strength flow into his body. He pushed Kenpachi away and shunpoed away from him. He saw Kenpachi grin before hearing him speak.

"So you are strong. Though I wonder where this new strength came from. Oh well, more fun for me."

With that said he grabbed his eye patch and pulled it off. Yellow Spiritual pressure exploded off of Kenpachi's form but Naruto remained unfazed.

"My strength comes from my bond with my Zanpakuto. She has given me her power to increase my own."

Kenpachi did not lose his grin as he said, "well good for you. I though, fight by myself, as my sword has no name."

When he finished his reiatsu formed a yellow skull above his head. Naruto's reiatsu too formed a shape. A rose colored fox head snarled at the skull and Kenpachi. The opponents' stared at each other before they rushed at each other, knowing that this would decide who won.

Their swords clashing, creating an explosion. When the dust died down the crowd, that had gathered after Naruto released his sword, saw Kenpachi standing above Naruto. His Zanpakuto had returned to its sealed state and was lying next to Naruto. Everyone saw that he had a large gash on his chest that added to his already numerous cuts and slashed skin.

Kenpachi only had one injury. A result of their final clash, as Naruto was not able to cut him during their fight. A big gash was clearly visible going from his left shoulder to his right hip.

"Congrates brat," Kenpachi said as he sheathed his sword and started to walk away, "you will be one of the few who will be able to leave me with a permanent scare."

As he walked to the 4th division Toshiro and Rangiku were one of the first to reach Naruto. They saw that he was already healing so nothing was life threatening. It would probably keep him in the 4th division for a awhile. They gentle lifted him and then with the same gentleness set him down on one of the portable tables.

Once they had seen him off with Rest Unohana they headed back to their barracks to wait for their friend to get better.

Alright. I have finished this chapter. I hope you alike how I did not make Naruto to powerful. Some think I am doing that with my other story. I will tell you now though I am not. However I will do better at making the fight sense with Iron Fox.

Anyway I hope you all liked this chapter and the next one will be when Ichigo and crew join the fun.
