"Soul Society"
How are you here, I saw you limp dead in Jiraiya's arm. You did have a hole clear through you with blood falling.
"I know damn Sasuke bastard. I am dead boss" Bunta, Gamahiro and Gamaken looked around as they studied the people there.
And they are? Gamahiro asked with a croak following.
"Shinigami. They are like the ninja of our world. They keep the order" Naruto answered. The three toads nodded.
If you are dead then how can you summon us? You shouldn't have any chakra.
"I don't this is all Kyuubi's" Naruto replied
HAHAHAH HAHAHHA Gamabunta laughed out. The shinigami as well as the other toads looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
Even in death that blasted fox is still trapped. I guess Minato's seal really works then.
"Yes, he's actually the spirit of one of my Zanpakutous." Naruto said raising his blade to show the toad boss. He could tell this sword radiated chakra of the foulest extent.
Alright kid time for us to go. Naruto looked down at Bunta's eyes.
"So what's going on back home"
A war is about to start
"What! Who Where?"
Hehe, You have your own matters to attend to here. If things get bad Tatsu will come and get you.
"Thanks boss." Naruto said. He turned to the gathered shinigami "Gamaken" The said toad bowed before returning to his world. Naruto turned to his left. "Gamahiro" The toad croaked and he too left.
"And the toad king Gamabunta" Naruto said pointing behind him. Bunta grunted before he too left. Naruto fell to the ground with a practiced ease having done that many times before.
Naruto landed in a heap and transferred to a sitting position. He looked over at Kenpachi who was on his back with Yachiru standing at his side. He was grinning as Isane worked on him. The other shinigami walked closer so that they could hear.
"They got away." Naruto said
"Don't worry we'll get them" he replied
"And next time I think I might have to take some of the fun" Yachiru said as she swung her little sword above her head.
"Than there wouldn't be any for me," Kenpachi said annoyed
"You can have mine" Naruto said grinning as he fell to his back and reverted to his normal form.
"Hey don't forget us" Ikkaku said as he and Yumchika now stood behind Yachiru. Tatsuki who was now awake but still groggily was helped over to Naruto by Orihime and she fell on top of Naruto in an awkward hug.
"Whoa, don't forget the rest of the divisions." Renji barked
"Don't worry the eleventh can handle it, wouldn't want anyone getting dirty." Kenpachi said raising one arm with RanMyaku in it. Yachiru knocked his hand back to the ground and scolded him. Yamamoto tapped his cane on the ground. Everyone stopped laughing and looked towards their general.
"It seems that we have all been fooled by these traitors. We must stay on a high alert, with the loss of 3 captains and numerous injured, Soul society is at its weakest in many years." Everyone nodded as he said this.
"Naruto Namikaze Uzumaki" Naruto sat up straight and looked at Yamamoto.
"You did exceptionally well today. With the release of your Bankai you now have the qualities needed to become a captain." Naruto looked at him with a shocked look. The other captains smiled at Naruto's fortune.
"No thanks" was his quick and blunt reply. Everyone except those of the 11th looked at him confused. Kenpachi held a hand over his mouth trying to stifle his laughter.
"Maybe in a few more years or something, but for now I'm staying right where I am" Naruto said confidently. Yamamoto opened his eyes and looked at the young shinigami for a few seconds. Kenpachi burst out laughing unable to control himself.
"Very well then, since you are so determined in your answer we will wait until you are ready" Yamamoto turned and began to walk away. "There will be a captains meeting tomorrow at 10 o clock in the morning"
"Good work Naruto" Shunsui said placing a hand on his head.
"Impressive Bankai, you have there" Ukitake said as he walked by.
"Thanks" Naruto replied grinning.
"I am amazed Naruto that you are able to use chakra here in the afterlife. It will sure give you an edge over everyone"
"Yea it will. Hey wait you can teach me some Jutsu right?"
Sarutobi thought about it for a minute. " I guess I could but it would only be the hand seals and what I remembered. I can't perform the Jutsu anymore"
"Thanks Gramps" Naruto said closing his eyes imagining all he could do.
The various other captains each gave their words and left to return to their barracks.
"Alright let's head home"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto leaned up out of his bed with a yawn. He looked around expecting to see someone rooming with him.
"Wonder where Ichigo went"
Naruto stood and got dressed and geared up as he began to stumble to the kitchen.
"Move over you bald headed freak!"
"Out of the way strawberry"
Naruto looked down the hallway to see Ichigo and Ikkaku trying to shove past each other to be the first to the kitchen.
"Morning Narutooo" Orihime and Tatsuki called from behind Ichigo and Ikkaku.
"Good morning."
Bam…..Crash…..Rip
Ichigo and Ikkaku were now on top of each other on the floor.
"Hey Yachiru"
Yachiru bounded over them and made sure to step on their heads. She landed next to Naruto and grabbed his hand pulling him along. Orihime and Tatsuki also walked over them
"Ow, she's strong" Ichigo grumbled from under Ikkaku.
"Yea"
"Good morning Ikkaku, Ichigo" Yumchika said as he tip toed around the two on the floor. Chad and Ishida followed suit, and avoided the downed shinigami.
"Will you get off me now" Ichigo growled.
"What you think I like being in this position." Ikkaku yelled back as he began to wrestle again with Ichigo.
"Will you two get a room"
They both immediately stopped and looked up at Kenpachi who looked at them with a confused look.
Kenpachi just sighed and kicked them both toward the kitchen where they rolled and landed by the table. The others who were already eating looked up and then continued eating.
"Guess Kenpachi found them" Naruto said taking a piece of bacon from the platter.
Yachiru reached over and swiped the piece of bacon from Naruto and ate it with a grin. Naruto looked back at the little vice captain who beamed right back at Naruto. There was one piece of bacon left on the plate. Naruto and Yachiru were staring at each other.
Naruto moved first and Yachiru followed right after and hit the plate first. They both looked closer at noticing the bacon was gone. They looked up as Tatsuki munched on it with a smile.
"That was minnneeee" Yachiru whined causing everyone to look at her. Tatsuki stopped chewing and looked at the vice captain with a confused look.
"O hush Yachiru-chan, I brought more" Yumchika said as he set down a whole platter in front of the little girl and another in the middle of the table.
"Yay" she cried causing everyone to chuckle.
"Alright, as much fun as this week has been, it's time for you humans to return to your world." Kenpachi said setting down his cleared plate.
"We wouldn't want to fall behind in school" Orihime said in a scholarly way.
"You know I might ask for patrol duty for that area again. It was fun there" Naruto said thinking.
A knock at the door was heard and Ikkaku got up to answer it as it was flung open in his face. Yorouchi walked in with a smile.
"Ready to go guys" She asked and everyone nodded and got up.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The Ryoka stood in front of Yamamoto who wore a grandfatherly smile. The other captains were gathered as well as a few lieutenants.
"It seems that we are in your debt for your help with this fiasco. You will always be welcome back as long as you don't cause any problems." He finished with a grin. Ukitake stepped forward.
"Ichigo Kurosaki." He withdrew a badge from his pocket. "This badge signifies you as a substitute shinigami. It will also allow you to release your soul reaper form from your body."
Ichigo hung the badge at his waist "Thanks a lot"
"The rest of you all have your own unique powers. Use them well. We may need your assistance in the future" Yamamoto said as Ukitake opened the portal that would lead them back to Karakura. Everyone said their goodbyes and started to walk through the portal. Tatsuki gave Naruto a hug.
"I hope you come visit" She said looking up at him slightly.
"I will trust me"
"I do" She leaned up and kissed him on the cheek. Naruto smiled and took the necklace from Tsunade and put it around Tatsuki's neck.
"This was from my granny back home. Keep it safe for me"
"Thank You Naruto-kun" Tatsuki gave him another hug. A flash went off and they both looked up to see Yachiru sitting on Kenpachi's shoulder with a camera. They both grinned.
"Alright see you Naruto-kun" Tatsuki called as she caught up to the others who had already left to go home.
The portal closed and everyone began to walk away. Yachiru appeared in front of Naruto.
"Good picture Naruto, I am going to make a really realy big one" she said stretching her arms for an example.
"He he thanks?"
"O and Naruto" Yachiru said as she ran over to Yamamoto.
"Yea?"
"It's time to fight ken-chan" She called with a wave. Naruto gulped and rolled to the side as Kenpachi's sword occupied his previous position.
"Right now?" Naruto pleaded
"Don't tell me you are afraid" He exclaimed and began swinging his wildly coordinated attacks.
"Of Yachiru maybe, not you" he teased causing Kenpachi to grin.
He swung down and Naruto swung upwards blocking and parried Kenpachi to the side. Naruto reached forward to grab him but he was punched away by Kenpachi's free hand.
Naruto rolled on the ground and then flipped to a standing position. Naruto pointed the katana forward.
Sing to the Heavens: Shugotenshi
Roar down through Hell: Kyuubi
Naruto now adorned his sword and shield and stood across from his captain. Naruto's short sword glowed as the fire of Kyuubi swirled around it.
Spread to the Ends of the Earth: RanMyaku
Kenpachi's blade now pulsed with black energy as it leaked from the sword. The captains looked in amazement at Kenpachi's sword. It gave off an aura of death that seemed to chill them to the bone.
They met in a ball of black and red. Kenpachi spun and swung down. Naruto raised his shield and moved towards Kenpachi with his short sword scraping the ground. Kyuubi met flesh as he sliced him in the chest. When the blade had moved above his shoulder Kenpachi pulled RanMyaku towards him and trapped Naruto with his shield pressing into his back. Kenpachi grabbed him by the head and tossed him into the air.
"Better watch out"
Chaos Wave
The pitch-black crescent moon flew towards Naruto who dangled in the air. He maneuvered his shield below him.
Tenrai Kouken
A wall of water extended from the sides of the shield and blocked Kenpachi's attack.
Fox Fire
A bluish orange ball of flame raced towards Kenpachi who grinned in his normal madman way. He moved his free hand to his sword and gripped it with both hands.
The captains caught the action and wondered on its result. Yamamoto grinned. He knew that Kenpachi would need this technique.
Chaos Wave
The black energy sliced the fireball in two with no resistance as it sailed towards Naruto at a speed much greater than the first one. An explosion occurred where Naruto once stood in the air.
Summoning Jutsu
Kenpachi and the other captains wondered at what would come forth. A small metal object landed in front of Kenpachi. He looked up to see Many more of them coming down. He never moved though as they all landed harmlessly around him in a large circle.
"Kunai!!" Yachiru shouted and pointed as she jumped on Yamamoto's shoulder.
"This is the strongest attack in the ninja world. " Sarutobi called.
Ten Naruto's descended in his Bankai form. Kenpachi grinned as he began to dispatch the clones one by one. Kenpachi sliced the last clone and stood wondering where Naruto is.
"Don't tell me you have become a coward." He taunted
"No just preparing" He said as he walked into everyone's view. He reached to his back and pulled out his Waikaizashi. It pulsed Red energy off of it in a rhythm.
"I haven't done this in a while so I'm still getting the hang of it." Naruto explained.
Naruto stood straight and his ethereal wings tightened.
Flying Thunder God
Naruto blurred away with a black remainder of light. He appeared under Kenpachi and punched him in chest. Kenpachi swung and hit air. Naruto kicked him in the back and Kenpachi swung again.
"That speed is amazing" Soi Fon commented.
"It seems he is very fast," Yamamoto said.
Kenpachi was taking a beating and reached out with one hand and grabbed Naruto's leg. He threw him to the ground where he landed in a crater and a cough. Kenpachi swung down and Naruto grabbed RanMyaku with his left hand as the white plates glowed contrasting RanMyaku's black aura. Naruto rolled slightly and let the blade crash into the ground next to him. Kenpachi swung again but Naruto was already gone.
Kenpachi stood up straight. "You asked for it Naruto"
Naruto stood across from him panting heavily. "How so?"
Kenpachi grinned and looked back at Yamamoto. "I could use some help"
Yamamoto and the other captains raised their eyes as Kenpachi looked at the general.
Naruto skid back past Kenpachi with an oomph. Kenpachi smiled down as Yachiru stood on Kenpachi's shoulder with her Zanpakutou drawn.
"I get to fight yay" The little girl squealed. All of the other captains were watching with interest because they had never seen little Ychiru fight before.
She disappeared from Kenpachi's shoulder and moved to kicked Naruto in the back. Naruto blurred away using the Flying Thunder God and threw his hands up to block a strike from Yachiru. She landed on the ground and then kicked out at Naruto who was already gone.
"Damn you are fast Yachiru" Naruto panted as he stood behind Kenpachi who grinned at his 'daughter'.
"I hope you aren't done Naruto" She said with a frown.
He and yachiru disappeared and were met in the middle with their zanpoktous locked in combat. Kenpachi arrived and swung down at Naruto. His left hand grabbed Yachiru's blade as Naruto spun and blocked RanMyaku with Kyuubi. Naruto continued in his twirl and smashed Yachiru into Kenpachi's stomach. They both flew back with a grunt while Yachiru got right back up.
"This might hurt a little Captain" Naruto called as Kenpachi was already charging him.
Fox Fire
The blast of fire met Kenpachi head on and caused no damage. When Kenpachi cleared the smoke he saw Naruto had moved back and sheathed his sword. He was now moving his hands fast and in an odd manor.
Aerial Combustion.
Kenpachi flew back hard. He felt as if the gravity around him had multiplied a hell of a lot in that short amount of time.
Naruto ducked as Yachiru appeared ready to kick Naruto's face. He turned to the side as a thrust from Yachiru cut his chest. Naruto spun away from Yachiru.
Mass Shadow Clone
The area became engulfed in black and white as Hundreds of Naruto's now stood opposing them.
Many pops could be heard as Yachiru was sprinting around and dispersing the clones at a ridiculous pace. Kenpachi reached up and tore off his eye patch. The sudden burst of energy destroyed all the clones.
"Wow he's good ken-chan" Yachiru said as she stood next to her captain.
"Yea, now where did he go" He grunted.
Everyone but Kenpachi and Yachiru noticed the sudden appearance of the captain of the 12th division.
"Where did he run off to now?" Kenpachi said angry.
"You must have scared him with your looks." Kurosatshi called.
Kenpachi looked over his shoulder to glare at the captain insulting him. Sarutobi was the only one who caught on.
"It seems he must not think of you as a good use of time" He taunted more. Yachiru kicked him in the face only to have him disappear in a poof of smoke.
"Huh? I thought I kicked the weird man" she said with a finger to her mouth.
Naruto appeared behind Kenpachi by use of the flying thunder god and stabbed Kenpachi in the back.
He turned quickly and grasped Naruto in his hand. "it seems you are out of energy. I guess we have to work on that."
"Yea, I never expected Yachiru to be as fast as the Flying Thunder God." Naruto said with pants of exhaustion"
"You done?" Kenpachi asked
"Not yet." Naruto twirled and kicked himself free of Kenpachi's grip. Yachiru appeared and kicked him straight up.
Chaos Wave
Naruto cursed as he was hit full force with the blast from Kenpachi. He fell back to the ground in a heap of limbs.
Naruto stood up. He fell back to one knee as his wings hovered behind him.
"Is that enough captian?" Naruto asked
Kenpachi looked at Naruto with a serious face. "For now I guess it is." Naruto immediately fell back while reverting back to normal. Yachiru was at his side in an instant. She poked him in the tummy.
"Is he dead?" She asked
"No, just exhausted." Kenpachi said.
"ohhh"
"Let's go back to the barracks." Kenpachi said as he hefted Naruto over his shoulder. Ikkaku and Yumchika followed right behind Kenpachi on the right or left. Yachiru appeared on Kenpachi's other shoulder.
"That concludes our show! Until Next time" She yelled while waving and giving a bow.
The other chuckled at the girl's antics before they took returned to their bases, all thinking about naruto.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A mighty woman walked towards the edge of the tower. A podium set in front of her. Below stood many people. Behind her and hidden from view a large man sighed as he walked away.
She walked right to the edge.
"War has been declared"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ichigo walked down the street towards his school. He felt alone, no longer was the loudmouth blonde kid walking with him. The two of them were know throughout the school as the toughest kids and no one messed with them or their friends. He wondered what it would be like now that Naruto was gone.
Of course the others were strong in their own right, but there was those without powers who could be harmed. He stopped and looked up at the sky.
"I hope you come back"
"Me too." Chad said joining him in looking to the sky.
"He said he would, so don't worry" Chad comforted as he continued his walk.
Ichigo was seated across from the seat now occupied by Rukia. She had moved from the back of the class and taken Naruto's spot for the past two months. Everyone came in and sat down. Ichigo could hear the whispers of Naruto's whereabouts.
The teacher strolled into the classroom merrily like she did every day.
"Good morning class." She announced and immediately noticed the absence of Naruto.
"Well it seems we will finally be able to get some work done now."
Some students laughed while a small few knew that he probably wouldn't be back in the class ever.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
In soul society 2 people hurried through a portal. Three others walked away grinning all for the same reason. They would have peace and quiet, for a while at least.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"It seems that within a month's time, the armies of our enemies will be upon us. Our best ninja are out protecting our allies from the sand in their trek here."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ichigo was twirling his pencil. He couldn't concentrate at all. He turned and saw that Tatsuki had her head down and her eyes were a little red. He guessed that she was crying through the night. It was now that Ichigo finally noticed the necklace around her neck. Tatsuki noticed Ichigo staring and smiled at him.
"Don't worry, he'll come back" Ichigo whispered.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Even though the village hidden in the sands has been destroyed, many of their populace has escaped, over 95%. They are on their way here. This is where we will make our stand.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Ichigo was now tapping his pencil in annoyance as he had just answered a question incorrectly.
He gave the answer of 'Cheese' to an algebra question not really feeling like learning today.
A knock at the door had him awake in a second. Everyone was glad for an interruption. The teacher who had been in the back of the classroom answered 'coming' as she walked towards the door.
"Oww, stop it sis"
"Get off"
BAM
"Go in already"
"I can't leave you running around"
BAM
The door splintered just before the teacher could open it. A student seemed to be underneath the remains of the door.
"O My God. Are you Ok" the teacher asked.
"He's fine, he just doesn't want me to kick his butt anymore" a short girl said as she walked in the doorway.
"Hi everyone!!" She waved
"Um how old are you?" a random student asked.
"Ummmmm" She had one hand up and was counting on her fingers. She showed the class five fingers as she exclaimed 12.
"That hurt you little" the person under the debris tackled the girl back through the wall and more wrestling could be heard outside the class.
"Ok, ok I give I'll stop" the boy pleaded.
A resounding smack was heard as he was sent back through the door.
The kid sat up with a red handprint on his face. "Owwww, Yachiru-chan you didn't have to hit me so hard"
"Naruto!" Ichigo and Tatsuki exclaimed.
"Well. If you are finished Naruto you can take a seat in the back." The teacher ordered. Naruto got up and walked to his seat waving to everyone.
"Now for you, where do you belong" the teacher said as she turned around to ask Yachiru but couldn't find her.
"Right here teacher-lady" she said waving from a now occupied seat next to Naruto and behind Orihime.
"She's really smart even though she acts nothing like it" Naruto said. Yachiru stabbed him in the top of his hand with a pencil causing Naruto to scream. He turned his hand upside down and the pencil was still stuck in his hand.
"Oww Yachiru-chan, it hurts" he said as he started waving his hand around. The entire class was now laughing at Naruto's misfortune.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
The class was now out to lunch outside the school. Naruto and Yachiru were sitting in the branches of a tree while the others sat below them.
"So why are you guys back?" Ishida asked
"Got bored" Naruto replied
"No" Yachiru slapped Naruto causing him to fall out of the tree. "He and ken-chan had their fight and Naruto didn't want to fight anymore."
Naruto jumped back up and yelled at Yachiru. "I fought with him three times in two days. I couldn't move!!"
"So he beat you pretty badly?" Ichigo asked.
"Hell NO" Naruto shot back causing the others to look with confusion.
"I can hold my own against Kenpachi. If I use one move I can beat him." Naruto said proudly as he folded his arms. Yachiru jumped down and stood in front of Naruto.
"He throws all these kunai" the little girl waved her arms around and made some poses. "Then he can teleport to where any of them are in an instant." She finished.
"So you can beat Kenpachi?" Tatsuki asked with a half grin.
"Maybe, I don't really know" he answered truthfully
"Then why did you run to our world?" Ichigo asked.
"Because freaking Kenpachi got Yachiru to fight with him!!" He said glaring at the girl. The others were a little confused, none had ever seen Yachiru fight before.
"He asked me to fight. He never lets me do that" She said back.
"So what was so bad?" Ishida pointed out
"She's as fast as my Flying Thunder God!"
"Ooo that's the move with the kunai." Yachiru was now jumping in place at the mention of the name.
Naruto was about to reply but felt a tingling in his left arm. He fell to one knee as his arm erupted in pain. Naruto ripped his shirt sleeve off and showed a small tattoo of a toad.
"Crap, we need somewhere secluded" he said as he started running to the back of the school.
"Orihime can you put a barrier?" Ichigo asked as they caught up and everyone was in a corner hidden from everyone else.
"Sure" She said as a orange barrier spread and encompasses them all.
"Needs to be bigger than that" Naruto grunted through clenched teeth. Orihime expanded the barrier to a larger area.
"Ichigo, the badge"
Ichigo took his badge and hit Naruto in the chest releasing him from his gigai.
BANKAI
Naruto turned into his angel form and had already bitten his thumb.
Summoning Jutsu
A yellow toad stood beneath Naruto. A little fatter than most that Naruto summoned.
"Hey Gamatatsu, what's the matter" Naruto asked worried for the fearful toad.
Kichi told me to come and tell you to come back to Konoha
"What's going on?"
The armies have made their move. They will be outside Konoha in 7 hours
"Crap."
Are you coming now?
"No I can't yet" Naruto said while pulling on his hair. Gamatatsu looked a little saddened by Naruto's answer.
"Alright I got it." Naruto said as he summoned a bunch of paper and a brush. He drew for about 10 minutes while everyone peered over his shoulder at the seal.
"Gamatatsu. Put this seal on the ground in Konoha. And make sure it's the ground" The toad nodded "It has to have about 20 feet on each side. Then just add a little chakra. Got it?"
Yes Naruto-nee-san
"I am going to put another one by Urahara's shop. That is where we will all meet as soon as we can ok? He said to the others who Naruto guessed would be coming with him.
"Yea, Yea, now get your ass back to Konoha. And don't tell anyone even Tsunade or Jiraiya"
Ok CYA soon.
The yellow toad disappeared in a poof of smoke.
"Alright. Ready to go back to soul society?" Naruto asked as he reverted to normal.
"Hell Yea." Ichigo exclaimed.
"This month is going to be boring anyway" Tatsuki said as she flexed and took a few light jabs at Ichigo.
"Let's go tell Ken-chan. He will love the news." The vice captain stated with joy as she sliced the air creating a portal.
"We'll be back in a few hours." Naruto said as he and Yachiru stepped forward.
:Alright, meet at Urahara's after school?" Ichigo asked
"Sounds good"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Naruto and Yachiru landed gracefully out of the portal. The two guards who greet the travelers raised their hands to greet them but they were already gone, sprinting off towards the 11th.
After 4 minutes of high speed running they arrived at the barracks. Naruto kicked open the main door to find Ikkaku and Yumchika asleep in the middle of the floor. Kenpachi was leaning against a wall. He just cracked his one eye open. Naruto smiled as Yachiru sat on his shoulder.
"I got a War for Ya"
Kenpachi's eyes opened as he put a hand on the ground and got right up. Ikkaku and Yumchika stretched and jumped up and stood next to Kenpachi.
"Lead the Way" Kenpachi said
"We gotta go tell the Genreral though right?" Naruto said hoping the answer would be a no.
"Yea. You got to convince him to let the eleventh go." Ikkaku said as they ran along te roofs.
"I'll tell him that we are going on a small vacation."
"To the beach?" Yachiru added
"No to a battle!" Naruto exclaimed as the reached the first division barracks. Naruto entered first and saw Yamamoto and Sarutobi behind two desks doing some paperwork as they sipped on some tea.
"Hmmm. What brings the strongest of the eleventh to our office?" Yamamoto asked.
"My home world is under attack, We would like to go assist them"
"Shinigami are not meant to meddle in the matters of the human world. Therefore…" Sarutobi leaned over and whispered into his captain's ear.
"It seems that you will be able to go."
The group got really excited now.
"There is but two conditions" Sarutobi said as he sat back with a smile. Yamamoto continued.
"There is a soul there known as Orochimaru." At this Naruto grew angry. His eyes even pulsed red for a second.
"He is to be exterminated because he has been trapping souls there which is unbalancing the worlds.
"Like the Quincy did?" Ikkaku asked
"Yes, precisely. The second request is that Sarutobi accompany you"
"Alright. I was hoping that he would be coming as well. That'll strike fear into the enemy as they see a dead Hokage return to defend Konoha" Naruto said grinning like a little kid with a big bag of candy.
"How do you plan on getting the Ryoka there?" Yamamoto asked as they were leaving.
Naruto turned around in amazement that the general had known. He gulped before explaining.
"I have a seal set up in Karakura town to transport us all there. One of my toad summons put the other back in Konoha"
Yamamoto smiled. "Good choice of plans. Be careful then."
The group bowed and opened the doors.
"This counts as your vacation time" Yamamoto called as they left earning a growl from the eleventh and a chuckle from the general.
