Disclaimer: I don't either Bleach nor do I own Naruto, I am sick and its summer, so insert witty comment here.
Warnings: CROSSOVER, hints of Yoai, yup I think that's it, and spoilers for those who don't read the manga, those who do and have read up to the most recent are in no trouble because it has strayed from the plot awhile ago.
Naruto awoke from a dream to birds singing,
-a migraine and pain in his sword hand,
-and Shinigami screaming…
Softly sliding open the door he found himself seeing Sakura and Sasuke being guards. Urahara was complaining about being smacked across the room.
"Hell no! Like I am going to let you in there! He'll wake up on his own!" Sakura had her zanpakutō unsheathed. Urahara got up again ready to retaliate when he noticed Naruto leaning on the door frame.
"You all are loud."
Sakura turned around with a soft "Thank God" and hugged him. In their original language she suddenly scolded him,
"What the hell! Naruto you could have died, or worse lost control." Naruto looked at his bare feet (he had yet to realize he was no longer in uniform) and muttered,
"Is me dying really so much better than losing control?" Sakura sifted, and softly said,
"I am glad you're ok." Naruto nodded numbly,
"Well, Naruto-kun, I will go tell the others. Sakura-san, will you fill him in?" Urahara asked before turning and walking away. Naruto and Sakura returned to the blonde's room.
"What have I missed?" Naruto questioned as Sakura began to do her exam on his wounds, the medic sighed,
"Well you have been out for a week, Orihime-san is fine, and the other Shinigami were worried about the sand. Some captains besides the 10th have come and all they do is talk about the "old days" and war. Konohamaru is here too."
"Eh!? Konohamaru too, damn, what as Sasuke-teme been up to." The blond asked,
"Training, apparently the captains are curious of his skills with the sword that 'contains the power of a 1000 zanpakutō. Though the 12th and 8th I think are interested in yours." She stood, hands on her hips she chided,
"Uzumaki Naruto, what in the worlds are we going to do with you regenerating yourself?" Naruto huffed,
"It's not like it's shortening my lifespan, if it did, I would-" He was cut off by an explosion, two spirit pressures howled around the air. The two shared a look and said,
"Sasuke and Kurosaki."
Ichigo panted as the black haired boy swung Sōkyoku again, there was a noticeable difference in battle tactics. Uchiha stopped and looked over to the entrance where the pink haired girl was walking along with Naruto.
Ichigo blinked, Naruto was supposed to be in a coma for about 4 weeks at the very least, now it looked like nothing had ever happened.
The 4th captain raised a slender eye brow and muttered something about the strangeness of these new comers.
Sasuke released the shikai form to go back to his friends. Ichigo's eyes narrowed, they didn't seem like just friends, they were too in tuned with each other.
The old man Yamamoto walked over to them and quietly talked to them. Walking over to the other non-captains (the captains were all sitting together) he looked back.
"Should he even be awake?" He heard Renji ask, "I mean I saw him, that sand looked like it was eating away his flesh now look at him, even if Haruno-san had let Orihime near him, he would still be out." Ichigo nodded.
"Like a hollow," he heard Ishida comment, Orihime turned slightly socked,
"What did you say Ishida-kun?" Ishida blushed, realizing he had spoken out loud explained,
"He regenerated like a hollow; doesn't it seem out that there isn't even a scar?" Ichigo snorted but before he could through in his two cents Uchiha had called him back to spar again.
Naruto sat alone watching Ichigo and Sasuke spar, he had to refrain from sparing or it would look more suspicious as to why he was able to move as if nothing had happened.
Naruto gritted his teeth, were Shinigami so worthless that they couldn't stand haven't such wounds. He had worse before…Shaking his head Naruto tried to stop his train of thoughts, but failed as the bijū pushed the memories into focus.
"No!" He cried shaking the two dying bodies, "No, not my family! Curse you, curse you all!" He screamed as he leapt towards the enemy utterly destroying them. Rushing back to the two prone figures he called out in agony again.
"Hn, still, such a crier dobe." The dark eyed Uchiha coughed up blood, smirking softly he whispered, "Looks like you brought me back to Konoha."
Naruto shook his head. No, this wasn't supposed to happen, not like this!
"Looks like you did it Naruto." Sakura beamed up at the distressed blood covered blond.
"Sakura-chan" he whispered, Sakura frowned for a moment,
"Don't frown Naruto, I don't want the last thing I see is you being moody, smile, for us." She pleaded, he green eyes fading, Naruto smiled painfully, using every happy Team 7 memory to keep it alive.
The pink haired girl's eyes dimmed as well as the Sharingan user.
"No! NO!" Naruto screamed, no howled.
'Do you want to save them?' Kyuubi's voice broke the silence, sounding like salt to a wound.
"Yes," Naruto whispered out loud,
'Forever?'
Without thinking of what the demon meant Naruto answered, "Yes"
'Are you sure?'
'YES JUST TELL ME HOW!' Naruto screamed in his head, rattling up the nine tails.
'Slash your wrists and let the blood fall into their mouths, our life force shall become theirs.' The great beast commanded.
Naruto blindly followed the instructions. Not soon after did the two start screaming.
Blond blinked back tears, no now, he thought looking towards Shinigami; he didn't need to break down in front of them. His eyes landed on Yamamoto's old face, Konohamaru's old face. Closing his eyes again memories swarmed him once more.
"Boss!" A young voice called through the silence forest as a young boy ran up to his older friend. The forest was blood stained and bodies littered the ground.
The blood turned from his to sleeping friends, who he had just saved from death's door to see a shaken Konohamaru standing there.
'Did he see?' Naruto wondered, but looking around he noticed that they were in a battlefield.
"They're dead boss, h-how can they be dead." Naruto blinked, the blond walked over and kneeled in front of the distressed child.
"Who's dead?"
"My team! My Family! My Friends!" The boy cried crashed into the older perverted ninja's chest. Naruto did his best to soothed the boy.
"Konohamaru, listen to me, you must, you must change your name, and disappear. Konoha isn't our Konoha anymore. You must grow stronger than anyone and come back. Take back you Grandfather's grave, your uncle's, you sensei's, your friends!"
"What about you! Why are you leaving it up to me!?"
"Konohamaru! I am not longer able to! I-I cannot take back this noble village that is not my role. Here, drink this, and make sure that you take back out village, for now, and forever!" Naruto bit his lip, he could never face them now that he had merged with Kyuubi.
"I will Naruto-nii, I will! At least give me my name, so I can remember you!"
"Very well, Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryūsai. Now go, tell the others I am, we are dead. Never tell anyone. Here take this." The blond handed the brunette a small vile with red liquid,
"Drink a single drop of this, and you and your men with no doubt, live long enough to take back what is rightfully ours!"
"Oi, dobe, what are you thinking about so hard?" Sasuke came up and asked, panting slightly. Naruto bit his lip and then said,
"It is the eve of another great war. I think it is time we tell the Shinigami what roles we have played."
Nice…an update. Don't know why I am updating now, though, been what like three-two months? Any who, story is gearing down.
I want to write another crossover with Naruto, anyone got any ideas?
Well hopefully until next time.
