Now with that out of the way let us get on with the story.

(Previously)

The Dojo was suddenly covered in black and the seen around then changed to look like a world that was completely shrouded in the crimson light of a red sun.

The Dead zone was a demonic plain that let you know there was no other living soul there except for them. 'What is this place, it looks like someone sick image of what hell is supposed to look like' Chad thought.

'We have to train in a place like this, are they insane' Tatsuki thought. She then jumps as lightning echo above them, which also scared Orihime.

"Welcome to the Devil's play ground a.k.a. the Dead zone," Amaterasu says to the girls and Sado who at this point were scared for their lives as they saw both Naruto and Amy's eyes glow red and their multiple tails and ears appeared.

"Now let the training and torture begin," Amaterasu says as a dark grin spread across her face.

Those who are born in hellfire

"Now the first lesson for you will be to awaken the fire within yourself," Amaterasu explains as she held out her hand and created a black flame.

Tatsuki stared at the fire in awe, as it was very different from any fire that she had seen before.

The flame within the palm of Amy's hand then grew in size until it was as big as basketball. "Know let the first trial of fire begin," Amy says as she fires the black flame at Tatsuki.

Reacting on instinct, Tatsuki was able to dodge the goddess of the sun's flame. "What the He-," whatever Tatsuki was about to say die when she stared into the demonic visage of the empress of hell.

"If you waste time talking, you will die, focus on surviving this and you will learn to wield fire," Amy tells her as she began shooting fireballs at the poor girl, who could only run and dodge less she be burned alive.

Orihime watched this scene play out, with a worried look on her face, hoping that Tatsuki did not get hurt. "She will be fine Orihime, do not worry," Naruto reassures her.

Orihime jumped in surprise, as had forgotten that he was standing next her. Naruto chuckled as she to stutter out an apology.

"There is nothing you need to apologize for," The demon tells her reassuringly. "

"It's time for your training to start, so I need you to hold out your hands," Naruto tells her. After she held out her arms, Naruto began to draw seals on her.

"This training will increase your speed, what I making is a seal that will help you build up speed," Naruto explains as he finishes the seal.

Once he activated the seal, Orihime felt a tremendous force pull her to the ground had Naruto failed to catch her. "My body… it feels heavy," Orihime says as she holds onto Naruto.

"It has taken affect, I have placed the weights at five time's normal gravity," Naruto explains to Orihime.

Orihime stared at the seals in awe. 'It's amazing that Naruto can control gravity with these markings' she thought as Naruto helped her stand on her feet.

"Now I need you to do five laps and then fifty pushups and sit ups, once that's done we will be working on controlling your powers," Naruto says as he let's go of Orihime, only for her to fall to her knees.

'Well at least she was able to keep from falling flat on her face' Naruto thought as he watches Orihime struggle to stand on her own.

Yoruichi, who was training Sado, had the Mexican teen focusing on controlling his powers, walks over to Naruto and smacked him on the ass.

"I never knew that you were a sadist Naruto-kun," Yoruichi purred into Naruto's ear while she wraps her arms around his neck.

"I can understand the lady Amy over there, as she is a war goddess but you well I guess it would make sense considering what you are… Foxy-kun," She says as she began to nibble on Naruto's ear.

Naruto groaned in annoyance and pleasure at that nickname and because of her skillful technique on his hybrid ears.

"Please don't call me that, it's bad enough Tenko-chan calls me that when she tries to seduce me into mating with her, I don't need you calling me that," Naruto tells the flash goddess.

Yoruichi flashed the prince a teasing grin, this told Naruto that she would never let him live that name down, much to his dismay.

"Oh, from what Amaterasu has told me, she had an attraction to you since that day she took care of you after one of your techniques backfired during training," Yoruichi states.

"Yeah it was definitely unexpected, however that was the day I met someone other than Amy who wasn't apprehensive of a former human becoming the new prince of hell," Naruto says.

Naruto then looks towards where Tenko was, to see that she was not too far from where he and Yoruichi stood and that she was wearing a track short along with some shorts that barely passed mid thigh.

If that wasn't enough to kill a man, then her performing the most erotic stretching poses while she was on the ground doing the splits was enough to come close to killing Naruto.

Tenko who felt Naruto's gaze settle on her, turned towards him to meet his gaze as a small blush spread across her cheeks. Tenko's lips curved into a smile as she turned away from him in order to continue her light workout.

"You sure you're not going to take her up on her offer, why don't we all have a little fun tonight," the flash goddess suggests as she runs her hand from her breasts to her ass.

Naruto licked his lips at the thought of an orgy with the four of them. As he thought this, Naruto missed the lustful gaze that Tenko was giving him.

"I will think about it, however we need to focus on the girls and Sado's training," Naruto said as he went to Orihime who had finally collapsed from exhaustion.

Satisfied with his answer for the time being, Yoruichi focus her attention on Sado's training.

(Ichigo's inner world)

"Can you hear me…? Ichigo," A deep voice called out awakening a slumbering Ichigo. Looking at his surroundings, Ichigo notices that he was not in Urahara's shop anymore.

"Over here," that same voice that had awoken him says. Turning to where he heard the voice was come from Ichigo, came face to face with a man with long black hair. The man looked to be middle-aged and wore a black cloak and sunglasses.

"Who are you," Ichigo asks the strange man who just stare at him without showing any emotion. "What are you talking about, it's me… Zangetsu," the spirit says to Ichigo who stared at him in confusion.

'I didn't even hear his full name,' Ichigo thought. "I see, so my voice is still unable to reach you, oh sad, perhaps you can tell me how many times must I cry out for you to hear me," Zangetsu says in agitation.

"After all, there is no one out there that knows me better than you do," the spirit tells him. "Well sorry but, I don't know anyone as depressing as you," Ichigo states becoming irritated. Suddenly Ichigo realized that the man wasn't standing of the build and seemed to be floating on air.

"How did you… it's like you're just floating on air," Ichigo says. "Hm you surprise me, how

Could you just sit there in a place like that?" Zangetsu asks

Ichigo then begins to fall from the building, screaming along the way down. Zangetsu then falls towards him and gave him some advice on how to regain his powers.

(Urahara shop)

Ichigo screams in agony as the white mask of the hollow tried to overtake his body and transform him.

The final encroachment had destroyed what little of the soul chain that was left on his body, leaving the hole that would mark him as a dark spirit.

After this happened, a white liquid began to poor of his eyes and mouth as he felt his spiritual body rip itself apart.

"It seems as though he will become a hollow after all, oh well I guess I wasn't strong enough to resist the final encroachment," Jinta commits as he climbs out of the hole they had trapped Ichigo in three days ago.

This did not sit well with Ururu as she looked about ready to jump down there to help him. "I've got to help him or he might actually become a hollow," Ururu tells her brother as she holds out her fist.

However, before she was able to move Kisuke stops her from going down there. "Hold it, just stay where you are and watch him closely," Mr. Hat and clogs says gaining Ururu and Jinta's attention.

"Usually when a soul transforms from a plus to a hollow, the spiritual body explodes and then it's suppose to reform but, in Ichigo's case the order is all mixed up and the mask is being made while the body is still intact," Kisuke explains shocking both teens.

"This is all a sign that Ichigo is resisting the transformation," Kisuke tells them. "Now there is still a strong possibility that he will become a soul reaper, so let's watch a while, and see."

"Of course, if he should still become a hollow after this…" Kisuke let the threat hang in the air, knowing that those to teens knew what he meant when he told that.

Suddenly, Ichigo's power began to skyrocket and the spell that Tessai had placed on him, binding is arms began to break apart. Seeing this, Tessai then began to place more Kido binding spells on Ichigo's body.

The binding spells were unable to hold Ichigo for more than ten seconds before he viciously destroys all of them and burst from the hole, creating a dust cloud.

Kisuke, Jinta, and Ururu all had to cover their faces with their arms as the dust rushed past them.

As the dust cleared, a lone figure stood within the cloud. Once they got a good look at the person, they realized that it was Ichigo and that he had a mask covering his face.

"A Shihakushō and a mask, but how is that possible," Jinta asked. "Is he a hollow or a soul reaper?"

Suddenly Jinta and Ururu got into their fighting stances as Ichigo began to move towards them.

Ichigo then grabs the hollow mask and pulls it from his face, placing it on top of his head.

Ichigo was also somewhat buffer than he had been when he was a reaper with Rukia's powers.

Jinta and Ururu stare at Ichigo with caution, as he seemed to be emitting a somewhat darker energy. Ichigo sighed as he finally was back in control of his body.

"Well now, it would seem that you have were able reawakened your soul energy, so congratulations," Kisuke states light heartedly.

To the others and Tessai who had just emerged from the hole, seemed as though Kisuke was not bothered by the whole change. "It would seem that lesson two is now completed."

Ichigo, who had enough of Kisuke attitude, deck him right in the face, knocking Urahara a few steps back. "Oh shut up, and stop with all the fake tears," Ichigo states as he stood over Urahara who was nursing his poor nose.

"I bet you thought that I wouldn't even make it, so I swore to myself that you would be the first person I killed once I got my powers back and escape that hole," the half-breed declared.

"Well I have to say that your time was perfect, with all of your spirit we should be able to get you started on lesson three," Kisuke tells him, completely ignoring the agitated look on his face.

"What did you just say to me," Ichigo growled at the former captain. "And the best part of lesson three is that, there is no time limit," he tells the hybrid.

"All you need to do in order to complete lesson three is to knock off my hat with you Zanpakuto," Kisuke tells the half-breed. Kisuke then had to take a step back, as Ichigo tries to cut him in half with his soul cutter blade.

"Hm not bad," Kisuke states as he stares at Ichigo with a look on face that said he was not that impressed.

"It would seem that you have become somewhat stronger than you originally where thanks to the new powers, even though that huge sword is useless."

"Yeah I wonder about these powers myself," Ichigo states, "However I wouldn't be so smug, because I haven't gotten down to business yet," Ichigo states with a cocky grin spread across his face.

"So then, why don't we forget about, the no time-limit concept, as I believe that we could finish this in five minutes," Ichigo declares as he points his sword at Kisuke who stared at him with a blank look.

"That sounds good to me, five minutes is all the time you need… is that right," Kisuke says as he pulls a sword from the cane that he always walks around with everyday.

"Well than bring it," Kisuke says, as he lounges at Ichigo.

Ichigo dodges and begins to run from Kisuke, who would not let up on the attack.

"Hey not bad, considering that you're only using a kiddy-sword," Ichigo says as he jumps away from Kisuke who kept on swing his cane-sword around like a retard.

"Oh what a compliment student, don't expect me to go easy on you," Kisuke says while laughing like an idiot.

'Hey wait a minute, why am I running away from him, I thought that only a zanpakuto could kill a reaper and hollows however, I saw Mr. Hat and clogs pull out that sword from his cane' Ichigo thought as he stops running.

'So that means that the sword can't possibly be a zanpakuto… so even if he hits me I should be perfectly fine since he can't cut me,' as this thought runs though Ichigo's head Kisuke proves that he could have easy killed him with the sword.

"You let your guard down… did you really think that just because I'm not a reaper that I would not possess a zanpakuto, how naïve," Kisuke says as he hold the cane sword out in front of his body.

"Now awaken Benihime," and with that, Kisuke's sword transformed into a sleek medium-size sword. Ichigo stared at the sword in shock as he remembers when Renji had called out the name of his sword.

"A name for my zanpakuto," Ichigo says out loud still in shock about the whole experience.

"Yes, each zanpakuto carries their own unique name, this one right in my hand is Benihime, the red princess," Kisuke state as swings the sword at Ichigo, the blades power sending him to the ground a few feet back.

Kisuke that lounges at Ichigo with Benihime which Ichigo had blocked with his sword. Pushing Kisuke back, Ichigo jumps at Kisuke and tries to get him with a vertical lash.

Kisuke blocked with his sword, but he still got pushed back, just by the amount of force Ichigo had put behind his attack.

"Well it seems that my sword is still stronger than yours," Ichigo says as he applied more pressure, which to his annoyance didn't seem to faze Kisuke.

"So you believe that the weak blade of yours is enough to spot Benihime… don't make me laugh," and then much to Ichigo's horror, Benihime cut right through his sword like a knife through butter.

Ichigo acting on instinct once again began to run, however this time Kisuke was able to catch up to him easily and began to cut up the sword until were was nothing left but the hilt.

"So what will you do now Ichigo… well I will tell you this before we resume this fight, if you try to come at me with only that hilt of you sword… I will kill you," Kisuke says as his spiritual energy began to flow from his body.

'Why s this happening, this is pathetic, is this really all I can do… am I this weak, it's Pathetic' these where thoughts that ran through Ichigo's mind as he tried to run from Kisuke, knowing that if he tried to fight back he would on get himself killed.

"Yes that's you," Zangetsu says as he appeared before Ichigo. "Master… it's you," Ichigo says surprise to see the man standing there in front of him.

"Why are you running away Ichigo… you still haven't called out to me yet," Zangetsu says to his master.

"Face forward Ichigo and you should be able to hear my name; the only thing plugging your ears is your own fear."

After hearing, this from the man Ichigo had stopped running and his spiritual energy began to increase at an alarming rate.

Jinta, Ururu, and Tessai who had escaped from the hole, all had to hide behind a large rock so as not to be in Kisuke's way as he fought Ichigo. When they saw Ichigo stop running and his energy skyrocket, they had to shield their eyes from the flying dust.

"Zangetsu," Ichigo says as the dust clear revealing that his hilt and become a huge meat cleaver-like blade.

"Oh so you have finally unlocked your shikai, now we can really star your lesson," Kisuke tells Ichigo who just stared at him.

"I'm sorry for this Urahara, but I hope you are able to dodge this," Ichigo tells Kisuke, confusing the man.

"It would seem that I can't control my powers just yet," Ichigo says as he raises the cleaver above his head.

"Reacting on instinct alone, Kisuke was able to shield himself from the blast Ichigo had sent towards him.

"That was close, if I had been just a little slower, I could have lost an arm right then and there," Kisuke says as he went to retrieve his hat that had been blown off his head.

"Well I got to say, you are one scary child Ichigo."

(Back at Amy's mansion)

Tatsuki seemed to be getting discouraged about the training method she was doing with the sun goddess. It had been three days and she still had not gain the ability to control her flames.

'Why… why can't I control it, what am I doing wrong' and as these thoughts ran through Tatsuki's head, her movements began to become sluggish and Amaterasu's flames began to catch up to her.

Naruto and Yoruichi were able to see that she was currently running on fumes and they both were having serious doubts about her controlling her fire.

Orihime had once again passed out after some hard training with the weights that Naruto had placed on her.

Sado was also out of commission because he used up all of his energy. Naruto had taken them from the Dead zone and place them in one of the houses spare rooms.

"This is not good, it would seem that her powers are still out of her reach," Naruto tells Yoruichi as they watch Tatsuki work almost frantically to avoid the black flames.

"I notice this as well if she is not able to gain control soon then we might have to leave her behind," Yoruichi tells Naruto.

Amaterasu had started to grow tired of this training method of chasing Tatsuki with the black flames. Therefore, she decided to blast the black flames a few inches in front of her face.

Tatsuki freezes as she stares into the flames in fear. 'Why… must I be so week' she thought, as she turned to Amy who stare Tatsuki right in the eye with a blank stare and the black flame within her hands.

"I very disappointed in you, Tatsuki," Amy says as Tatsuki tried to back away from the goddess only to fall to the ground.

"What a waste, I guess that there is no hope for you and since you are of no use…" Suddenly Amaterasu's black fire grows in size.

"Wait she wouldn't, would she," Yoruichi asked Naruto who looked watched in curiosity.

'What are you doing Amy-chan, have you learned something about her powers and why they haven't emerged yet,' Naruto thought as he told Yoruichi to watch.

"I guess you are no longer needed however, I have no reason to keep you alive as I hate weaklings," Amy says as she holds the black flames right in front of her face.

'Why am I so weak' was the last thought that ran through Tatsuki's Mind as she is engulf in the black flames.

(Unknown location)

"Hey are you awake… come on Tatsuki," an angelic voice echo's through Tatsuki's mind. 'Where am I… whose calling me' Tatsuki thought.

"Tatsuki-sama it's time for you to awaken now," the voice tells her. Opening her eyes, Tatsuki found that she was no longer in the Dead zone but was apparently lying outside under the light of a blood red moon.

Sitting up, Tatsuki realized that she was not only outside but she was no longer in Karakura town.

"Oh great so I have descended to hell," Tatsuki mumbles to herself. "You are not in hell, you are currently within your own mind," a booming voice says, as a giant firebird flew over her.

"What the hell," Tatsuki shouts in shook as the bird lands before her in all its' fiery glory.

"So we finally meet after a long time… my mistress," The Phoenix says as it stares directly into Tatsuki's eyes piercing her soul.

End

Well there you have it Chapter 8 is finally finished and it seems that Tatsuki as an ancient immortal within her soul.

Now it is time that I address this once again as many of my fans seemed, to be confused about some of the woman who the women in Naruto's harem are and so I will be adding an extra chapter with this information so that all of the girls will be addressed.

Read and Review this and I will see you in either the next chapter of this story or the chapter of Naruto Masaki Jurai.

Well Sayonara
