I don't own Naruto or Bleach

Chapter 8: Kuro the Color Black

I was rushing through the Uchiha compound looking for Sasuke whom I'd lost very quickly. It didn't take me long to guess where he was going so I quickly rushed over to Fugaku's place and "invited" myself in through the wall. (I was in a rush okay?)

I quickly rushed through the house and headed straight to Fugaku and Mikoto's room to find them lying on the floor in a pool of their own blood. "NO!" I cried running over to them. Suddenly, I heard Fugaku coughing.

I rushed over to him, turned him over, and had him in my arms. He coughed some more, "G-Gin." Crap. I don't know any healing! He smiled at me, "W-what's with the solemn face m-my friend? *cough cough* You said this would happen. *cough* I was expecting you to be smirking saying 'I told you so'. *cough*" I shook my head at him.

"That's not the point, Fugaku. We need ta get you to a Medic-nin." I told him quickly.

He shook his head ant me, "*chuckle* Oh, G-Gin. We both know that there's not a-anything to be done. I'm g-gonna die soon. So do me a favor w-would you? If my s-son ever gets any ideas about a-abandoning Konohana for revenge against Itachi, kick his a-ass and drag him b-back wil ya." And with that last request he went limp and died. Needless to say I was pissed. I put Fugaku down and Shunpo'd out as fast as I could. I immediately found Sasuke lying on the ground.

"Sasuke!" I cried and went over to him. He got up and looked at me.

"G-Gin-s-san." He said weakly. I landed right next to him and ran over.

"Which way did Itachi go!?" I asked him.

"T-that way." He said weakly pointing to his left. I nodded and told him to get out of here. He complied and he started to leave as I followed Itachi. I was flash steppin' through the compound lookin' for Itachi. Just when I thought he got away I spotted Itachi.

"Shoot to Kill: Shinso!" I yelled aimin' for Itachi's head but suddenly he disappeared in a flock of crows. "Sh-!" Suddenly I heard behind me.

"Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!" A Large Fire ball was rushing towards me and I dodged landing on a roof nearby. I started at the figure who'd released the Jutsu and standing there was Itachi Uchiha.

"One question, Itachi," I said, "Why'd ya do it? Why'd you murder yer clan and Shisui?" I asked.

He looked at me with a blank expression on his face, "To test my power and bring it out." he explained.

I clenched my fist, "Power? That's all? Power? WHAT KIND OF FOOL KILLS HIS KIN FOR POWER!?" I yell out in a great and furious rage.

"I do not see a reason to continue this conversation. Let us just begin our battle." He said getting in a stance.

"Bakudo # 30 Shitotsu Sansen!" I draw a yellow triangle in the air and fire "stakes" from the three corners at Itachi. I hits him sending him flying into a building. He hit the wall and was suddenly a piece of tile appears in Itachi's place. Itachi turned out to be in the streets and jumped up at me.

"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Itachi cried. Suddenly a bunch of fireballs were right in my face and launched at me. I couldn't dodge in time and was hit point blank by them. Itachi quickly jumped back to the top of the building and I had to shed my Jonin vest and used some reiatsu to put out the residual flames on my clothes which I would need to change after this. Suddenly the buildingI was on was shaking and collapsed having caught on fire. The roof beneath my feet gave way and I fell in. I quickly grabbed the edge of the roof and jumped up. I pointed my sword at Itachi and released my Zanpakto sending it rushing towards him at full speed (as Ichigo and Aizen know it) and impaled his stomach missing any vital areas (on accident of course). He grabbed the blade trying to pry it out but I quickly lifted it and slammed him into the building with enough force to cause part of it to collapse. I retracted he blade and jumped over to inspect the wreckage.

Itachi jumped out of the wreckage fairly bruised and summons a flock of crows and sends them flying at me. I put my hands to the ground, "Bakudo #21 Sekienton." A red cloud of smoke appears and in engulfs the birds and me. They fly out the other side and don't hit me. Itachi quickly looks around for me and I call out, "Up here." He looks up in shock as I'm comin' down of him and launch my Zanpakto at him.

He quickly dodges and gets on top of a building activating Mangekyo Sharingan. I land on the building surprised. "You have a Mangekyo Sharingan!?" I cry out.

He nodded, "Indead. Susanoo!" Suddenly red bands appear behind him and break his fall. I land on a spire and look down on him. "Itachi wanna hear a secret?" I ask him.

He raised an eyebrow, "Do I?" He asked nervously. I nodded.

"Yep it's a very special secret no one can know about. Still wanna hear it?" I ask.

He was shaking, "You're going to tell me regardless of the answer, Gin. So let's get this over with." I smile and land on the ground with a straight line between me and Itachi who was on guard.

"Yep," I say raising my sword up, "Know when I said that Shinso was the true form of my sword?"

He nodded and I point the sword at him. "I lied. Wanna see its true form? It's longer and faster than Shinso." I get into a stance.

Itachi was shaking his head vigorously, "No! No! No, I don't want to see its true form. I'm fine with that. Really, Gin. I'm perfectly okay with not seeing it! Honest!" I smile at him.

"Too late. Bankai: Kamishini no Yari." The blade quickly rushes towards Itachi as his eyes grow wide in fear.

This is the end. Itachi thought.

Third Person P.O.V.

Team Ro was going crazy. The village was going crazy. Everyone was going crazy. No one could understand what was going on. The Uchiha clan was dead minus Sasuke and his brother. The latter of which did the deed and everything was just plain chaos. A young Naruto was up and on the roof of his house looking over Konohana. He had woken up with a bad feeling and went to get his dad only to find him not in bed. He went to the roof to find all the Ninja were going crazy and realized his dad was probably assisting with whatever mess they had. He decided to get onto the streets and see what the commotion was about.

It was pure hell. People were running around screaming carrying Kids some rushing into nearby structures of any sort. Ninja hopping around this way and that. Some leading families that were on the street into any building that could be locked, some guarding said buildings, and some were running around doing who knows what. He even saw medic-nin treating those who were injured during the "stampede". "Hey, kid!" He turned around to see an ANBU with messy-silver hair and a mask covering his entire lower face with his forehead protector covering his left eye. "It's not safe to be on the streets come with me and I'll get you somewhere safe.

Naruto nodded going with the man. They tried many locales but no one wanted the "demon brat" in their shelter. The ANBU was clearly not happy about this. They were jumping across the buildings looking for somewhere else that would let them Naruto stay in their shelter. When suddenly they heard an elderly voice cry out, "Kakashi!" They stopped and Naruto looked at the man named Kakashi then to the source of the voice revealed to be the Hokage. SArutobi jumped up to the roof they were on. "Kakashi we need your help in the search for Itachi." Kakashi rubbed the back of his head.

"Sorry Lord Hokage. I was looking for a building for this kid to stay in, but no one will let him in just because he's the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tailed Fox." Kakashi explained. The Hokage nodded in understanding.

"Take him to the Hyuuga compound then, Hiashi should understand." Sarutobi ordered him. Kakashi nodded but just before he carried out his orders they saw a flash and a large Blade rip through the Uchiha compound and the Forest. Buidings collapsed like paper-mache, debris was flung into the air, trees were uprooted, Rocks seemingly floated in the air and a large crevice in the Earth, and a Mountain with a hole in it. Everyone who saw it felt a swell of emotions: dread, fear, awe, surprise, amazement, curiosity. Along with many reactions: crying, screaming, running, yelling, tears over all the paper- wait were there any forms for this situation or were they going to need to make some up? All the while one must fear if a Black Cat had crossed SOMEONES path. Said Black Cat that had passed Itachi earlier was smirking to itself.

Gin .

Well, to say the destruction was awesome was an understatement once I retracted my Blade no sign of Itachi not even a surprise attack. He was dead. I killed Itachi, Fugaku's son. I sighed and started walking back when Sarutobi showed up. "Hey, Sarutobi," I said waving, "I killed the person, Itachi, who committed the Massacre. Sorry about all the property damage, my anger got ahead of me, well see ya I'm gonna go get Naruto." I Shunpo'd away leaving a wide-eyed Sarutobi staring at the carnage up close and personal.

Two days later at the Uchiha funeral

It was a solemn day. Sasuke was standing before a large grave cite containing all the Clan member's corpses that weren't destroyed by Gin's attack. He was kneeling before his parent's grave crying wishing for them to come back. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder. "Sauk-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU MONSTER!" Sasuke cried out, "YOU DESTROYED MY HOME AND THE BODIES OF MY PEOPLE WHO DESERVED TO BE BARRIED. I HATE YOU!" Sasuke's tears were pouring down his face like the rain and everyone else just stood there not knowing what to say.

I frowned very deeply, took my hand off Sasuke, and walked away, "Your right, y'know. You have every reason to hate me for that. I'm sorry, Sasuke, in my rage I acted without thinking. Hate me, I won't stop you."

Sasuke still leaning on the grave spoke up, "I'll surpass you. One day I'll surpass you and kill you. Wait for me. I'll get strong enough to defeat you and when I do, I'll kill you."

Suddenly a mysterious voice spoke up, "Oh, really Sasuke? You'll have to kill me first." The whole crowd includin' me and Sasuke turned to see Itachi Uchiha standin' in a tree. "I'm still alive, Gin-san." With that he disappeared in a flock of crows. Sasuke yelled out that he would kill Itachi and stormed off. I was left standing there in awe wondering how he didn't die.

Hokage's Office later that day.

"You want me to do what, now?" Sarutobi asked his advisors.

"Make Gin Ichimaru your successor as Hokage." Koharu said.

Sarutobi shook his head, "I'm sorry but, why?"

"It's simple really. During multiple missions he's shown to be a very capable leader, he has a cunning and strategic mind, and he has the power to back it all up. Hell (dare I say it) he could easily give the First and Fourth together a run for their money." Homura explained.

"Of course we're not saying you should immediately give up the mantle of Hokage, Sarutobi, but to declare Gin as your successor for when you retire and/or pass away." Danzo explained.

"Now hold on here, I'm the one who chooses the successor. My advisors have no say in the process unless I've died without declaring an heir. And last I checked I'm still very much alive and kicking." Sarutobi gruffly stated.

"Yes, yes we know we're just suggesting you consider Gin as-"Homura began.

"Consider me as what? Homura?" I said walking into the room. The advisors turned around surprised to see me. Koharu turned to Sarutobi and said, "Add master of Stealth to that list."

"Sarutobi, what's goin' on?" I asked.

"My advisors want me to make you my successor as Hokage, Gin." Sarutobi explained. I couldn't help but chuckle a bit.

"Listen it's not like I'm not flattered but I'm not interested in bein' Hokage. Sorry." I explained.

The advisors grumbled and left as I began to speak with Sarutobi about Itachi.

A short distance from the Hyuuga compound.

Hinata Hyuuga was walking back to her home when she suddenly heard a Meow. She turned around to find a black cat walking up to her. She kneelt down and looked at it. "Hello there, nice to meet you my name is Hinata Hyuuga." Hinata said as she reached out her palm. To her surprise the cat took it and Hinata's hands closed around it and she shook its "hand". She smiled and petted it. The cat meowed and turned on its back. As it turns out it was a she. Hinata smiled and scratched its underbelly. The cat purred in enjoyment. After a few minutes HInata left waving bye to the cat and headed home before her father started to worry.

The next day HInata woke up to a surprise. The cat had followed her home. Of course it was six in the morning when she woke up so her vision was blurry and being the nine-year-old she was thought there was a Black blob on her bed that had come to eat her face off or something. She let out a small scream and fell off the bed.

In a matter of seconds Hyuugas were storming the place looking for the intruder. They saw the cat and attacked in the heat of the moment. When Hiashi came in he found a room full of unconscious Hyuuga guards and a cat rubbing its head against Hinata who was staring at it blankly.

She pointed down to the cat and looked at her father, "Daddy, can I keep it? I think it will make a wonderful body-guard." Hinata said.

Hiashi just nodded blankly, "Fine. But you're taking care of it. Also, what's its name?" He told his daughter. She smiled, "Her name's Kuro."

Author's Note: OH, gee a black female cat capable of taking down a group of highly trained guards with not effort whatsoever, I wonder what's so special about them? sarcasm Okay, so I know this chapter's late and I'm sorry. I was figuring out how to play it out. Also, what I was able to do was get another FanFic released. It's a Kingdom Hearts and Bleach crossover called Kingdom Hearts: Hollowed Fates so please check it out. (or not it's your choice). Anyways, I'm nit sure what the release schedule for these two FanFics will be so I'll get back to you on that. Anyways as always Callian31 signing out, peace!
