I am back with a new chapter and a headache! I stayed up all night writing the last chapter! Anyway, I have an important note:
Since school is starting back up for me tomorrow, I won't be able to keep updating everyday. Thusly, you can expect my updates on the weekends!
Also, to fanfic fanatic: Sorry, I can't answer your questions now or I'd be giving away some of the surprises and twists. I can say that more Naruto Characters will be appearing, the Arrancar arc will be happening, and some of your questions will be answered in this very chapter! Any questions that I didn't answer or that aren't answered in this chapter will be answered in the future!
Okay, with that said, let's begin!
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach.

'Thinking'
"Hollow Talking" (Just so you know, Arrancar are going to talk normally, not in bold print)

Ichigo sighed as he walked to school. It was his first day back since the incident in Seireitei. He and the group had made regular visits to The Sly Fox only to find Yoruichi (Who had moved in with Naruto after returning) and no Naruto. When asked, Yoruichi had said Naruto was working on a surprise for them.
'Something tells me,' Ichigo thought, 'I'm not gonna like it…'
"IIIIIICCCCCCHHHHHHHIIIIIIIGGGGGOOOOOOOO!!!"
Ichigo stuck his arm out and clothes-lined the person that had come running up behind him.
"Keigo," Ichigo greeted.
"L-long t-time, n-no see…" Keigo muttered from his position on the floor.
"Morning, Ichigo!" Mizuiro said as he passed the red-head.
"Morning, Mizuiro," Ichigo said as he stepped into his classroom.
"Morning, Keigo!" Mizuiro said as he leaned down to looked down at his friend.
"I'll…kill…you…." Keigo muttered.
……………………………………………………………………………………………
"Good morning, Kurosaki-kun!" Orihime greeted.
"…" Chad simply held up his hand and waved.
"Morning. Your hair is messy as always," Ishida commented.
Suddenly, Orihime was gabbed from behind.
"MORNING, ORIHIME~!" Chizuru shouted before she was kicked in the face.
"Geez," Tatsuki mumbled, "It doesn't matter if it is summer or fall, all you try to do is get some!"
"Yes, I do!" Chizuru said, "Every season, I want girls!"
"Tatsuki, it's been a while!" Ichigo said as he looked to the girl.
"I didn't see you much over the summer! What were you doing?" Tatsuki questioned before pointing at something on Ichigo's hip, "What's that?"
Ichigo looked to see what she was pointing at, and, finding it was the badge that Ukitake gave him to make him a substitute Shinigami, "Y-you can see that, Tatsuki?!"
"Well, yeah why wouldn't I be able t-"
"HELLO CLASS! I AM YOUR NEW TEACHER, UZUMAKI NARUTO!" Naruto declared as he walked through the door, "Oh, Strawberry-chan and friends! You're in my class?! Good to see you all! So, Strawberry-chan, out of the closet yet?"
'…You've got to be kidding me…' Ichigo thought as he and his friends sweat-dropped.
Suddenly, the badge started going off, "Hollow! Hollow!"
Naruto glanced at Ichigo before adjusting his sunglasses.
Orihime, Chad, and Ichigo ran out of the room yelling "Bathroom!"
Naruto looked to the rest of the class and grinned.
"Free period! Go wild!" Naruto shouted as he ran out the door as well, causing the class to sweat-drop.
Tatsuki sighed and looked out the window, her eyes widening when she saw Ichigo running across the track in his Shinigami garb.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"I told you guys it was just another normal Hollow," Ichigo said, "You guys didn't have to come with…Naruto, shouldn't you be teaching the class?!"
"What..? And miss all the fun?!" Naruto said, "Not a chance!"
"I've always wanted to try using the bathroom as an excuse to ditch class, anyway!" Orihime exclaimed.
"I think you might have gone overboard on that excuse…" Chad muttered as the three students began to walk away, "Aren't you coming, Naruto?"
"I'll catch up guys!" Naruto called as the three disappeared around the corner, "…You can come out now…Shinji."
Naruto didn't flinch as the man landed next to him.
"It's been awhile, Naruto. Don't suppose I can convince you to join back up with us? I don't think the others would mine if I brought back our old leader, so how 'bout it?" Shinji asked.
"Nah, when I left, I left for good," Naruto answered, "But how is everyone?"
"Good, nothing new has really happened ever since you left," Shinji said, "So…Kurosaki…is he one of us?"
"Yeah," Naruto called lazily as he began to walk away, "Think you can help him out?"
"That's actually why I'm here!" Shinji replied, "I'll see what I can do."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Naruto cleaned down a counter at The Sly Fox before he felt a pair of hands cover his eyes.
"Guess who?"
"Hm…Orihime-chan?" Naruto guessed, only to receive a bump on the head.
"Baka…" Yoruichi muttered, shaking her head.
Naruto chuckled before kissing her, which she returned.
Suddenly, much to the annoyance of the two, the door opened and in walked Ichigo and the gang.
"Oi, just because you're going to remain a virgin for life, doesn't mean I plan to, Strawberry-chan!" Naruto complained, receiving a punch from Ichigo.
"BAKA!" Ichigo shouted.
"So, what's up?" Yoruichi asked, "Something wrong?"
"Actually…we were wondering if you could finish your story from before…" Orihime stated as the group sat at a table.
"Ah…That's right! I was telling you about my past!" Naruto exclaimed as he and Yoruichi walked over and sat next to them, "Where did I leave off?"
"With Byakuya being your apprentice," Ichigo recalled.
"Oh right! Well, you already know that story…so how 'bout another one?" Naruto asked.
The group nodded and Naruto began.
(Flashback)
"What do you mean, Jiji?!" Naruto asked the Sotaicho. Naruto had been a student of Yamamoto all through out his years at the academy. Just today, Yamamoto had called Naruto to his office and said that he was no longer his student.
"There is nothing more I can teach you, Naruto-kun, now that you have Bankai. As the Lieutenant of the 10th Division, you also have other duties to fulfill," Yamamoto replied.
"I…I understand, Jiji," Naruto said as he walked out of the room.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Naruto walked
through the gates of the 10th Division.
Since he had just graduated, this was actually the first time.
Knocking on his Taicho's door, he heard a muffled voice say
"Enter!"
Entering the room, Naruto grinned, "I am Uzumaki Naruto, the new Lieutenant of the 10th Division, and I am reporting for my first da-"
Naruto was cut off by a kick to the face that sent him flying out of the room.
"BAKA! YOU LET YOUR GUARD DOWN! NEVER DROP IT!" the Taicho shouted.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, YOU ASS?!" Naruto shouted as he held his cheek in pain.
"As my Lieutenant, I am expecting you to be powerful! Thusly, you must learn to never drop your guard!" the Taicho declared.
"Geez…first Jiji drops me as his student, now this…" Naruto muttered.
"What was that? Did you say that Yamamoto has dropped you as his student?! How awful! Are you in need of a new Sensei?!"
"Yeah, I am…" Naruto muttered as he stood and walked back into the room.
"Then it is decided! I will be your knew Sensei!" the Taicho shouted.
"Y-You will? For real?! Awesome! So…uh, what did you say your name was again?" Naruto asked.
"Ah, in all the excitement, I forgot to introduce myself! I am…"
(End Flashback)
"What? Why did you stop?" Ishida questioned.
"Er… I really shouldn't say anymore…" Naruto mumbled as he gained curious looks from the group.
"Why not?" Ichigo asked.
Just as Naruto was about to respond, Ichigo's cell phone went off.
"Hello? I'm at The Sly Fox. Okay, I'll be there in a few minutes. Bye," Ichigo said as he closed the phone, "Well, I gotta head home. See you later!"
Ichigo walked out the door. Seeing what time it was, the others followed his suit.
Naruto turned to see Yoruichi glaring at him and tapping her foot.
"I can't believe you almost told them!" Yoruichi scolded the blonde.
"Okay, I'll admit I nearly screwed up there, but they didn't find out!" Naruto replied.
"Just be careful about what you say to them…" Yoruichi said, before walking over to Naruto and smiling lightly, "Now where were we?"
Naruto grinned.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ichigo sat on his bed, trying to block out Kon's complaints.
"I can't take it anymore!" Kon yelled, "I want out! I want contact with a girl's soft skin!"
"You're so annoying. Stop screaming before somebody hears you!" Ichigo yelled at the stuffed animal.
"How can I not scream?! I am trapped in here all day getting abused!" Kon shouted, "When I get out of here I'll sue, you hear me?! I'll sue the hell out of you!"
Suddenly, the badge went off once more, indicating the presence of a Hollow.
Ichigo moved quickly in getting out of his body and Kon into his own.
"Don't do anything stupid!" Ichigo yelled as he jumped out the window, "You got that?!"
"Oh, of course! Take your time~!" Kon called.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"Well, that was easy!" Ichigo stated as he finished off the weak Hollow.
Suddenly, Ichigo felt a presence behind him and turned to block a sword with Zangetsu. Glaring, Ichigo looked at his assailants face, causing his eyes to widen in shock as he recognized the person. It was Shinji Hirako, the new transfer student in his class.
"You're…Shinji?! I-Is that a Zanpakuto?! Who the hell are you?!" Ichigo asked in shock as he looked at Shinji's blade.
Shinji just smiled and held a finger to his lips.
"Hush!" Shinji scolded, "Don't make a ruckus like that…Kurosaki Ichigo. With spiritual pressure such as yours, you can't lose your composure so easily. Otherwise, you'll be found out just as easily."
"…Found out? By whom?" Ichigo questioned, confused.
"You're asking me this? Baka. Do I need to tell you every detail?!" Shinji asked, "Can't you figure it out for yourself?"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ishida was walking home when he stopped. Turning he saw a large Hollow appear from a portal.
'A Hollow?!' Ishida thought. Ishida had lost his Quincy powers during his match with Mayuri, sacrificing them to deal a powerful blow that had torn through Mayuri's stomach.
Just then, the Hollow completely emerged from the portal.
'Just my luck…' Ishida thought with wide eyes.
It was huge.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kon was walking down the street when he stopped and turned around, looking into the nights sky.
"Wha-What was that?!" Kon asked himself, "For a minute there, I thought Ichigo had seen me… Okay, back to enjoying time outside! I have to live the temporary youth to the fullest! "Don't do anything stupid!" Of course not!"
Suddenly, a large Hollow appeared in the air behind Kon.
"Kurosaki…" the Hollow said, "Kurosaki Ichigo…"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ishida dodge as the Hollow's large tongue came flying at him.
"It tore a portal between dimensions? It is a Menos Grande?" Ishida questioned.
The Hollow's tongue returned to it's mouth and prepared to strike again…
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Kon was knocked back by a large explosion as something landed on the road before him.
"Wh-What was that?!" Kon shouted in shock, "Why is everyone always…picking…on…me…"
Kon stopped talking to look at the large Hollow in front of him.
"Y-You…you're…" Kon gasped out, "Grand Fisher!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Urahara, who had come by The Sly Fox for a visit, looked up from his coffee and out the window. Glancing at Naruto and Yoruichi, he assumed his friends had felt it, too.
"Guys…" Yoruichi muttered, "This is…"
Naruto and Urahara said nothing as they continued to stare into the sky.
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ichigo and Shinji jumped back. Shinji looked to his left and scowled, "Their here…"
"Shinji…who are you?!" Ichigo questioned.
"See? I told you so!" Shinji exclaimed as he looked back to Ichigo, "It's all because you left your spiritual pressure unchecked."
"I'm asking you who you are!!" Ichigo yelled.
"…You're so impolite. Do you really care that much about who I am? Fine then. Here, have a look at this…" Shinji said, "Do you know what this is?"
Shinji held up a pharaoh-like Hollow mask, causing Ichigo's eyes to widen and think of Naruto's mask and his own mask.
"A Hollow's mask!" Ichigo said, astonished.
"Correct. A Hollow's mask…and a Zanpakuto," Shinji said, "Don't you get it? I, like Naruto, am a Shinigami that has crossed over…into the domain of the Hollows. So, let's be friends. Naruto and I…we are Vizards…like you."
Ichigo's eyes widened at Shinji's words. His mask…did it make him a Vizard? Was Naruto one, too, than?
"Join us, Ichigo," Shinji spoke, "You don't belong with them."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
Ishida ran as the Hollow chased him, looking back once as he collected his thoughts on it.
'It has such an enormous spiritual pressure…it has to be a Menos… Even though I've lost my Quincy powers, I am not helpless!' Ishida thought as he grabbed some small cans at the Hollow.
"Battle formation of the air, please accept this holy offering! Haizen!" Ishida shouted.
The cans came together to form a tower-like objet made of spiritual energy and hit the Hollow's arm, knocking it off.
'During my breaks in training, I stored some of my spiritual energy,' Ishida thought, 'Even if they cannot defeat the Hollow, it can deal significant damage…'
Ishida's eyes widened when he saw the Hollow's arm grow back and it's upper body disappear.
Noticing it above him, his eyes shot back to the lower half as his brain raced.
'It split in two?!' Ishida thought, 'No…they were separate from the beginning!'
Just as the Hollow's tongue was about to strike Ishida, it was shot off.
Ishida's head snapped around to see who had fired the shot.
"That was unsightly of you…Uryuu."
"You…you're… Ryuuhan," Ishida muttered as he watched his father walk into view.
"…Calling your father by his first name again," Ryuuhan stated, "You never change, do you…Uryuu?"
Ryuuhan turned to face the bleeding Hollow, "You're noisy."
Suddenly, the Hollow exploded.
"Do you see now? It's not about stopping it's regeneration…" Ryuuhan said, "It's about killing it before it can regenerate."
"…How….how is it possible?" Ishida questioned, "I thought you had given up your Quincy powers…"
"Baka," Ryuuhan replied, "My exact words were "I have no interest" and "You have no talent". My powers, unlike your feeble ones, are not as easy to dispose of."
Ishida's eyes widened as he realized the second Hollow had snuck up on him and was about to strike when he was blown to pieces by Ryuuhan.
"Ishida… You went to Seireitei before your powers had reached maturity and came back the powerless fool you are now… However, if I so will it, I can return your powers."
Ishida looked at the man in shock with his mouth agape.
"Hard to believe? I assure you I speak the truth…I have but one condition. You must swear to cease all communications with any Shinigami."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Kon screamed as he ran down the street, trying to escape Grand Fisher.
"W-Wait a minute! Let's not fight in the streets!" Kon shouted, "Please!"
"Why do you run, Kurosaki Ichigo?!" Grand Fisher roared, "Hurry and change into a Shinigami!"
'Dammit! Why do I always run into crap like this?! If I tell him I'm not Ichigo, he won't believe me… Why is his mask half open and his face showing?' Kon thought, 'I've never seen a Hollow like him…is he even a Hollow?'
"Enough!" Grand Fisher shouted, "I only chased you so slowly because I was waitingfor you to become a Shinigami! But I am tired of this!"
Grand Fisher grabbed Kon and slammed him into the ground.
"If you are unwilling to change into a Shinigami…" Grand Fisher spoke, "Then I will just crush you along with your flesh and bones!"
'Crap…I can't move!' Kon thought as he watched Grand Fisher's hand come down.
Without warning, Grand Fisher's attack was blocked.
Kon noticed it was the lucky charm that Isshin Kurosaki had given to Ichigo that morning.
"I told you, take that with you wherever you go! Mr. Hollow, I'm sorry but Ichigo isn't here right now and, this is just a suggestion, but… Why don't you play with me instead?" Isshin Kurosaki said as he walked onto the scene.
Suddenly, Naruto appeared on the scene as well.
"Oh good," Naruto said, "I thought I might of come too late. Yoru-chan and Urahara sent me out to check on the situation, but they'd have killed me if I let Strawberry-chan's body get crushed…Good thing you showed up in time, Isshin-Sensei."
………………………………………………………………………………………………
