Disclaimer: i dun own Naruto or Bleach...

The reason why this chapter is so short is because i needed to get it out of the way. This scene was taking to long to think out and i couldn't just skip it so i made it short...sorry readers. The Authors out there know what i mean right?

Hopefully, things will go smoothly and i can start updating faster now...

Well Enjoy!

"Kuchiki Rukia, you are to be apprehended and immediately brought to Soul Society to face your punishment for breaking our laws." Byakuya stated.

Naruto was shocked and stared at Rukia who had her head bowed in submission.

"What have you done Rukia?" he asked.

"She gave all of her Shinigami powers to a ningen." Renji answered. Not to mention the fact that she never got her powers back, but that's impossible. For the amount of time she's been here, her powers should have come back. Something fishy is going on…

"Why haven't your powers come back?" Naruto asked her.

"I don't know Naruto." She replied equally confused.

Naruto turned to Byakuya who was staring unemotionally ahead, but Naruto could see confusion furrow his brow a bit.

"In any case, we must leave. Renji, open the gate." Byakuya said.

"Hai." Renji was about to open the gates when they felt an immense amount of reiatsu headed their way.

"RUKIA!!" the figure yelled as he came closer.

"Ichigo, stay back you fool!" Rukia yelled back at the orange haired teenager who was wearing Shinigami outfit and holding a huge zanpaktou.

That zanpaktou is in its shikai state. Naruto thought. He heard Kyuubi growl in agreement.

Your reiatsu is stronger though. As is Gaara's since you both were vessels for the biju.

Do you think that Shukaku is with Gaara right now?

Yes, I sensed the baka tanuki's aura coming from the academy area. The orange haired baka doesn't know how to control his reiatsu. That is why his zanpaktou is in its shikai state. He's probably like you when you were a genin and couldn't regulate your chakra correctly.

And since, reiatsu and chakra are kind of alike,

Right, the baka is a magnet for Hollows.

Naruto watched Renji and Ichigo fight with Kyuubi watching through his eyes. Ichigo stumbled from a hard blow and was gasping for air.

But even with all that chakra, I had the stamina to keep up with it.

"Ichigo run away!" Rukia yelled when Ichigo was dealt a harsh blow to his back.

"Urusai!" Ichigo yelled back.

"I-Ichigo…" Rukia said with wide eyes.

"Just shut up. Urahara told me what was going to happen to you and I refuse to let you go back and possibly get killed!" Ichigo stated. Suddenly he was punched in the face and flew back into the middle of the street.

"You don't get it do you?" Renji asked and flexed his hand.

"Get what?" Ichigo asked.

"It's your goddamn fault that she's going to be on trial! It's your fault that she lost her power! And if killing you will give it back, then so be it. Houerou Zambimaru!" Renji yelled.

Naruto gasped when Renji released his shikai. Ichigo was getting torn up and bleeding. He was about to step in when he felt Ichigo's aura change. There was no more fear or logic. Everything was instinct. Ichigo was gaining the upper hand.

When Renji flew back and his headband broken, Naruto felt the air shift and felt, more then saw, Byakuya going to attack Ichigo.

"Kuchiki-taicho matte (wait)!" Naruto yelled and went after him.

"Osoi (slow)…" Byakuya said and landed the first blow on Ichigo's body. Before he could deliver the second, he was blocked.

Renji and Rukia gasped in shock while Ichigo's eyes widened.

I-impossible! He matched Kuchiki-taicho for speed?! I could barely see the first blow much less the second, and he blocked it?! Renji thought.

Naruto block Nii-sama's attack without using his shikai? Rukia wondered.

Byakuya's eyes had widened then narrowed. Naruto was standing in front of him with his blade forcing Byakuya's away from Ichigo's unconscious body.

"What is the meaning of this?"

"You have already given him a fatal blow destroying his ability to ever use his reiatsu and turn into a Shinigami. Our objective was to retrieve Kuchiki Rukia and deal with the one she gave her power to. He is noting more than a ningen now with no reiatsu. Our mission is finished."

"Naruto what are you—" Renji started but was cut off.

"He will die from blood loss if we leave him here." Naruto stated.

Naruto and Byakuya stared at each other for an uncomfortable minute before Byakuya sheathed his sword.

"Open the gate Renji."

"H-Hai."

"Arigato gozaiamasu Kuchiki-taicho." Naruto said with a bow.

Byakuya stared at the blond before turning away and walking through the open gate. Renji followed in next then Rukia. She paused though and turned back to look at Ichigo again before leaving.

When Naruto was alone, he stared at Ichigo and sighed. He looked at the open gate and walked towards it and stopped.

"Take care of him Urahara-san. I have a feeling that he will be needed soon." Naruto said and walked through the gate.

A figure from the shadows stepped into the light in the abandoned street. A blond haired man with a green and white beach hat stared at the closed gate then looked down at his new charge.

"Wakarimashita (Understood/ I understand)."
