Here's my next chapter.

Chapter 10: Invasion VII- Mission Failure

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kill her right in front of her boyfriend!"

Capt. Hitsugaya's eyes widen as Kisame lifted his sword up in the air. Momo closed her eyes as she waited for the blade to come down.

"Momo!" Toshiro called out as he flew toward Momo.

The Itachi Clone quickly moved in front of him, preventing Toshiro from advancing.

"Your friend will pay the price for your incompetence," the Itachi Clone said.

The two watched as Kisame kept his sword up in the air.

"Kisame, what are you waiting for?"

"I-I can't move! I'm frozen in place!" Kisame replied.

Toshiro and the Itachi Clone were startled, but the clone immediately knew why...

"Welcome to the Soul Society, Naruto Uzumaki."

Toshiro turned towards where the clone was looking at. There it was, a boy with yellow hair wearing an orange/black jacket staring at the Uchiha. Naruto with his friends and Bowser surrounded the enemies.

"Itachi Uchiha," Naruto said, "I don't know what's going on, but I'm not going to let you get away with this."

"Oh? How do you intend to stop us?" The Itachi Clone asked confidently.

Naruto quickly charged towards Kisame, who was still paralyzed, and kicked him towards the wall. Momo watched as the ninja smiled back at her. Naruto went over to Shikamaru and gave him a thumbs up.

"Hmm, impressive, but that alone won't stop us," The clone said.

"Then, how about you deal with us?"

Everyone turned towards the south and saw the entire Gotei 13 Captains appearing behind Captain Hitsugaya.

"Captain, are you alright?" Bowser asked.

"I'm fine, Bowser, but what is going on here?" Capt. Hitsugaya asked.

Bowser sighed, "It's a long story. First, we must get the Akatsuki out of the Soul Society."

The Itachi clone smiled.

"What's so funny?" Kiba asked.

"I'm sorry, but it's time to leave..." the clone suddenly self-destructed into black flames.

"Everybody, get back!" Naruto called out.

They moved back in time to see the flames quickly formed into two people...

...the Real Itachi and Morpheus.

To the captains' horror, they saw a sword with flames coming out of it.

"No! He has the Flamberge Sword!" Captain Ukitake called out.

Toshiro's eyes narrowed.

Morpheus went over to pick up Kisame's unconscious body before walking back up to Itachi.

"I apologize for leaving so soon, but we are on a tight schedule," Itachi said.

Everybody watched as Itachi showed off the Flamberge Sword. Its blade looks like it is on fire.

"What are you planning, Itachi?" Naruto asked.

"The Flamberge Sword, the Vorpal Sword and the Soul Society's greatest asset will all soon be ours. Naruto Uzumaki, Captains of the Soul Society, I bid you farewell."

With that, they vanished quickly without a trace.

"We got to stop them!" Kiba called out.

"It's too late. The speed they're going, we can't catch them," Bowser said.

Naruto stared at the sky, wondering what Itachi was talking about.

'The Soul Society's greatest asset? I don't like where this is going.'

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soul Society- 1st Division: 5 Hours Later

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It had been hours since Itachi and his team left the Soul Society. Renji who was seriously hurt by Itachi was healed by the Fourth Division and by Sakura (Bowser's idea); Toshiro was recovering from Itachi's assault. Momo was all right, she sat by, waiting for her Shiro-chan to get better.

The Leaf Village Ninja and the other captains were in Yamamoto's office. They could not believe that the Akatsuki was able to get ahead of them in the game.

"The Akatsuki are after the Flamberge and the Vorpal Swords," Bowser of Squad Ten, Fifth Seat began, "if that's the case."

"We maybe facing a crisis far greater than Aizen and his Arrancar put together," Capt. Ukitake added.

"We must get the Sword back from these Akatsuki people, the two swords must not allow to be together," Head Captain Yamamoto said.

Naruto raised his hand, "Why can't they be together? Are they that powerful?"

"Yes, there has been a rumor about the swords. They say that if they are wielded together..."

Suddenly, Naruto and his friends' eyes widen in absolute fear.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, Naruto," Bowser said, after their talk with the Captains, "what are you going to do now?"

Naruto shook his head, "Itachi said something about the Soul Society's greatest asset. What does he mean by that?"

"We have an ally who is a Soul Reaper like us, but he is a Substitute Soul Reaper."

"Can we meet him?" Naruto asked.

"Yeah, I think you can meet him. You and your friends can go to school and see him for yourself," Bowser replied.

Naruto fumed, "Forget it, I'm not going to any school! Even if it is to meet someone, I am not going to school! I'm going to train to get ready to face Itachi again!"

"I can get Captain Zaraki to help you train," Bowser said, pointing at the Eleventh Division Captain.

Naruto saw the huge Captain as he smiled wildly at him. Naruto quickly walked towards Bowser again.

"Actually, I'll do the school thing of yours," Naruto said, disappointedly.

Bowser smiled, "Don't worry, you and your friends are going to be fine."

He patted Naruto on the shoulder and they walked towards the Tenth Division.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Soul Society- Tenth Division

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Wait, Bowser, you aren't coming?" Sakura asked.

Bowser shook his head, "I must remain here for the time being. My captain and I are going to do some research about the Swords."

Sakura nodded.

"Besides, Itachi may already be at Karakura Town looking for Ichigo, so you must hurry. Captain Hitsugaya has already informed the Kido Corps to open the senkaimon gate for you. You'll have to go through the Dangai since you all lack a Hell Butterfly."

Naruto and his friends nodded. They were ready to head for Karakura Town...and their next adventure.
