A/N: a very short chapter to get it starting after so many months prolly a year! I'm sorry ! Please don't give up on me! Read and review!

Chapter 9

The three new faces shuddered slightly under Naru's glare. Ichigo took the time to validate their reaitsu. But try as he might, he could not sense a single ounce of reaitsu from the three of them and if it were not for their epic arrival, Ichigo doubted he would have known of their presence. It made Ichigo restless. It was either the three of them had no reaitsu or their control over it is so great that he could not sense it. And he was pretty sure it was the latter seeing that it was Naruko whom recruited them. And anyone she recruits under her wing is nothing short of a monster. He wondered what their ability are though, seeing that only one of the trio has swords. Why he has three of them is beyond Ichigo's comprehension though.

XxXxX

Naru began to massage her temples as her the trio in front of her grinned mischievously at her as though they had accomplished the greatest thing of all. Again Naru wondered what had possessed her to recruit these three into her ranks.

Because they are powerful. Pretty much how it was like for your team 7 back in those days.

It was true what Kurama said. She saw her old team in them. It ached badly knowing that she could never be reunited with her friends and family. But that is fine with her, she still has family here. Different than her previous one but that is what makes them special.

She smiled softly at the three of them before sighing heavily.

"Why is it so hard for you to follow what I ask you to do? I'm disappointed in you Luffy. You're supposed to be the captain and the role model but look at what you're teaching your nakama! Zorro! I had expected you to be disciplined by now. Had I not taught you about the importance of discipline in swordsmanship? And you Sanji, you put me to shame. How could you embarrass me by peeping through the girls hot springs. You disrespected my honor as a woman. I am utterly ashamed of the three of you." Naruko reprimanded, putting on her most disappointed and disgusted look on her face.

She knew how to tug on their conscience and she knew if she didn't do it this way, they'll never learn. For now its fine if they did it. But in the future, her reputation and performance of the squad will be on the line. And she won't expect anything less than excellence during the hours of their duty. Off duty, well they could goof around for all she care but now's not the time to be telling them that.

All three looked down in shame as the words their idol sank in. Three heavy clouds of depression rained over their heads as they murmured incoherently.

Naruko shook her head in disappointment again before going up to the three of them until she was was a foot away. Taking a deep breath, she raised her fist that was crackling with lightning, the trio, if possible, looked even more depressed..

A/N: soooo how was it?! Hahahahaha review please and send me your ideas so I can add them in if its interest enough!
