Chapter 10
Nozomi grabs the hilt of her sword and jumps towards Shunsui and Jurshio.
"Nozomi!", Naruto yells at her worriedly and the others are surprised.
"I will be the one to end this!", Nozomi says fkying towards them.
"So we have to fight the little lady? The hard part will be catching her while she's still in one piece", Shunsui said with his hat covering his eyes.
"Yes. You know what her zanpaktuo's ability is, I trust?", Jushiro said looking at Shunsui both still floating above them in midair.
"Of course. We can't skip up and let our swords touch hers. Or we can kiss our reiatsu goodbye", Shunsui says looking at Nozomi's zanpaktuo.
Nozomi yells then swings and both Shunsui and Jurshiro dodge.
Naruto flash steps behind Shunsui while Ichigo flash steps behind Jurshiro.
Nozomi is heading for Shunsui but Naruto wraps his arms around her not lett'ng her go.
"Naruto, let me go!", Nozomi yells but Naruto won't budge.
"I will protect you", Naruto says glaring at Shunsui.
"How scary", Shunsui says and his eyes widen seeing Naruto flash stepped in front of him while still holding Nozomi and swings his zanpaktuo which Shunsui barely dodges.
"Will you stop testing me like I'm a scared kitten. If you want to help me then stop treating me like a kid!", Nozomi yells and Naruto looks down sadly.
"If I do stop treating you like that... I may lose you forever", Naruto says and Nozomi looks at Naruto with sympathy. Nozomi hugs Naruto,
"I'll never leave you", Nozomi says.
"Ah that's sweet, now can we get back to the fight", Shunsui says making them angry and they let go of each other.
"We fight together", Naruto says and she nods. Both charge. Shunsui begins to move fast countering there attacks and his cheek gets cut by Naruto's zanpaktuo. Shunsui spins around making both Naruto and Nozomi jump back and land on the ground. There standing where Yamamoto's flames are surrounding them.
"Huh? Where did he go?", Naruto said not seeing him in the sky anymore.
Both Naruto's and Nozomi's eyes widen seeing two blades coming from there shadows. One sword coming from both shadows. Both block the zanpaktuo's and Shunsui begins to rise from there shadows.
"Ok, I did not see that coming. Coming from the shadows", Naruto said surprised.
"Exactly. It's called Kageoni", Shunsui says and both Naruto and Nozomi jump in the sky.
"You two caught on fast. No shadows for you two, no Kageoni for me. Thing is, Katen Kyoukotsu knows plenty of other games. For example!", Shunsui says and flash steps above them.
"Whoever stands highest gets stronger! Takaoni!", Shunsui says hitting both of his swords against there's but did nothing.
"But I guess I dint get to play that one right now. If we cross blades, after all, you'll steal my reiatsu", Shunsui says and throws a kick hitting Nozomi sending her to the ground and Naruto flash steps behind her and catches her and both hit the ground making a big dust cloud.
"Oops. That might have been overkill...", Shunsui says and the dust clears showing Naruto's back in a creator and Nozomi on top of him.
Nozomi gets off of Naruto but he doesn't get up.
"Damn that hurt, how long have i've been fighting", Naruto says and gets up weakly.
"Oh, good. If I got you hurt, I'd never hear the end of it afterwards", Shunsui says smiling.
"Irooni...black", Shunsui says and appears in from of Nozomi and slashes her but Naruto intercepts it getting slashed instead. Naruto spits out blood and falls to one knee.
They hear Ichigo yell bankai and Shunsui turns seeing Ichigo chafing up a black getsuga tensho.
"Getsuga Tenshou!", Ichigo yells swings his blade but Jushiro flash steps in front of the attack and absorbs it with his shiki. He points his other zanpaktuo at Naruto then fires and the blast consumes him.
"When you fight, you really should try to understand what your opponent is capable of. Otherwise you'll waste an attack after all that effort to set it up", Jurshio says turning to a tired Naruto who dodged the attack, Ichigo and Nozomi. Naruto's eyes widen feeling Yamamoto's Ryujin Jakka unleash his flames upon reigai unahana breaking through the seal on him.
"Naruto! Ichigo! Nozomi!", Kon yells seeing the flames coming towards them.
Naruto grabs Nozomi and Ichigo and flash steps away.
"Yo dumbass! You didn't help us fight at all!", Naruto yells but the captain ignores him.
"Was he planning on wiping Nozomi out?", Naruto thinks angrily looking at the head captain.
"Getting rid of me is one sure way of foiling Kageroza's plans", Nozomi says.
"But that's...", Naruto says looking at Yamamoto angrily.
"However... I'm not going to die!", Nozomi says.
"I hear ya!", Ichigo says with his arm still wrapped around Nozomi earning a glare from Naruto.
"How long do you plan to keep groping me? I'm fine", Nozomi says glaring at Ichigo.
"My bad", Ichigo says apologizing and taking his hand away.
Naruto flash steps next to Yamamoto.
"I've hit an idea but follow it", Naruto says and Yamanoto just stairs at Naruto.
AFTER THE PLAN
"Very well", Yamanoto says and Naruto nods and flat steps away.
Shunsui and Jurshio flash step in from of Yamanoto.
"Well old man Yama. I wasn't expecting that to happen", Shunsui says smiling.
"Let me show you brats not to anger me", Yamamoto says and swings Ryujin Jakka sending a massive blast of fire at Shunsui. Jurshio flash steps in front of Shunsui and absorbs the fire with his zanpaktuo and about to fire when Naruto flash steps in front of him and grabs his zanpaktuo pushing it to the side and it is now aiming at Shunsui making his eyes widen.
"Crap", Shunsui thinks.
"Oh no!", Jushiro thinks and his attack was unleashed engulfing Shunsui. After the attack Naruto still isn't letting go and a hollow mask forms on his face. Naruto elbows Jurshio Ukitake in the stomach and makes him stumble back. Ukitake's eyes queen and turns to see Yamamoto with Ryujin Jakka ready.
"Kaminari Shūryō!", Naruto yells sending a black lightning wave at Jurshiro while Yamamoto sends a wave of blazing fire at Jurshiro making a huge lightning flame explosion.
Naruto and Yamamoto are watching the flames to see Unohana walking out of it along with two injured captain reigai. Kenpachi and Byakuya. Byakuya grabs the two kid souls on the ground and puts them in his pocket to give to Kageruza so he can creat new bodies for Jushiro and Shunsui.
"Though you be a importer, truly you wield the power of my students. Else you would have fallen after what just transpired", Yamamoto said and all three charge.
"That will suffice!", someone yells stoping all three of them.
"I thank you die your efforts, lady and gentlemen. Please at so back now", he says and all three move out of the way, they then flash step away.
"The rest is for me to deal with", Kageroza says entering through the flames shocking them all except Yamamoto.
"Kageroza Inaba", Yamamoto says and there facing face to face.
"You live up to your reputation, General Yamamoto. Even with the power of several captains combined, you are too powerful to hold in I regret to infirm you this has all gone according to plan", Kageroza says and turns to Nozomi which Naruto flash steps next to her.
"I will obtain Nozomi with my own hands, and enact the fulfillment of my wish", Kageroza says getting ready to fight he flash steps in front of Yamsnoto and swings his zanpaktuo which Yamanoto dodges. Yamamoto swings his zanpaktuo but Kageriza flash steps away into the sky and Yamamoto jumps after him and swings his blade again which Kageriza flash steps away. Naruto, Nozomi and Ichigo flash step next to Yamamoto.
"Old man, watch out when you face him. His zanpaktuo's ability is quite dangerous", Naruto said and Yamanoto turns to him
"Who do you think you're speaking to, whelp?", Yamanoto said.
"I'm speaking to an elderly old man who seems to not know what the fuck he's doing", Naruto says which earns a glare from Yamanoto.
"I already know of his ability", Yamanoto says and Naruto blinks and rubs the back of his head sheepishly.
"Oh, eheheheh, sorry about what I said. I tabs it back but not the elderly part. Your still an old man, but that's not the point", Naruto says turning back to Kageroza.
"It would be dire indeed if he duplicated my skills", Yamamoto says.
"So what's the plan?", Ichigo said.
"All we need do is attack without giving him the opportunity", Yamanoto said.
"See, that's what I'm saying!", Naruto said getting ready to think of a plan.
"Use me as bait", Nozomi says drawing there attention.
"Are you serious!", Naruto yells at her.
"Do it. It's all I can do", Nozomi says.
"But...", Naruto is stopped by Nozomi kissing him on the lips and she puts her left hand to his cheek. Yamanoto is quite surprised seeing this kind of affection the mod soul is showing to Naruto.
"I'll be fine", Nozomi says and Naruto sighs then Nozomi smiles.
"Find", Naruto says.
"Hey, old man!", Ichigo said looking at Yamamoto.
"Very well", Yamamoto says surprising them.
Nozomi moves close to Yamanoto and unkown to Kageroza, Nozomi is absorbing some of Ryujin Kakka's flames.
Nozomi changes at Kageroza.
Nozomi swings and Kageriza flash steps right next to her.
"Do you intend to cross blades with me and absorb my reiatsu? Regrettably, I have no intention of falling for your stratagem", Kageroza says and begins dishing her attacks easily. Nozomi begins yelling him ding her zanpaktuo to the side and glows bright pink shocking Kageroza.
"When did you have time?!", Kageriza says and remembers the closeness Yamamoto and she were.
"But it is still not enough!", Kageroza yells spinning his zanpaktuo and disappears from the wave Nozomi sends. He then appears behind her.
"I told you it was a wasted effort!", Kageroza yells and his eyes widen all the way because Yamamoto is in front of him. Kageroza turns to him with sweat coming down his face.
Yamanoto yells and slashes at Kageriza who spins his zanpaktuo.
"Negate!", Kageroza yells and the flames are being held back. Kageroza's eyes widen and turns to see Naruto and Ichigo wearing hollow masks.
"We're putting all our reiatsu in this!", Ichigo and Naruto says at the same time.
"Substitutes Soul Reaoers!", Kageroza yells.
GETSUGA TENSHO!/KAMINARI SHURYO!
Naruto and Ichigo yells swinging there zanpaktuo sending a wave that fuses together surprising Ichigo and Naruto.
The attack hits creating a huge explosion.
Naruto and Ichigo's masks break apart and both are breathing tiredly.
"Did we...get him?", Ichigo said and starts to fall from the sky.
"Ichigo!", Naruto yells standing text to Nozomi.
He's about to catch him when the smoke disperses showing Kageroza still alive but creating tiredly.
"That was disturbingly close", Kageroza says and Yamamoto's left eye widens all the way and both Naruto and Nozomi are chocked.
"My predictive powers...we're superior to yours. Ryujin Jakka's power is indeed to be feared. But I duplicated Nozomi's zanpaktuo's power at the earliest opportunity. I then used it to absorb your attacks", Kageroza says and sticks his zanpaktuo in the air which blue electricity comes from the blades on the end of the zanpaktuo.
"Now, Raikuu is endowed with the power of all three Head Captain Yamamoto's Ryujin Jakka and the substitutes attacks. Even the dressed head captain should not walk away unharmed from a blow of this magnitude. Ahahahahahah! The time has come! With this, it all ends!", Kageroza yells and spins his zanpaktuo unleashing a humongous blast at them.
Naruto puts a hand to his face.
"I need to use hollowfication 2!", Naruto thinks and creats the mask. He starts to focus his reiatsu into his zanpaktuo like Yanamoto is doing as well. Nozomi suddenly flash steps in front of them.
"The girl!", Yamamoto said surprised seeing her.
"Nozomi!", Naruto yells not wanting her to get hurt.
"It can't be!", Kageroza says shocked she would do this. The blast hits Nozomi's zanpaktuo and it begins to be absorbed.
"She can't handle all that reiatsu! She'll be killed by it!", Naruto yells and starts to see the zanpaktuo crack under to much pressure.
"Stop! You cannot do this!", Kageroza yells not being able to stop the attack.
"Could it be...trying to protect us?!", Yamanoto says and Nozomi's zanpaktuo cracks more.
"You cannot absorb any more! Flee, Nozomi!", Kageroza yells not wanting her to be killed and still needing her for his plan. Nozomi's zanpaktuo cracks even more on the verge of breaking.
"Please stop! You will perish!", Kageroza yells and Yamamoto finally realizes what will happen to her.
Nozomi's zanpaktuo breaks.
"Stand aside!", Yamanoto yells covering the girl as well as Naruto and releases a great amount of spirutal pressure. Both begin to overpower Kageroza's attack greatly making a giant explosion.
Kageroza, Naruto, Yamamoto and Nozomi hit the ground.
"Head captain!", Rukia yells running to him.
"Old dude!", Kon yells right behind Rukia.
Yamamoto is on the ground injured and bends down to him.
"Please hold on, Head Captain!", Rukia says and Kon looks up seeing Nozomi falling.
"No-Nozomi!", Kon yells and before Nozomi hits the ground Naruto shunpo's under her and catching her in his arms. Half of his hollow mask is broken and now the mask falls to pieces.
"Thank goodness your ok", Naruto says smiling and Nozomi smiles back and both remember the head captain.
Naruto lets down Nozomi and both run to him along with Kon.
"Why?", Nozomi says looking straight at Yamamoto.
"Why what?", Yamamoto said looking up at her.
"Why would you protect a mod soul?", Nozomi says questionably.
"Make no mistake, halfwit child. You are a good millennium too young to
Be trying to defend me. Besides, fir all this talk of mod souls, you are but a little girl", Yamamoto says and Naruto smiles. Naruto then stops and falls to his knees drawing everyone's attention and the falls to the ground also deactivating bankai.
"Naruto!", Nozomi says worriedly and lays his head on her lap.
"It's ok, I just over used my power. Give me some time and I'll be able to fight again", Naruto said and Yamanoto then collapses.
"Head captain!", Rukia yells.
Naruto looks up angrily seeing Kageroza getting back up.
"He can still fight after that?!", Naruto says she sees Ichigo standing up. Kageroza then gets up weakly.
"He just doesn't know when to stop!", Kon says.
"Nozomi...you are unharmed. Splendid...", Kageroza says smiling.
Kageroza then walks closed to Nozomi.
"You have no chance, Nozomi. You cannot fight with a Zanpaktuo like that", Kageroza says and Naruto starts to get up weakly but falls to his knees.
"Damn it, I can't get up!", Naruto thinks angrily.
Renji and Ichigo flash step in front of them.
"Substitute Soul Reaper... Why must you always stabs in my way?", Kageroza says annoyed and points his zanpaktuo at them.
"Nozomi dies mr want to go with you. So I'll make sure she doesn't. That's all there is to it!", Ichigo yells at Kageroza.
"She does not want to go with me? Why ever not? How can you say such things?!", Kageroza says and Naruto narrows his eyes at Kageroza but then falls to the ground and can't get up.
"You what?!", Ichigo says not understanding what he means.
"Are you high or something! There's no way shed ever want to go with you!", Kon yells and Kageroza laughs a little.
"This concerns the one who created Nozomi. Her father. You might say. I shall complete his research", Kageroza says.
"Complete it?", Ichigo says.
"You mean that whole thing about ruling soul society and the human world? You think that crap'll make Nozomi happy?", Kon says.
"Why not? I am happy. Thus, surely Nozomi must also be happy", Kageroza says kissing Naruto off more.
"You're one twisted son of a bitch!", Kon yells.
"Nozomi is nothing like you!", Naruto says.
"Ehehehahahahahah!", Kageroza laughs in his sleeve.
"I do beg your pardon. Ahahahahahah!", Kageroza says.
"What's so funny?", Ichigo says angrily.
"You-You speak almost as if you thought you could understand Nozomi. Ahahahaha. Unfortunately for you, it is I alone who truly understands her", Kageroza says.
"What?!", Kon yells and turns to Nozomi who looks away sadly.
"Ahahahahahah!", Kageroza laughs at the display.
"What are you talking a out?", Ichigo said.
"It is simplicity itself. Nozomi and I were originally born from the same Soul Reapers spirit particles. Ahahahahahah", Kageroza says and Nozomi looks even more saddened.
"I don't care!", Naruto says and punches the ground and starts to get up.
"I don't care what she is. I'm in love with her and nothing will ever change that!", Naruto yells and Kageroza stairs at him with distaste while Nozomi is looking at Naruto with shock. Naruto then charges at Kageroza who friend and easily whacks Raijin out if Naruto's hands and raises his sword.
"Please don't!", Nozomi yells not wanting to see Naruto die in front of her, but its already to late and Kageroza slashes Naruto's chest making him fall to his knees and Nozomi falls to her knees with tears in her eyes. Naruto looks and sees the tears. Kageriza raises his zanpaktuo again.
"It seems she finally remember. Ahahahahahah", Kageroza says swings down. Everything starts to appear in slow motion.
Naruto hears crying but its not from Nozomi. It's coming from the two zanpaktuo's. Nozomi's and Kageroza's.
Time speeds up.
"You feel alone don't you", Naruto said and before the zanpaktuo makes contact it stops on its own shocking Kageroza.
"What the?!", Kagetoza says and lifts again and swings down but before it can touch Naruto it stops.
"I hear your crying and I know what it feels like being alone. After my mother died, I felt alone and after my father died I felt all alone but I was wrong. My friends and my zanpaktuo make me feel like I'm never alone. Don't worry, I'll help you to someday and that's... A promise", Naruto says and falls to the ground passed out.
"What did he do to my zanpaktuo? Why won't it hit him?", Kageroza thinks.
TIME SKIP
Naruto's eyes open and looks around to see he's in Urahara's shop.
Naruto sees Urahara and the others.
"Hey where's Nozomi?", Naruto says looking around but doesn't see her or feel or reiatsu.
They look down sadly and Naruto's eyes widen.
"I'm sorry, but Kageroza has her. It was all my fault. I couldn't protect her", Ichigo says and Naruto eyes widen all the way.
"No... No this can't be... It can't... I promised I would always protect her... NOZOMI!", Naruto yells with tears falling from his eyes.
MINDSCAPE
"The one he loves has been kidnapped", Raijin says liking at Hollow Naruto staring at the storm.
"I already know, I feel his heart in pain. We must help protect Nozomi. She is the queen to our king", Hollow Naruto says.
