After the rest of the group had woken up, they all sat down to a nice breakfast. Naruto sat on Soifon's lap, while she fed him some cereal. He was a bit cautious to eat it at first, being reminded of the food the rest of the matron gave him, which usually made him cough up blood, but after some reassuring from Soifon, he was happily eating it.

Ichigo turned towards Orihime, "So Orihime, what exactly did you do for the kid?"

Orihime looked at Naruto and smiled, "When I first met him…he was so…injured, brutalized…that he would not have lasted the night. I couldn't stand to see someone like him die so young, or to see his mother cry. So I used my powers and saved his life."

Chad looked at Naruto, "How could people be so cruel to do such things to a child?"

Uryu adjusted his glasses, "The human psyche will try to find ways to handle situations of depression or distress, sometimes this will result in a person becoming increasingly violent towards others. The things they fear will become objects of hate…and this would be the result."

Ichigo narrowed his eyes at Uryu, "Are you saying what happened to the kid was justified?"

Uryu turned towards Ichigo, "Far from it, I am merely stating to Chad a complex fact of the human psyche. That does not mean I justify what happened to the kid in any way shape or form. In fact I abhor the fact that one so young was placed in such an environment."

Soifon looked up at the Ryoka, "Well…I have to head to work, we will be deciding the fate of my sons most adamant abusers today. Even though we have lost three of our captains, they are assured to get the ultimate punishment for what they did to my baby." Soifon gently removed Naruto from her lap, causing the blond to pout.

When Orihime saw the pout she wanted to glomp him and scream, 'KAWAII' but held it in…barely.

Naruto looked up at Soifon, "Kaa-chan, what am I going to do today?"

Soifon smiled as she kneeled down and placed her hands on Naruto's shoulders, "Well sweetie, for the moment I am going to leave you with these nice Ryoka. I have to go do some things for a few hours…I want you to stay with them at all times. I don't want you getting lost in Rukongai; believe it or not, this isn't the best place to live. I choose to live here because I didn't want to live back in the clan home. But once they hear that I have an heir…you, they are likely going to arrange a meeting soon. Besides that fact…later on today we have to go to Mayuri-baka's lab to see exactly what has changed in your body, that way we know how to handle it in the future."

"OH SOIFON!!!" Soifon grabbed her ears as Kushina suddenly appeared behind her and shouted, "How are you doing my gimai?"

Soifon grumbled as she stood up, "Kushina, we aren't gimai's."

Kushina pouted, "But I saw Minato was my little Otouto…and since you are his wife, you are my baby gimai."

Soifon raised an eyebrow, "Baby…I am 153 years older than you for Kami's sake!!!"

Kushina gave Soifon a look reserved for a sibling scolding their younger sibling, "Now Soifon…what did I tell you, age doesn't matter to me."

Soifon threw her arms up in the air as Naruto giggled, "Kushina-daibo is funny Kaa-chan."

Soifon looked at Naruto and couldn't help but giggle at the cute look on his face, "That she is sweetie, that she is." she picked up Naruto and gave him a swift peck on the cheek, "Be good for your daibo and the nice Ryoka, I will be back in about six hours tops…" she set Naruto down and waved as she used Shunpo to get to her destination.

Naruto turned towards the Ryoka and stared at them…they simply stood there as Naruto looked at them, almost as if he was taking in all their features.

Orihime giggled nervously, "Well…how about we properly introduce ourselves…uhm…I'll go first." Orihime pointed to herself, "My name is Orihime Inoue."

Ichigo smiled, "The names Ichigo Kurosaki."

Chad stepped forward and leaned down to Naruto's height, "Yasutora Sado…"

Uryu adjusted his glasses, "Uryu Ishida."

Naruto looked at Kushina…who smiled and did a mock salute, "The name is Kushina Uzumaki, your Daibo!"

Naruto smiled as he pointed to himself, "My name is Naruto Fon Uzumaki…at least, that's what my Kaa-chan says." Naruto looked down, a thoughtful expression on his face. He turned towards Kushina, "Hey…since I have Uzumaki in my name, does that mean my Tou-san was your otouto?"

Kushina smiled, "Well…not exactly, but I thought of him as a little brother. Your dads name was Minato Namikaze; he was the leader of my village."

Everyone's eyes widened as they looked at Kushina, "My Tou-san was Hokage…?"

Ichigo quirked an eye, "Uhm…what's a Hokage?"

Kushina looked at Ichigo, "I'll explain it later…but yes Naruto, your Tou-san was Hokage. In fact he was probably the strongest Hokage to ever live."

Naruto was silent for a minute, "COOL…my daddy was a badass!!!"

…

…

…

Everyone's eyes widened as they heard the language come out of Naruto's mouth. Kushina sighed as she palmed her face, 'Soifon, looks like we have some things to work on.'

Ichigo coughed, "Uhm…how about we all go out for some fresh air, I'm sure Naruto would like to know more about the soul society, no?"

Uryu seemed to think and shrug his shoulders, "Why not…we could all use some fresh air."

Kushina smiled, "Alright then, let's go!" she grabbed Naruto and picked him up as they headed for the doors.

Two Hours Later…Soifon

The Gotei 13…or…what was left of them anyways, walked out of the court chambers. It had been a unanimous decision…well, not counting the 1st division bastards. Fugaku, Homura, Koharu, and Danzo were banished to the lowest pits of hell to suffer for their crimes.

She sighed as she went to head out the door, "Soifon-Taicho…" but turned around to see Kisuke walk up to her, "I believe you might want to see what Mayuri and I managed to gather from the limited data he retrieved from scanning Naruto."

Soifon looked at Kisuke, "Urahara, can't this wait, I have to go check up on my son."

Kisuke placed his hand on her shoulder, "Your son will be fine, I am sure the Ryoka he is with are keeping him safe. This is incredibly important."

Soifon wanted to argue against it…but then she remembered her son's condition. He had partially hollowfied, and add that to the demonic Youki in his body, there was no telling what could happen to him. She relented and looked up at Kisuke, "Alright…but as soon as we are finished I am going to check up on my son, understand?" she grabbed her Zanpaktou for reference.

Kisuke nodded, "Of course…come" he walked in the direction of Mayuri's lab, followed closely by Soifon.

With Naruto

Naruto, Kushina, Ichigo, Orihime, Chad, and Uryu were walking through the Rukon district. Naruto was taking in all of the scenery…when he noticed a young woman near the wall crying. He wiggled away from Kushina's grip and ran over to the woman.

Kushina went to grab Naruto's hand…when he noticed where he was going.

Naruto stopped in front of the woman, "Ano…what's wrong?"

The woman looked up, "I c-can't f-fi-find my son. I h-have be-been looking for h-hi-him for m-months."

Naruto looked down, "What does he look like?"

She wiped her eyes, "H-he has b-brown hair, and ha-hazel eyes."

Naruto smiled, "Ok, I already made a promise to help somebody find his mother…but I promise I will also help you find your son" he stuck his hand out, "My name is Naruto Fon Uzumaki."

The woman gently smiled as she grasped his hand, "Nana Shibata."

…

…

…

Naruto's eyes widened as he heard her surname, "Shibata…did you say Shibata?"

Nana nodded, "Yes, my name is Nana Shibata."

Naruto looked at her, "By any chance is your sons name Yuichi?" Nana's eyes widened as she swiftly nodded her head, "AWESOME!!! Your son is up there…" he pointed to the seireitei…

Nana's eyes widened as she looked at Naruto, then at the seireitei, "M-my ba-baby is up…there?"

Naruto nodded, "Yep, he got injured and a nice lady took care of him. He is currently sleeping in a hospital room."

Nana got up and went to run towards the seireitei, "Hold on lady!" Kushina got in front of her, "Calm down…your son is going to be ok. Naruto's mother is a Taicho of the Gotei 13, once she gets back from her meeting, she can bring you to see your son…ok?"

Nana slowly nodded her head, "A-alright…"

Naruto smiled, "Don't worry…Yuichi will be ok. Just you wait, you two will be together in no time…" he was about to turn around…when his stomach grumbled, causing him to blush in embarrassment.

Orihime giggled, "Looks like somebody's hungry…I know, let's go grab some groceries and we can enjoy some tasty treats!"

Naruto giggled at Orihime's happy disposition, "Orihime Neesan is silly."

Orihime's eyes widened, "W-what did you call me…?"

Naruto instantly stopped giggling and looked down, "Uhm…Neesan…" he looked up at Orihime, "If you don't want me to call you that then…" Orihime leaned down and wrapped Naruto in a hug.

She smiled at Naruto, "I always wanted an otouto…"

Naruto seemed to perk up, "Does that mean I can call you Neesan?"

Orihime smiled as she poked him on the nose, "Of course you can silly. Now come on…let's go shopping!" she ran towards a nearby grocery store, while the rest of the group followed close behind.

Soifon

Soifon walked into Mayuri's lab, and saw the estranged Taicho sitting at his odd computer, which was made in the fashion of an organ, much like the ones one would play in church. On the screen was a full scale diagram of what appeared to be a humanoid figure.

Kisuke and Soifon walked up to Mayuri, "Hey Mayuri, how have those diagrams been going?"

The Taicho of the twelfth division spun around in his seat, a large smile on his face, "Never before have I seen a specimen so unique, Naruto truly is a one of a kind creature. His body is a mixture of four different energies and along with that…"

Kisuke slammed his cane into the ground, "The diagrams Mayuri, what of the diagrams?"

Mayuri grumbled as he turned back around, "Fine, fine…here it is." the image on the screen altered as it showed a full scale diagram of Naruto, "As you can see, this is what the surface area of Naruto's body looks like. His right arm and part of his side have hollowfied. Along with that, it appears as though his left side has taken up traits of the first level of a Jinchuriki's release of their sealed demons power. But if one were to look at him through a reiatsu scanner" he typed in several codes, "You would get this." the screen changed to show a reiatsu diagram.

Naruto's entire right arm and the part of his head that underwent hollowfication had a hollow's reiatsu running through it. While the non hollowfied parts had a red energy running through it. It was clearly not a hollows, but it acted in a similar manner as it coursed through Naruto's body. There was also Shinigami reiatsu fighting back the hollow energy, and the unknown red energy. And underneath all of that, was what Soifon knew was a chakra network…but by the looks of it…there was something else going on.

Mayuri saw Soifon look closer at the diagram…he knew what she was looking at, "Ah, so you do see it…I'll bet you are wondering what it is."

Soifon turned to Mayuri, "Yes…do you know what it is?"

Mayuri typed in several more codes and had it focus in on the point Soifon was examining. They looked closer…and discovered it was a pathway.

The hollow energy was already forming a new reiatsu network so it could properly circulate. They took another look to find that the other energy…which they assumed was Kyuubi's Youki was also forming a network so it could properly flow. The shinigami reiatsu also began to form into coils…but what they found off was the small connectors between the various energy sources.

Mayuri tapped his chin, "Hmmm…intriguing, it seems as though the various energies have made specialized connectors…but there are more connectors to one energy than there are to others in some cases…I wonder why."

Soifon looked at the clock…and noticed that it had been four hours since she left Naruto with the others, "Crap, I have to go!" she quickly ran to the exit while Kisuke and Mayuri watched her run.

"Hmmm, she is much faster than she used to be." Kisuke chuckled, causing Mayuri to frown at him.

"Of course she's faster, she has the right motivation…sigh…I better go and get the reiatsu scanners up and running, there is still the matter of what exactly has changed in young Naruto." he began typing in codes while Kisuke left the lab.

Naruto

Naruto walked out of the store, carrying several bags with various ingredients in it. They had bought a variety of different foods, as well as picked up a few cook books.

Orihime was reading through the cook book, "Let's see…one ounce of sugar, two pints of moose, and a teaspoon of caramel….seems simple enough."

They continued walking towards Soifon's home with Nana in tow; she had offered to help with groceries, which they agreed almost instantly, especially with how much food they bought.

Naruto looked around to see that most of the people there were giving him odd looks. It wasn't looks of hatred like back home…they were more looks of curiosity. It wasn't all that surprising, given his new form. It was pretty obvious he wasn't like everybody else here.

They finally arrived at Soifon's apartment after walking a large distance with several shopping bags. Naruto opened the door to the apartment slowly and placed the groceries on the kitchen floor.

Orihime quickly went to making the food…and for once following the cooking directions with Ichigo's suggestion.

After several minutes of everyone getting everything in order, the door opened to reveal Soifon walking in, "Kaa-chan!" Naruto ran towards Soifon and tackled her leg in a hug, "How was your day Kaa-chan?"

Soifon laughed softly as she picked Naruto up, "Hello Naruto, my day was good…and how about yours?"

Naruto smiled, "It was good…oh wait" he turned towards the kitchen, "Nana, my Kaa-chan is here." a woman quickly rounded the corner and ran towards Soifon, panting.

"Hello, my name is Nana Shibata, I was told my son, Yuichi Shibata is in the Seireitei at the moment…please…I request to be allowed to go to the seireitei and see him. I have been searching for him for months on end. Please…I will do anything if it means I can see my son…"

Soifon placed her hand on the frantic woman, "Ok, ok…calm down…look, I can take you to visit him later tonight, he is still being looked over by the fourth division. He spent a little too much time near sekki sekki rock, and lost a considerable amount of his reiatsu. He should be fine…but until he has fully healed, he needs to remain in the fourth division chambers…he will be fine, I promise."

Nana slowly nodded her head as she sat down, sighing as she tried to calm herself. She would have to wait a little while to see her son…but it would be worth it.

Orihime walked out of the kitchen, "Lunch is ready." and brought tray with several dishes on it. Meat loaf, grilled fish, seasoned acorns, and shredded walnuts. She also brought out a plate of cinnamon rolls for desert. Naruto quickly grabbed the meat loaf as Soifon placed it on his plate and gobbled it down.

They all sat and ate the meal that Orihime had cooked…surprisingly, as compared to her usual dishes, this was extremely good.

Ichigo almost went for seconds…when Orihime smacked his hand with the spoon, "Ow, Orihime, what was that for?!"

Orihime gave him a stern look, "Wait until everyone has had their share before you take seconds."

Ichigo looked away with his usual look…unbeknownst to him; Orihime was blushing as she finished up.

Soifon sighed in content, "Ah that was good" she clapped her hands together, "Alright then…come on Naruto, Nana, let's get going. Kushina, try not to wreck the place."

Kushina scratched the back of her head nervously as she waved her hand, "Oh don't worry, the place will be just as good as the way you left it."

Soifon smirked, "I expect it to…alright then" she picked up Naruto and grasped Nana's shoulder, "See you all later…" she vanished in a Shunpo…not noticing the grin on Kushina's face when she left.

Mayuri's Laboratory

Mayuri was setting up the final scanner as he prepared the table. He had removed all the objects in one room and turned the room into one big reiatsu scanner. It would scan every last bit of reiatsu in a specific object down to the last iota.

Mayuri chuckled as he examined his work, "Finally…now, time to test it out." he pulled out his Zanpaktou and placed it on the place where he would be scanning Naruto's body.

After setting it in exact accordance and assuring his own reiatsu was not still lingering in the room, he walked out of the room and behind the viewing window. He typed in several codes as he began to throw out orders to his researchers, "Nemu, ready the reiatsu scanners, Rin, activate the reiatsu filtering scanners, Hiyosu, read the data for any changes in reiatsu fluctuation, Akon, assist Rin."

He typed in the last few bits of data, "Let the test begin!" he pressed a single button, causing the scanners to flare to life. Several lasers of reiatsu went across Ashisogi Jizo and began to scan each reiatsu particle making up its framework.

Hiyosu was examining the data coming in from the scanners, "Taicho, the scanners are fluctuating normally, there appears to be no change in Zanpaktou structure."

Mayuri smiled, "Excellent…now…onto phase two." he flicked several switches and pulled down a lever, activating another set of scanners as well as charging a specific amount of reiatsu into the sword.

The Zanpaktou glowed as a purple miasma surrounded it, the blade then began to shift until it had completely changed form into Mayuri's Shikai.

Rin checked over the data running across his screen, "The activation of Mayuri-Taicho's Shikai has proven successful, the reiatsu is fluctuating into separate parts forming the severing reiatsu, and the light miasma. The Zanpaktou has also changed reiatsu density."

Mayuri's smirk grew beyond natural proportions, "Excellent…now for the final touch." Mayuri flicked a few switches and a small porthole opened. He placed his hand inside and flicked several switches and pressing in quick codes. Several dozen needles shot out of the porthole side and into his arm "Bankai…"

The Zanpaktou seemed to explode in spiritual pressure as it shifted and grew. The walls quickly opened, revealing several dozen other scanners.

The purple Miasma began to clear thanks to several special filter vents, revealing Mayuri's Bankai, Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo.

Nemu turned towards Mayuri, "Mayuri-sama, Bankai levels are at norm, neural pathways are shifting accordingly. Poison emitted by your Bankai is precise and properly charged. Bankai levels are increasing as reiatsu is applied and absorbed."

Mayuri sighed in content, "Ah, finally…the scanner is up and running." he flicked back several switches and shifted his arm, allowing the needles to return to their portholes. He cracked his arm and wrist bones as he pulled his arm out of the porthole, allowing it to fully close.

Mayuri turned towards the researchers, "Test run…success."

Meanwhile

Soifon appeared in front of the 4th division with Naruto and Nana, who was twitching extremely badly. Soifon let go of Nana, "Check up with the woman at the front desk, she should know."

Nana nodded and quickly bowed, "Thank you…Shinigami-sama." Soifon chuckled as she placed her hand on Nana's shoulder.

"Just call me Soifon…"

Nana smiled, "Thank you…Soifon." she turned around and ran up the steps towards the fourth division desk, while Soifon readjusted her grip on Naruto, "Come on sweetie, let's get going." they vanished in another Shunpo and appeared right in front of Mayuri's laboratory.

The doors to the lab opened, revealing Mayuri's Fukutaicho and artificial daughter Nemu Kurotsuchi, "This way Soifon Taicho." Soifon followed after Nemu as Naruto looked around. The laboratory reminded him a lot of the hospital rooms where the mean people would always hurt him.

He unconsciously tightened his grip on Soifon and whimpered, causing her to hold him a bit closer to her. As they continued to walk through the laboratory they noticed the dozens of specimen vials of various sizes. Some of them contained hollows, while others contained shinigami he had done research on. Others were simply left alone, seemingly reserved for certain cases.

Nemu stopped in front of a door and turned towards Naruto and Soifon, "This is the laboratory where Naruto's reiatsu composition will be scanned. Mayuri-sama has requested that neither of you touch anything, as the instruments are incredibly sensitive." Naruto and Soifon nodded as Nemu opened the doors to the laboratory.

They walked inside to see Mayuri adjusting the scanning instruments. He turned around, "Oh, Soifon, and her young child…I am pleased you could come so soon. Now, I must request that Naruto strip down and put on that outfit right there…" he pointed to a pure black jumpsuit that looked like it would be uncomfortable, "It allows his body to be properly covered, and for his reiatsu to not be deterred in any manner. This will make scanning his body's reiatsu composition much easier."

Naruto looked at his mother, "Kaa-chan…is it safe?"

Soifon kneeled down to Naruto's height, "Well…I know Mayuri may not seem to be the greatest guy…but when it comes down to things like these, he makes sure everything goes accordingly…so I am sure it is safe." she looked up at Mayuri, "But just to be on the safe side…I believe I should step in first."

Mayuri looked at Soifon, "Taicho, I guarantee you that Naruto will be fine, besides, all the instruments have been set to his basic structure and what I managed to gather from the first scan. It will take me a bit of time to readjust them so…" Mayuri shut his mouth as Soifon suddenly pointed her Zanpaktou at his face.

"I said, I am stepping in first…understand?"

Mayuri swallowed the lump that developed in his throat, "Uhm…of course taicho…one second." he quickly went about altering the settings so it was more appropriate for Soifon. Finally after five minutes he turned towards Soifon, "Please step into the scan room so we can assure you that it is safe…but first" he handed her a larger version of the black jumpsuit, "I must request that you put this on."

Soifon grumbled to herself as she put it on. Once she finished her figure was perfectly complimented by the suit. It showed off every curve and each muscle. Akon found himself ogling her figure…making Naruto glare and growl at the researcher.

Soifon stepped into the scanner and laid on the table. The reiatsu scanners sprung to life as Mayuri began barking orders at the other researchers.

Finally after ten minutes, the process was completed and Soifon stepped out of the scan room. Mayuri had a smug look on his face, "So…are you now certain that the machine is safe?"

Soifon looked at Mayuri, "Don't blame a mother for keeping her child safe." she kneeled next to Naruto, "Ok Naruto…I want you to be calm while Mayuri scans your body over. This is just a checkup to make sure that everything has gone ok with you after the transformation…" she gave her son a hug as she began to help him into the suit…then froze as she clutched her nose, "After this is done though…you need a bath."

Naruto looked down, "Sorry Kaa-chan, I was never allowed to bathe at the orphanage, and I don't get running water in my apartment."

Soifon sighed as she patted his head, "Don't worry, that is going to change when this is over…ok?"

Naruto nodded and smiled; "Ok…" he finished putting on the rest of the jumpsuit and began to squirm uncomfortably as he walked into the scanner. He got up on the table and laid down.

Mayuri gave everyone their orders as he flicked off several switches, engaged several pylons, and activated the first set of scanners.

The scanners sprung to life and hovered over Naruto, sending data directly towards the control room.

Hiyosu extended his eyes out and turned towards Mayuri, "The scanners are picking up four energy sets, the data tracker I am using is not enough to filter through all of it, shall I activate the others?

Mayuri turned towards Hiyosu, "Do you need to ask?! Dot it!" Hiyosu quickly activated four more data trackers and had the separate energy data separate into each viewer. All the while making sure the scanners picked up everything.

Rin and Akon watched as Naruto's natural reserves randomly fluctuated in uneven intervals, "Taicho, his reiatsu is uneven and has no direct pattern, it is fluctuating between minor levels and those equaling a seated officer."

Mayuri flicked several switches, "Activate the data tracking and suppressor units. Make sure his reiatsu does not go out of control or the scanners will shut down from overload."

Akon quickly ran over to the activation panels and did as he was ordered.

Nemu turned towards Mayuri, "Mayuri-sama…final stages are almost completed, the data will take a few minutes to accumulate to the central database.

Mayuri snarled, 'Fine then, just make sure we don't lose any of it!!!" he typed in several more codes and began flicking off scanners and activating other various machines.

After five minutes, Mayuri sighed as he sat back in his chair, "Alright…you can take your son now Soifon. We will contact you at a later date to supply you with what we have gathered."

Soifon nodded, "Thank you Mayuri-Taicho." she grabbed Naruto's clothes and ran into the scanning room and quickly placed Naruto back in his clothes. They left the building and headed off to one of the nearby onsens.

Nemu flicked several switches as a door opened in the laboratory, "Mayuri-sama, the data has been compiled towards the central database."

Mayuri stood up and headed towards the door, "Good…now we just have to see what is going on with Naruto's body." as he walked in the room…inside was the largest screen any of them had ever seen. It was connected to several organic looking tubes that seemed to charge energy into it, and it had several chairs and key sets, so it was likely capable of housing multiple researchers.

Mayuri sat down and cracked his fingers before he began to type, "Now…where is that data?" he looked for several moments…before he finally found it, "Ah…here it is." he typed in codes and accessed the file, revealing its contents,

The data appeared on the entire screen and began to scroll down the thousands upon thousands of data streams, showing every last detail…but it wasn't stopping at all.

Mayuri's eyes were practically glued to the screen as he watched the data streams…a massive grin graced his features as a crazed look came into his eyes, 'So…much…data…' he turned his head to look at the researchers behind him.

Akon saw the look on Mayuri's face, "Uhm…Taicho, why are you looking at us like that?"

…

…

…

"AAAAAGHHHHHHHH!!!" Rin, Akon, Hiyosu, and Nemu were thrown out the nearest window out of the research building and crashed into the ground. Leaving a large cloud of dust where they landed.

Mayuri poked his head out the window, "I don't want anybody bothering me until I open the front gates…HAHAAAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!" he slammed the window shut…and as if his voice was a command, the windows on every floor were shut by a large metal plate, and the doors were closed with a reiatsu enforced armor.

As the cloud cleared, it revealed Akon being crushed under Hiyosu, Rin, and Nemu, "So…that's why he was looking at us like that…Ow"

Agurra of the Darkness and dracohalo117 will update this story as soon as we can. Please leave reviews in the review section so we may improve some of our storyline in the near future.
