Chapter 25:

Naruto blearily looked up, then blinked. 'Huh?'

"Finally up, dobe?"

Naruto grunted, turning to see Sasuke. "Definitely not the first thing I wanted to wake up to."

"Naruto-kun!"

Naruto grinned, turning and hugging Hinata as she ran up to him. "Great to see you!" he said, gently kissing her.

Sasuke darkly looked on, thinking back.

-x-x-x-

Sasuke stared, aghast, at the damage in the surrounding area.

"What caused this..."

Jiraiya grunted. "Naruto's new jutsu. He not only got the Rasengan down...but just plain perfected it."

He sighed. "Sure was dead tired, though. Judging from the chakra exhaustion alone, I'd say he would be unconscious for around...four days." He paused, then corrected himself, ", Tops."

He whistled. "One hell of a ninja, and one hell of a shinigami..."

-x-x-x-

Sasuke angrily clenched his fist. 'He started out a pitiful weakling...and now is a master Shinigami with Bankai at his disposal, and knows an A-ranked jutsu, better than the Chidori!'

Gritting his teeth, he stood up from a stool, walking out.

Outside of the hospital, he stared up at the sky. "I need more power!" he screamed. "Damn you Itachi! I need more power!"

"Power?"

Sasuke choked, falling to his knees. 'That spirit pressure!'

He glanced around. 'Can no one else feel it?'

Then, he looked up, swallowing.

A tall man, with a bony jaw and electric blue hair was grinning at him.

"My names Grimmjow. And as you can see..." he said, cracking his neck and releasing another pulse of energy.

"...I've got power to spare."

Sasuke growled, then pulled out a small candy from his pocket.

_-X-X_-

"Now remember, Sasuke, these are for emergencies only!" Urahara scolded.

Sasuke rolled his eyes. "Whatever. They're called Soul Candy, aren't they? Utterly harmless."

-xx_xx_\-

Sasuke bit into it, swallowing, then popped out a shinigami.

He choked, then fell again, his zanpakuto shimmering.

'His spirit pressure...it simply crushes mine...'

Grimmjow grinned ferally. "I heard you call, so consider me your magic fucking genie. I'll grant your one wish-power. All you need to do is come back here in a while. You'll know when. And then I'll take you over to Hueco Mundo, to help with that little weasel you're dealing with."

Sasuke harshly gasped, inhaling and exhaling furiously until he felt the pressure ease, and he looked up to see Grimmjow had vanished.

Swallowing, he stood up. 'Unbelievable...that spirit pressure was massive...'

-X-x-X-

Naruto sighed, watching him leave. 'What's he so angry about...'

He shrugged, then leaned back, still holding onto Hinata. 'Oh well...'

He smiled. "Hey, y'know, I feel perfectly fine now. So, Hinata," he said, turning, ", How about a little date?"

-x-

Neji sharply turned from inside his hotel. 'I sense...a disturbance. Hiashi-sama is not going to like this...'

-x-x-

Hinata blushed, then smiled. "Um, sure!"

Naruto grinned. "Awesome! Now to just get out of this bed..."

There was a loud crack, and Naruto winced, his smile frozen on his face eerily. "

"Erm...actually, I'll be right out, so go on without me for now."

-x-x-X-x-x-

Naruto groaned, walking out of the hospital doors a minute later, to see Hinata shyly looking up at him. He smiled. "Come on, lets walk around!"

Hinata smiled, nodding, and the two set off.

Shyly hanging onto him, Hinata happily looked up at him, and then her smile faltered for a moment.

'Thats odd...his chakra feels wrong...'

She blinked.

Then shuddered. 'Almost like he's splitting apart from the inside...he's crazy powerful...but...' She shook her head. 'Forget it.'

Then, she heard Naruto's reassuring laugh, and turned to see him trying on a mask.

"How's it look?" he asked.

Hinata giggled. "Ridiculous! Take it off!"

Grinning, Naruto removed it, replacing it.

Hiashi grimaced, watching the two through his Byakugan. 'Or rather...attempting to.'

His hand flew up to his head. 'That Uzumaki boy's chakra is so radiant...reds, blues, greens...an unusually pallid grey...not to mention each one is so strong it just about blinds me.'

He stood up. 'That chakra reminds me of a god, instead of a human. Almost like it is incomprehensible how strong he is...'

-X-_-

Sasuke stared up into the sky. 'I would have to call my Shinigami powers...above average, but my chakra has to be at least jonin, doesn't it?'

He scowled. 'But Naruto...his chakra is unbearable!'

He viciously slammed his fist into a tree, splintering it.

"That asshole releases so much chakra people he's been around can't even tell! If I had half of his chakra, I would destroy Itachi!"

Panting, he helped himself to a drink of water.

-X_-X-X_-X-

Naruto smiled, sitting with Hinata on a park bench, both eating ice cream. Hinata turned to Naruto. "Well, tell me something about yourself."

Naruto blinked, then looked up at the sky. "I dunno...well, I get injured a lot."

Hinata smiled. "Not that! I mean, a secret!"

"You first," Naruto chuckled.

Hinata flushed red. "Well...I've sort of liked you since the day I first met you..." he said, slowly lowering in volume.

Naruto blinked, blushing, then smiled. "Wow...thats really...wow..." he trailed off, looking up.

He sighed, then looked up at the sky. "I suppose I only really have one real secret..." he murmered.

Hinata looked at him. "Which is?"

He shook his head. "Its...not important."

She blinked. "Why not?"

Naruto sighed, biting into the cone. "Don't need to bother you with something so...bothersome."

Hinata frowned. "Don't start talking like Shikamaru-san. Naruto, is something wrong?"

Sighing, Naruto looked up at the sky. "No..." he said, thinking about his last adventure, as a Shinigami. "...nothings wrong."

After a moment of silence, Naruto sighed. "Alright...can you keep a secret?"

Hinata turned to him. "Yes...why?"

Swallowing, Naruto looked up. "You see...I'm sort of a shinigami."

Hinata blinked.

"Not only that, but the nine-tailed demon fox has been sealed in me. And my dead father."

He turned. "You think I'm lying now, don't you?"

He suddenly choked for a moment, getting embraced in a hug by Hinata. "Of course not, Naruto-kun." she whispered.

"I'll always believe in you."

Surprised, Naruto then smiled. "Thank you...Hinata."

-Three Hours Later-

Naruto gently brushed his lips against Hinata's before parting ways, unnoticing of Hiashi's burning glare.

Hiashi shuddered. Hinata looked up. "Father...I know you disapprove of him, but-"

"No, its not that."

Hinata blinked.

"I had put enough chakra into that glare to paralyze Kakashi-san, albiet momentarily. That man is simply too strong."

"Do you not like that, father?"

Hiashi swallowed, continuing to walk forwards. "It just...bothers me."

Hinata blinked, as Hiashi activated his Byakugan.

'So unusual...its like the colored ones react and play with each other, but the grey one is alone...and unusually menacing.'

Naruto whistled, walking down the street, unknowing of their conversation.

-x-x-x-

"Useless! I know that bastard must look down on me!" Sasuke snarled, clenching his fist so hard it started to bleed. "Naruto, I know you are just taunting me right now!" he screamed, lost in his own world.

-x-x-x-

Relaxing, Naruto let out a sigh of relief as he laid down on a bed of grass. He sighed, then took out the scroll he had recieved from Kurenai...such a long, long time ago.

'Seems like an eternity, almost...' he thought. 'Can't believe I haven't opened it until now.'

"Yeah, must have been...18 chapters ago!" Arashi muttered.

Naruto lazily opened it, then blinked. 'A new jutsu?'

That certainly piqued his interest.

"Great Breakthrough, huh?"

He swallowed. 'Might take a while to read...'

'Just use shadow clones to." Minato said. Naruto nodded, and got to work, creating seven clones to start reading.

-x-x-xx-

After about ten minutes, all of the clones popped, and Naruto grinned. 'Nice!' he said appreciatively.

Then, he blinked, as the ground started vibrating. 'Erm... why do I feel like theres a final boss coming?'

Then, the sky seemed to shatter, and shift like a Salvador Dali painting. Naruto gasped, falling onto his knees, then automatically shifted into his Shinigami form, and slowly looked up.

Hisoka coldly stared across at him, before holding up one finger. "Caja Negacion."

Then, the sky trembled, before going black.

Naruto looked around, panicking. 'Huh! What is this!'

Then, the entire place became eeriely illuminated, and Naruto was facing Hisoka, with Hisoka's sword in his hand.

"You might want to use your Bankai."

Naruto blinked, as Hisoka slowly raised his sword. "Unless of course, you want to die immediately. I'm here to test your powers."

Growling, but still obviously effected by Hisoka's massive Reiatsu, Naruto muttered, "Bankai."

There was a gargantuan black pulse of energy, and Naruto roared, rushing at Hisoka insanely quickly, slashing with his left knuckle blade. "Akuma Issei!"

Hisoka twirled his blade idly, then the blow struck him. He was pushed about a yard back, and he grimaced. "Pitiable...I do hope that isn't your strongest attack, or else I might just accidentally kill you after all."

Then, he blinked, Naruto having appeared behind him. "Akuma Yari!"

Hisoka hissed, as the spear pierced into his side, one inch deep. "Cocky little vermin!" he yelled, slicing into Naruto with his sword.

Naruto choked, as a large laceration appeared on his chest, and he leapt back (Akuma Senkou!), also pushing Hisoka back a little. Hisoka's side almost instantly regenerated, and he glared at Naruto. "Weakling. Filth. I can't understand how Aizen sees anything in you, honestly."

Naruto panted, blood dripping from his side. 'Shit...'

-XX-

"Pardon? You want to do what?"

Ichigo's eye twitched, and he glared up at the man above him. "I already told you, Shinji."

-x-x-

"I want to work on my hollowfication."

-x-x-x-

Well, read and review. And vote for a story, as usual.
