Hey everyone, how's it going? This is actually going to be my first story and my first three-way crossover between Naruto, Bleach, Akame ga Kill! and Kill la Kill. To be honest, I wanted to do something like this for a long time. I don't actually own any of the anime shows. Naruto is owned by Masashi Kishimoto, Bleach is owned by Tite Kubo, Akame ga Kill! is owned by Takahiro and Kill la Kill is owned by Trigger.

Chapter 1: A Homecoming Reunion
The Hidden Leaf Village, the main village residing deeply in a forest somewhere in Land of Fire, one of the Five Great Nations. The Leaf Village is led by a Hokage, also known as the Fire Shadow, which there has been five so far in history. For a long time, the village has been known for its peace and stability. Of course, the village is protected by their own Leaf ninja as they perform certain missions given to them.
There are ranks for ninja as well based on their experience and intelligence. First, there are Genin, lowest ranking ninja that graduated from the Ninja Academy. Second, the Genin becomes a Chūnin, the middle ranking and mature ninja that passed the large examination, the Chūnin Exams. Finally, the Chūnin becomes a Jonin, the highest ranked ninja who are highly skilled and experienced in combat.
Ichigo Kurosaki, the fifteen-year-old teenage ninja, yawned as he was stretching his arms before he got off his bed. Ichigo ruffled his orange hair as he opened his brown eyes. He looked at his clock on the wall before heading to his dresser. He changed into his dark purple long-sleeved shirt with two pale yellow stripes on the left sleeve, navy blue jeans with a shuriken holster on his right knee and black sandals. He grabbed his long black headband and wrapped it around his forehead before tightening it. Finally, he putting his brown belt-like strap across his chest before grabbing his katana and putting it in his sheath.*
Ichigo walked towards the door but not before looking back at the other bed that was next to his own bed. That bed belonged to none other than Ichigo's adoptive younger brother, Naruto Uzumaki. Naruto was also one of Ichigo's teammates as they were members of Team Seven. They have been through so much together and grown as equals. From the traveling to the Land of Waves to looking for the new Fifth Hokage. Now, Naruto was training with Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Shinin, outside the village for two years.
"Now that I think about it, they should be coming back around this month or so..." Ichigo said before shrugging his shoulders, walking out the room and heading downstairs to grab something to eat.
"Good morning Ichigo," Ichigo's younger sister, Yuzu Kurosaki, greeted her older brother as she was washing the dishes.
"Mornin'." Ichigo said while grabbing a piece of toast out of the toaster. He looked around, looking for someone as he turned to Yuzu, "Did Karin already leave?"
"Yeah, she left not that long ago. She had to go out to do some missions early this morning." Yuzu explained as she remembered Karin telling her that she had to do missions with her team.
"Really?" Ichigo scratched the back of his head before asking about someone else while eating his toast, "What about dad?"
"He had to go out on an early mission too." Yuzu said as she began recalling what her dad told her and Karin about him going out on a mission this morning, "He won't be back for at least a week."
"That's good to hear." Ichigo sighed in relief as he was going to have the next seven days of peaceful mornings without his dad randomly attacking him when he sleeping or when entering the living room, "Well, I'd better go. Later Yuzu."
"Goodbye Ichigo!" Yuzu waved goodbye as she saw her older brother walk out the front door. She smiled before she began going back to the dishes as she began wondering when will her older brother, Naruto would be coming back soon.
Ichigo began walking along the streets of the Hidden Leaf Village. He didn't know what to do now since his teacher decided to take a break from his training. He could walk around the village for a bit and get some breakfast somewhere or maybe he could probably hang out with his buddies that weren't do any-
"Hey, Ichigo! Is that you?!"
"Huh?" Ichigo turned around to someone calling his name and was surprised to see who it is. It was his teammate and friend, Sakura Haruno, running up to him. Sakura has pink hair and green eyes. She was wearing a red top, a pink skirt with black shorts underneath, pink elbow protectors and high boots. She wore her red headband like a hairband. Ichigo smiled as the two as he walked towards her, "Hey Sakura. It's been awhile hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it sure has." Sakura smiled as she looked at Ichigo for a moment before noticing something, "Hey, you've grown taller than me, haven't you?"
"Well, I guess I must have..." Ichigo put a hand above his head before putting his head back inside his pocket. He has grown taller at a fast pace over the two years and a half years.
"He's actually matured over the past few years." Sakura smiled before remembering something she had to do as an idea popped inside her head, "Hey Ichigo, you wanna come with me to the main gate? I need to pick up something for Lady Tsunade."
"Sure, why not? I've got nothing else better to do." Ichigo shrugged as he and Sakura began making their way towards the main gate, "So Sakura, you've been training under Tsunade right?" Ichigo said, remembering that Sakura started her training under the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade, who was also one of the Legendary Shinin, "How's that been working out?"
"Lady Tsunade has been making me study like crazy and putting me through some very harsh training sessions together." Sakura sighed as she remembered the first time she and Tsunade were training, the Fifth Hokage didn't go easy on her. Sakura knew she wasn't good enough as her three teammates so that's why she needed the training. It seems to be fruitful but she needs to be on the battlefield to know for herself, "What about your training under Master Ginjō?"
Ichigo took his eyes off of Sakura for a moment as he thought back to when the calm and cool-headed Shinin trained him. To be honest, he was cautious around him when he first met the guy back during Chūnin Exams. He was assigned to be trained under him and Ginjō treated Ichigo to some ramen. But when they started training, Ginjō showed him a power that Ichigo never knew he had. That was spirit energy, the energy that allowed Ichigo to see and talk to ghosts, "His training methods has been really hard for the most part but it proved to be not bad."
"It guess we've both been working hard for these past two and a half years." Sakura put her hands behind her back. It was nice to know that Ichigo was been putting in the same amount of effort as she has.
"Seems-" Ichigo paused for a moment as he stopped walking. His expression quickly changed from normal to surprised, "No way..."
"What's wrong, Ichigo?" Sakura asked her orange haired friend before looking in the same direction as Ichigo with the same reaction a second later, "It can't be..."
(A few minutes earlier...)
Naruto Uzumaki walked along the path as he was making his way to the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto has spiky yellow-blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing his zipped orange and black jacket, orange pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee and black sandals. He also had a long black headband wore in the same way as his older brother. Finally, having a red sash around his shoulders that held his own katana.
Behind the jinchūriki ninja was none other than his teacher, Jiraiya, one of the Legendary Shinin. Jiraiya has long spiky white hair that was tied into a ponytail. He wore a red haori with two yellow circles on each side, a green short shirt kimono, green pants, green guards, a black belt and red wooden sandals. He was also carrying a large scroll on his back.
The two and a half years has passed since they left for training. They promised the Fifth Hokage that they would make it back so Jiraiya would drop off Naruto since the village needed him. Naruto couldn't wait to see his family and friends again. It's been a long time since he has been outside the village after all.
The two made their way to the Hidden Leaf Gate as they passed the two Chūnin, Kotetsu and Izumo, who were both surprised to see Naruto coming back to the Leaf Village as Kotetsu stood up from his desk, "Hey, isn't that..."
"There's no doubt about it. He's back." Izumo smiled as the two watched Naruto and Jiraiya make their way into the village. Naruto ran forward as he looked around to the Hidden Leaf Village.
"Man, I'm starting to feel really nostalgic!" Naruto felt the breeze of the Leaf Village before looking at the Hokage Rock, noticing something was different as he chuckled, "Hey, they put Granny Tsunade's face up there! Man, there are so many things I wanna do!"
"Calm down, Naruto. You need to stop acting like a little kid." The Toad Sage, Jiraiya shook his head before crossing his arms, "Try and act like a bit your age for once."
"Come on, Pervy Sage! I mean it's been years since I've left the village!" Naruto grinned, scratching the back of his head. He turned towards Jiraiya as multiple things began popping into his head, "So what should we do first? I think we should go say hi to my family! I bet Karin and Yuzu are worried about me!"
"I guess you're right." Jiraiya pondered for a moment before coming to a decision, "Alright, we'll visit your family first then we'll head straight towards the Hokage Mansion, got it?"
"Got it! Let's go!" Naruto ran towards to the direction to his house but stopped as he heard two familiar voices.
"No way..."
"It can't be..."
"Huh?" Naruto said before he turned to the direction of the two voices as his smile grew wider once he saw the two people he recognized and ran towards them, "Hey Ichigo! Sakura!"
"Did you come back just now?" Ichigo asked his adoptive younger brother. He was more than happy to see his best friend come back to the Leaf Village and surprisingly tall as him now.
"Yeah!" Naruto nodded before grinning happily as he swung his fist in the air, "You can say that the future Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki has officially returned to the Hidden Leaf Village!"
"So I'm guessing that you been doing well without me, Ichigo?" Naruto asked his older orange haired brother. He and Ichigo has always been close since they were babies. They protected and fended for each other since that's what brothers are for.
"Yeah but to be honest, things hasn't been the same without you." Ichigo close his eyes for a moment before opening them back up while smiling. He began thinking how things were boring with Naruto not around but now at least it's all back to normal.
"What about Karin and Yuzu? I'm sure they must have missed me." Naruto thought back to when he left with Yuzu begging Naruto not to leave with tears in her eyes while promising Karin to come back even stronger so he could protect them.
"Yeah, they sure do." Ichigo said as he remembered Yuzu's depression after Naruto left but it was only a month since she got over it. Karin didn't mind Naruto leaving but felt things has gotten boring since he was gone.
"Alright, that's enough chit chat. Come on, let's head for the mansion or else we'll get an earful from Tsunade later." Jiraiya told his pupil as he began walking to the Hokage Mansion straight ahead.
"Fine, Pervy Sage..." Naruto complied before following him with Ichigo and Sakura behind him.
"It's been a long time you two." Tsunade, the current Hokage and the female member of the Legendary Shinin, said as she looked at the teenage jinchūriki of Nine-Tailed Fox and her old friend from her desk, "I hope your training proved to be fruitful, Naruto."
Tsunade has straight blonde hair and brown eyes. She was wearing a green haori with the kanji "gamble" on the back, grey, kimono-style blouse, a dark blue obi, dark blue pants and strappy black sandals with high heels. She had red nail polish on both her fingernails and toenails and was wears soft pink lipstick.
Beside Tsunade and her desk was her assistant, Shizune. She has black hair as well as black eyes. She was wearing a bluish-black kimono with white trimmings held by a lavender obi and sandals.
"Don't you worry, grandma! I've gotten pretty strong since the last time you saw me!" Naruto smirked as he definitely has gotten something out of his training over the past few years, "So I guess you can say mission accomplished!"
"Well I guess we'll have to see if its true or not." Tsunade said as Naruto was confused what she meant by that.
"What do you mean by that, grandma?" Naruto asked as Ichigo and Sakura wanted to know as much as their teammate does.
"She means I'll be putting you four to a little test."
"Huh?" Naruto and Ichigo said at the same time before a swirl of leaves appeared the room before someone came out of it.
"What the...Kakashi?!" Ichigo yelled as he and Naruto stepped back in shock at the sight of their sensei.
"Yo." Kakashi Hatake, the leader of Team Seven and the Copy Ninja, lazily raised his right hand up for a second before putting it back down and inside his pocket while his left hand was holding a Make-Out Tactics book. Kakashi has spiky silver hair oriented to the left side and a left black eyes while his headband covered his other eye. He was also wearing a mask that covered his face. He wore a green flak jacket, a dark blue long-sleeved shirt with red swirls on both arms, dark blue pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, fingerless gloves with metal plates on the backhand and dark blue sandals.
"Wow Kakashi-sensei, you haven't changed a bit!" Naruto grinned as he put his hands on the back of his head.
"You too, well, at least your personality hasn't." Kakashi eye smiled as he looked over to the now fifteen-year-old Naruto.
"Yo, Kakashi. What do you mean by "test"?" Ichigo asked his Jonin teacher, wondering what Kakashi was going to do with them.
"Yeah and what about "the four of us"...?" Naruto asked as he was also confused since there was him, Ichigo and Sakura, "Who else are you talking about?"
"Hmph, did you already forget about me? Looks like you're still an idiot, Naruto..."
"That voice...it can't be..." Naruto turned around as well as Ichigo and Sakura turned around to see another teammate as he was leaning against a wall with his arms crossed, "Sasuke?!"
"If one thing hasn't changed, you're always be a loser." Sasuke Uchiha scoffed before walking up to the rest of the group. Sasuke has spiky black hair with a blue tint along with black eyes. He was wearing a dark blue high collared shirt with a Uchiha crest on the back, black pants with a shuriken holster on his right knee, dark grey arm guards and black sandals. He was wearing his dark blue headband and was carrying a katana on his back.** Sasuke turned to Ichigo while making his way to the group, "Hey Ichigo."
"Hey Sasuke." Ichigo greeted his second best friend before turning back to his sensei, "So I'm guessing all four of us has to pass this so called "test"?"
"That's right." Kakashi nodded as turning his back heading out, "Meet me at the same training ground in thirty minutes."
"Oh wait, Kakashi-sensei! I forgot to give this to you!" Naruto reached into his pouch as he was giving Kakashi a gift.
"No way!" Kakashi stepped back in complete shock as he saw Naruto a brand new issue of his favorite book, Make-Out Tactics.
"Yup, I got this just for you. I was never really into this kinda stuff so I though that you might like it since you're into this book." Naruto smiled as Jiraiya crossed his arms in annoyance, mumbling how Naruto wouldn't understand.
"Well later guys, I'm going to read my book." Kakashi said before poofing away, giggling in the process while Naruto, Ichigo, Sasuke and Sakura sweat-dropped at what they've just witnessed.
Naruto, Ichigo, Sasuke and Sakura sat at restaurant table outside near the edge of the platform as Sakura started the conversation, "What do you think Kakashi-sensei is testing us on?"
"Knowing him, he's probably testing us on how effective our training was." Ichigo said as he took a sip of his drink before turning and asking the Uchiha, "What do you think, Sasuke?"
"Remember the bell training we did back when we started as genin?" Sasuke reminded the three as they thought back on how bad they did back two and a half years, "He's making us doing the same test again only harder."
"How do you know, Sasuke?" Naruto gave a confused look as Sasuke raised an eyebrow at the knucklehead ninja. He shook his head as he knew Naruto was stupid but even Naruto should've spotted it.
"Come on, didn't you hear those bells in Kakashi's pocket or at least saw them?" Sasuke recalled hearing Kakashi's bells making a little jingle inside his pocket. He doesn't know how many bells Kakashi has but one thing was for sure that are going to be some differences he was going to make.
"Oh! I remember seeing a little silver inside those pockets! I guess that must've been bells!" Naruto laughed as he put his hands behind his head before leaning back. He leaned back to much that he fell onto the fence of the platform before comically falling all the way down onto the ground, with his head stuck in the dirt.
"Idiot..." Ichigo, Sasuke and Sakura frowned at Naruto's stupidity before going back to eating their food.
"One thing does bother me though..." Sakura looked down at the table as her teammates turned to her before she said, "I wonder how's Ryūko doing..."
"I'm sure Ryūko is doing fine." Ichigo said as he also pondered of how his fifth teammate, Ryūko Matoi is doing. He hasn't seen her for a few days and was worried about her. She is a tomboy but much like him and Naruto, also impatient and stubborn. She went to go visit her dad three days ago and he began wondering how she's been patching up things with her father, "But still..."
"Don't worry about it, Ichigo." Sasuke said as took a bite out his rice ball, "Ryūko is a tough cookie but if there's one thing that I'm worried about...is her hot-headed temper..."
"Dad? Hey Dad, where are you?" A fifteen-year-old teenage girl walked around the mansion, calling out for her father. It has been awhile since she had been here since she was a kid. The girl had mid-length black hair with a single red bang swept to the left. She had blue eyes with gear-shaped pupils. She was wearing a red scarf around her neck, an unzipped black and white jacket with a red Leaf headband on her left arm, a white shirt, blue jeans with a shuriken holster on her right knee and black sandals.***
The girl suddenly heard noises coming from her old man's research room. She quickly made her way there, trying to remember where that room actually was. But she found the room but her face immediately changed into shocked expression, "Dad...?"
Isshin Matoi, her father was laying on the wall with something what seemed like a red blade stuck inside his chest as he was pouring out blood. The girl didn't waste any more time as she ran over to her dad, "Dad? Dad! Hang on!"
"Stop fussing and just listen to me, Ryūko." Isshin told his daughter, Ryūko Matoi, before he began talking, "If you want to live a peaceful life then leave here right now..." Isshin used his left hand to pull out the blade from his body and tossed it over to her, "...but if you want to finish what I started you're going to need that."
"What do you mean fight?! What happened?!" The teenager began bombarding her father with questions. She was getting more and more confused as she had absolutely no clue what was even going on.
"If you find the other half of the Scissor Blade, you'll find my killer. However, a very cruel fate will come upon you." Isshin explained as the girl presumed that someone must've stabbed him with the other scissor.
Before the girl can say anything else, she heard a rumble behind her as she turned around to see the killer walking away while seeing a purple scissor blade which was probably the other half of the red blade she was holding, "Hold it!"
She felt a hand grab onto her wrist as she looked down to her as her dad halted her from going any further, "Don't go running after her, Ryūko! She's too powerful for you to handle!"
"But-"
Suddenly she felt something stabbed through her chest as she looked down to see her father stabbing her with a katana radiating bright red energy. She knew she and her dad never got along but a thought never crossed her mind that her dad would even kill her. Or maybe she thought as a red pillar of light shot into the air.
As the light began to dissipate, Ryūko was wearing a black kimono with a red undergarment underneath tied by a red obi, a red strap across her chest with the a sheath and sandals. She looked in surprise as she looked like a samurai or something. But the most surprising and shocking thing was she saw her own body lying on the floor next to her, "What...the...hell...?"
"Heh...looks like it worked after all..." Isshin smirked as he coughed up blood before he began explaining things to his daughter, "Listen, I know this must be difficult for you to understand now but you've just become a Soul Reaper..."
"A...Soul...Reaper?" The girl thought back to the name as it was also known as Shinigami meaning death god. The only thing that she could remember was that death gods are the guardians of souls. She would believe in souls since she could also see ghosts as well.
"Yes, now listen I don't have much time left so I'll explain things quickly." Isshin said as Ryūko began listening to what her father said, "You need to go to Hidden Honnō City it's in the center of the Five Great Nations. Go there and you'll find the answers to your questions. And one more thing, take this..." Isshin handed Ryūko what seemed like a red badge with a skull on it, "Put some of your chakra inside it and then you'll become a Soul Reaper..."
"...Dad?" Ryūko said as she saw her father's last moments of life before he closed his eyes as he was now dead. Ryūko began leaking out tears as she began crying softly while falling to the ground. Even though she never got to know her father as well, he was trying to protect her. Ryūko wiped her tears away as she got back up with a determined look on her face, "Don't worry dad, I'll head for Honnō City and find the bitch who killed you...then I'll make her pay in her own damn blood!"
*Ichigo wore these clothes when he was doing his Fullbring training and when Ginjo stole his Fullbring powers. But in this story, he's wearing these clothes but with sandals and ninja gear.
**Sasuke wore these clothes when he left the village and when he fought Naruto after gaining more power from Orochimaru in Naruto Shippūden Episodes 444-446.
***Ryūko wore these clothes during the ending of Episode 24 of Kill la Kill. The only difference is that she wearing a Leaf headband on her left arm, a shuriken holster on her right knee and black sandals because nearly every ninja I know wears sandals.
So that's it for Chapter 1! I hope you guys liked it and tell me what kinds of powers and pairings will be in this fanfic! Naruto Uzumaki has returned to the Hidden Leaf Village and Kakashi is testing him along with Ichigo, Sasuke and Sakura! Ryūko has gained powers of a Soul Reaper! Will Team Seven complete the test? Will Ryūko find the answers she's looking for? Find out in Chapter 2 of Shinigami la Shippūden!

"Alright Kakashi-sensei! We're ready for you so bring it on!" Naruto pointed a fist at Kakashi as he was ready to show the fruits off his training.
"Your mission is to head to Hidden Honnō City tomorrow so pack up and rest for tonight because this is a very important S-Rank Mission." Tsuande informed the Team Seven as they had mixed reactions about what Tsunade told them.
"You really want to know? Then I'll go ahead and say that I'm a Soul Reaper..." The short and petite black-haired girl turned to the two confused brothers.
"Maybe I can use this in case I lose my sword. Maybe with this I'll never lose at the rank of a captain of Hidden Honnō City!" The brown-haired teenage boy said as he picked up the sword lying on the ground before everything glowed around him and he began panicking, "What going on?!"
