Chapter 6: Betrayal

Fifteen Years Later:

Since then, things had been interesting for young Naruto, he had already learned and Mastered Tsukuyomi's Shikai and Bankai with Kyuubi's help of course, but it had been seven years since he learned the name of his other zanpakuto.

Events had not changed much, though the reputation of the Nibantai had increased over the fifteen years, Naruto being the Fuku-taicho brought, shock and surprise, but mostly shock due to him acquiring a Fukutaicho position just after Academy, some even said that he was a prodigy that rivaled Gin Ichimaru.

Naruto had since then brought up the number of missions, as well as lowering the casualty rates in the Nibantai.

Naruto since then, kept most of his strength hidden, despite the fact he was as strong as a Taicho, Kyuubi had him already master all Kido and Bakudo, amazing yes, but he had also finally mastered his Dangerous Zanjutsu Style that the Kyuubi taught him.

Naruto also had increased his technique list, he learned from Yoruichi Utsusemi as well as many shunpo techniques, he was actually good friends with Yoruichi, others not knowing that of course, outside the divisons.

She tended to be a major tease to him, though once you get past that she can be really sweet. She also tended to drag him away from paperwork so he could spend time with herself and Kisuke, who loved to laze about and is very… eccentric.

Naruto's relationship with his parent's increased over time as he sparred more with his Otou-san, they had yet to fight Bankai level however, Unohana had taken to teaching him important medical kido as well.

And, six times in fifteen years, he finally beat Shunshui in shogi, the man himself cried anime tears of joy each time, Juushiro had an amused look for a while before it died down.

But, one thing kept on irritating the Kuchiki, Naruto was keen when it came to the subject of Aizen, the man made no movements and he disliked the fact that he had been to academy once, calligraphy mostly, but he could tell Aizen was up to no good.

He also seemed to be watching him closely.

Naruto sighed to himself, his zanpakuto's abilities were frightening to say the least.

Tsukuyomi also had had several abilities though he would not reveal them now, he also learned that due to Tsukuyomi, it made him immune to any illusion, no matter how powerful it was.

Oh, but he feared even his own Bankai.

For the enemy that is…

He shuddered mentally, it was powerful and he had no desire to use it unless the situation demanded it.

His other zanpakuto, the man in a black cloak was temperamental some times, but he was easy to get along with, he was based on the God of Storms, who had control over lightning and water.

Sussano (God of Storms).

the Zanpakuto itself rivaled even Ryuujin Jakka, and that was another reason to keep his Zanpakuto a secret, but still he was training hard in unlocking it's Bankai, so now here stands Naruto, Kuchiki Clan Heir and son of Clan Head with two God like Zanpakuto, Mixed with the fact his mother was a Taicho and a respected one equals…

A stressed life

Yoruichi seemed to be the only one who could get him to ACTUALLY relax.

Naruto really hated stress, but it was hard to get privacy to do so. Deciding to wave off those thoughts he took a walk through the woods near the Nibantai, he found nature relatively relaxing for those times when he just needed to get his mind off something.

The hairs of the back of his neck tensed slightly as if static charge filled the air, he heard a yell and an explosion from a deeper in the woods.

The voice was definitely feminine, casually approaching the area fifteen minutes later; he came upon a sight not many see.

Yoruichi was training but with some unique white reiatsu building around her, almost as if it was for combat.

Naruto eyed it with curiosity, but as she released another energy blast that tore down a number of trees and decimated a boulder, she fell to one knee panting.

Once Naruto revealed himself however, Yoruichi practically ordered him to spar with her.

The spar was very fast paced as it was the Flash Goddess, for more than just shunpo, Naruto had mused many times when she had, intentional or not, flashed him, against the upcoming Flash God.

Yoruichi obviously defeated him though as she had leagues of experience over him.

Naruto had however put up a very good fight and as such Yoruichi was feeling a bit tired.

Naruto was sitting down against tree with his head arced down as he fell asleep… despite being a powerful clan Heir he CAN be Lazy when not on duty from time to time.

She looked at his peaceful face before a thought crossed her mind. She walked up him and sat between his legs and leaned into him and fell asleep while thinking, 'I'll be up and gone before he can question me.'

However she had underestimated how tired she was, paperwork and a very good spar can do that to you. She had fallen asleep and unconsciously snuggled into Naruto and had had wrapped his arm around her abdomen in a slightly protective manor while he slept.

Several Hours Later

Byakuya and Unohana searched for their son as they had not seen him since that morning and opted to find him at the Nibantai HQ, sensing his reiatsu, it was odd to the two that it was calm and more relaxed, but it was usually prepared and cool for the situation.

Coming onto the clearing, they met a very interesting sight.

Naruto woke up about an hour ago and hadn't moved not really known what to do either since while he was inwardly happy that his Taicho was the relaxed around him, he was also caught off guard by this behavior. She wouldn't let him go and she looked so beautiful and peaceful while she slept. He felt it would be a sin to disturb her at the moment.

Though in his mindscape…

Kyuubi was laughing his ass off in his head, Sussano did the same while Tsukuyomi just smiled.

"OH KAMI GAKI! YOU LUCKY SONOVABITCH!" he yelled, Kyuubi grinned widely "You finally found someone for yourself!"

Sussano laughed heartily "Not to mention she's hot! Dude you are one lucky bastard-"

*SMASH!* *BANG!*

Two sounds of womanly punches hit the two in the back of the head, sending the demon lord and zanpakuto spirit to the ground with a single lump on their heads and steam rose from the spot.

"Watch it perverts!" she yelled "It's a cute scene that shouldn't be disturbed" Tsukuyomi turned her attention to Naruto in his mind "I'll watch over the baka's here" she glared at them out of the corner of her eyes "You enjoy yourself now" she said, a bit too sweetly for comfort.

Naruto held back a sigh, he was grateful for Tsukuyomi or Sussano and Kyuubi would be driving him insane by now, he sighed look at her sleeping face, a smile crossed his face seeing how serene she was.

His parents walked into the area and he smiled softly at them.

Yoruichi sensing the new arrivals, woke up and looked around and noticed Naruto just lounging about while she was snuggled up to him and clinging to him while his parents were in the clearing.

"What's going on?" she asked.

Naruto glanced at her, "I had fallen asleep against the tree and you apparently thought to sleep against me. You looked so peaceful and so I didn't wake you up.

Yoruichi nodded slightly with a small "thank you." And left the clearing in a Shunpo. She then returned a second later give him a quick peck on the cheek and disappeared again. Naruto was frozen in shock for a bit.

"Quite dedicated aren't you Sochi?" Unohana stated.

"I have no idea what you are talking about." Naruto replied.

"You know, she would make a good match for you." Unohana teased.

Naruto's face gained a feint blush before quickly leaving in a Shunpo.

Unohana gave a lighthearted laugh while Byakuya's eyes shined in amusement.

Ten Thirty-Six PM, Nibantai HQ Outskirts

Naruto sat atop a large tree, looking at the moon, silence was one of the things he loved in the Seretei.

"Hey kit, whatcha doin?"

Naruto heard Kyuubi in his head `Hey Sensei, need anything?' he asked, his tone was one of distracted thoughts.

Kyuubi sighed "Still thinking about Yoruichi?" he asked.

No response

"Silence is all I need, kit" Kyuubi stated simply, he dealt with things like this when it came to the feelings of others.

`Fine, I admit you know me more then I know myself, happy?' he snapped mentally, Kyuubi found this surprising, Naruto never snapped, not since he left Konoha.

"I never said that" Kyuubi pointed out "In my professional opinion, just wait patiently for Yoruichi to open up more to you. If what she did today is any indication, she might have begun to develop feelings towards you over these past fifteen years."

"What do you suggest I do, confront her about it?" Naruto asked.

The Kyuubi gave a mental shrug, "It couldn't hurt to confront her about it and see how she feels. I know that you are attracted to her, from her personality, to her looks. Admit it you love just about everything about her. You two share so much personal information with each other it isn't even funny. Just talk to her and take it slow."

"…Thank you…"

Is response was a "No problem" followed by a yawn.

Naruto noticed somebody sitting on a roof a couple blocks down and with his enhanced Vision due to the Sharingan, he could see that it is Yoruichi and she looked conflicted.

He Shunpoed over to her before sitting down next to her, "Something bothering you, Taicho?" he asked her.

She sighed slightly, "I don't know what came over me to do that." She stated.

Naruto nodded slightly, knowing what she was talking about, "I was indeed surprised, but it was a welcomed surprise."

Her eyes widened slightly, "You mean, you were okay with that?"

"As weird as it may seem coming from me… I had been hoping for some form of affection from you…"

"Really?" she asked.

Naruto nodded as they stared into each others eyes, their faces inched closer before Yoruichi suddenly pulled back.

"take it slow?" she suggested.

"Take it slow." Naruto agreed.

Yoruichi then brought up a topic that had been one of the reasons she was deep in thought.

"Naruto-Kun, I feel I should let you know that you will be working with a new Division soon… an offer came up… one that is very beneficial… you will be working with the Black Ops Division. You are still officially a member of my Division but you will be working alongside the Black Ops." she said before she Shunpoed off.

It was that day that Naruto would be a Walking Shadow. He now lived in the darkness as one of the few Black Ops Agents in all of Soul Society. Only those who have the potential of or the power of a Taicho are let into the Division.

This is where Naruto spent many of the next 100 years. And where he rose to the rank of Commander of the Black ops division. In this time he became cold to everyone… well almost everyone. His parents, godfathers along with Kisuke and of course, Yoruichi were spared from his now cold attitude towards almost everything.

Naruto ran towards a site with many other shinigami where more souls have gone missing and what he found when he got there was definitely NOT good. Some of the Taicho and Fuku-Taicho were undergoing some type of Hollowfication.

They fought long and hard but eventually Naruto and the others were able to subdue them and bring them in.

When the verdict was given, Naruto did his best to focus on happier times.

Flashback

The sounds of metal and kido blasts resounded throughout the Kuchiki Clan compound's training area. Naruto and his Otou-san. Three months passed without incident, though Naruto's relationship with Yoruichi had increased over the months.

Naruto was using Tsukuyomi in the fight, mainly the Hiten Mitsurugi style, Byakuya was by far impressed by the swordsmanship his son used, it was versatile and quick for strikes at weak points, not to mention it also helped when it came down to counter attacks.

Blade against blade clashed, Naruto shunpoed back he let out a relieved sigh before taking up a towel to wipe off the sweat on his face.

"You performed admirably well" Byakuya commented, his face being as blank as a wall.

Naruto nodded shortly, Byakuya asked "What was that sword style you sued?" he asked, a hint of curiosity seeping into the tone.

Naruto responded "Hiten Mitsurugi, it was designed as a god –like speed sword style" he explained calmly.

Byakuya's eyes widened slightly, he looked back on the training grounds to find foot imprints about as deep as an inch deep and sword slashes about two inches deep. All in all, Naruto had intentionally missed.

The main question was, how powerful was Naruto?

He looked back at Naruto moments later and nodded, Naruto returned it as he began to walk away "Where are you going?"

"I have a meeting with Yoruichi Taicho."

And what a meeting it was. (coughDATEcough)
