I had been watching Bleach again and Naruto again and thought id have a crack at yet another Naruto and Bleach story. It had been a long time since I had done a crossover like this so I thought I'd give it another go.

Summary: It had been 600 years since Naruto had made it into the Soul Society and made it as a Captain of the Second Division. Now however, cut down by Aizen, He is given a chance to redo it all. Starting from his original life in Konoha. He and some friends will right the course of the future all the while having his Little Bee with him.

Pairings: Naruto x Soifon (maybe Tia, ill have a poll up for her later)

Side Notes: Do send in suggestions AND Reviews. I take both in equal measure as they keep me motivated. Also there's gonna be a lot of flashbacks. Just cause, also I would LOVE it if someone could beta for me. This was an old story I decided to do a remake of. Let me know what yall think.

Reviews and Critiques: I do take reviews and critiques, as well as suggestions, no hate, I will Ignore it *insert I don't care song*

((That's all! Story START!))

Naruto Uzumaki was a smart man, at least, he liked to think so. He wanted to believe that he would always be there for his friends when they needed him the most and would take a sword for them if he could save them. And it felt like now was one of those times as he looks down. And deep within his gut, was a sword.

He coughed hard as he let out a bit of blood from his mouth as he looks up, the former captain of the Soul Society holding the blade as he pulls it free. "Weak" was all Sosuke Aizen says. He looks back at his Lieutenant, Soifon, who he had saved from his blade as he gives her his infamous smile. It was seconds after when Aizen yanks the sword free from Naruto's gut, before stabbing him in the lungs, just to be sure before he kicks him off his blade and watches as the man drops to the earth below. 'One down…' Was the only thought that lingered in Aizens mind as he looks around for his next target.

"Naruto-Sama!" She yells out, almost shocked that he took the blade for her. Tears streaking down her face as she watches as the man she absolutely worshipped fall to the earth below. Naruto watched as she flew down after him, no doubt trying to save him. By this point he had been in the soul society for about 300 years. He had aged a bit from the time he died, around 16, to now, he was, by this point, looking like a mini-Minato. He had died prematurely he felt like, the Akatsuki managing to get a hold of him and extracting Kurama. Yet somehow became his Zanpaktou. Fate had a funny way of doing things, like when he had rose the ranks fast, becoming, much like Toshiro, captain relatively quickly.

Becoming captain of the second division was one of those things he enjoyed, feeling like, even if it was not Hokage, something that his father and mother was proud of.

He smiled as he remembered the first time, he met Soifon.

Flashback

Naruto Uzumaki was currently training in the Second division area as he delivered a rather hard kick to a tree, causing it to splinter as he let out a small breath. He had been training his body for the past few weeks now, feeling confident in his Zanpaktou. He never liked to mix up his trainings. If he wanted to train something, he would dedicate weeks, if not months to it to make sure he had a good proficiency in it before moving onto the next set of skills.

Satisfied with the power of his kick, at least for the day, he grabs a towel and wipes his face of sweat before feeling someone was watching him. Setting his towel down on one of the training dummies, he grabbed his captains Haori and slips it back onto his body.

"You know I know your there. Why don't you come out" he says to whoever is hiding as he watches as a ten-ish year old looking girl steps out and he smiles as he looks at her. "And who might you be?" He asks the girl.

"I am Soifon of the Fon Family!" she says proudly as she looked like she had stars in her eyes. He was captain of the second division, so no doubt she's heard of him as he laughs as he walks over to her and rubs her hair, causing her to pout.

"Nice to meet you Soifon, I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Captain of the Second Division" he says to her. He had a feeling that she would be a good apprentice to him. Something calling out to him about her and he usually always followed his gut. "What are you doing here?"

"I wanted to watch you train Naruto-Sama! Your so cool!" she says with a smile as he let out another hearty laugh at what she says as he kneels down to match her eyelevel and looks at her.

"Well… instead of watching me train… how about I show you how to be cool like me?" He says to her as he watches her as her eyes light up more as she nods. He could tell she would be a fast learner. And a lifelong friend. "Alright… let's begin Soifon… I won't take it easy on you" he tells her.

"Hai!" she says as they make it over to the training dummies.

Flashback End

He smiled almost sadly. That was almost 200 years ago, and she was a quick learner like he had thought. Of course, she was also trained by her clan, and originally, she was going to be under Yoruichi, but he convinced them to have her become his student. They almost became inseparable by the time she reached to be his lieutenant. She was his confidant, and she was his guardian. His protector.

Something she took great pride in and he appreciated her, often letting her know that. And he busted her ass in training to make sure she could keep up with him. No matter how much it hurt her.

Flashback

SMASH.

Two legs clashed against one another creating a shockwave before the two fighters stepped back, both panting as it was the Captain and his Lieutenant. Naruto and Soifon as sweat beaded their bodies. By now she was a full adult, her Zanpaktou fully realized and ready to defend her captain and crush, though she would never admit that. At least. Not out loud and would kill anyone if they even insinuated it.

Though she did receive her fair share of teasing from Yoruichi who saw the lovestruck eyes of the woman. To which Soifon denied it and often calls it indecent, that she would not have feelings for her captain and even if she did that they would never be returned.

"Your getting stronger" Naruto says as he panted. He had taught her almost everything he knew, besides a few things he kept for himself.

"Thank you Naruto-sama" she says giving a smile to her captain as she too was panting, working out with him was always a workout that she had learned rather quickly when he initially took her on as his protégé as he made sure anything, he did with her would make her stronger. He never did anything without reason.

"You do realize were not stopping now right?" He asks with a grin before he stepped off and darted towards her as he threw yet another kick as she did the same towards him, their shins clashing once more.

SMASH.

SMASH.

SMASH.

To the untrained eye, all they would see was air explosions as the two masters of speed and stealth clashed against one another. But just because they focused on their speed and stealth did not mean they weren't helpless as anyone would be able to feel the power of their kicks as they smashed into one another.

It would not be too much longer before they finally called it quits in their hand to hand fighting as they both leaned against the wall. As he gave her his signature grin, putting his hands behind his head as he looks at her.

'You took my training like a fish to water. Just like me with Pervy sage, she's become one of my most precious people' he thought to himself. 'There's just one thing I haven't taught her.' He smiles as she was recovering from their spar as she caught him staring as she raised an eyebrow at him.

"You ok Naruto-Sama?" she asks curiously as he stares at her for a long moment before he chuckles.

"Yes… I think your ready" he says to her as he motions for her to follow him back out into the clearing of the field. "I think its time I taught you something of a legacy I've inherited" he says to her as her eyes go wide.

"Naruto-sama I don't think I'm worthy to-"she began before he raised his hand as they stopped. In the middle of their clearing.

"Its alright. I think your ready" he says walking over and putting his hand on her shoulder and gives her the usual goofy grin that he was known for. Reassuring her that she was indeed ready for what he was going to teach her. "My father created this technique. My Godfather taught it to me. And now I think your ready…

…I'm going to teach you the Rasengan" he says to her.

Flashback End

Of course, he had adapted the Chakra based Jutsu into a Reitsu based one, basically having to learn the same technique twice… but he did not care. It was one of the few things that he had gotten from his father and was going to pass it onto his proteges and his children. A sort of passing of the baton.

His body finally hit the ground of the fake Karakura town as the hole in his stomach bled profusely, his own Zanpaktou landing next to him with a clang as he watched his student rushing down to him, watching as the others battled far above him as he smiles.

He didn't regret for a moment the decisions hes made in his life. Protecting Soifon. Protecting Ichigo and his friends. He always followed his heart where it led him. He took after his mother in that regard. And he was happy with that. He did what he felt was the right thing. Consequences be damned.

And if that meant clashing against Yamamoto then so be it. He did just that.

"Naruto-sama please…" Soifon cried as she kneeled next to him, tears streaming down her face. "Don't leave me" she says as she continued to cry as he smiles up at her and reaches up, palming her cheek as he used the thumb to rub away her tears.

"I always knew you had a heart Soifon" he says halfheartedly since she was always stoic and took her job extremely seriously, to the point that it intimidated her underlings. It even led to a few clashes between the two at times.

Flashback

"Naruto-sama!" Soifon calls out, absolutely irate with her captain as he sits. She often conflicted with his need to do the right thing over the lawful thing at times, but she never resented him for it. Knowing it was a quirk of her captain which she adored. This is one of those times as Rukia was set to be executed and he absolutely disagreed. He yelled at the head captain about the decision.

"I know your mad with me Soifon-chan" he tells her as he looks at her, in his lap was a cup of tea, he looks up from his tea, at her directly. He respected her too much to not look her in the eyes.

"Why?!" Was all she asked regarding the intruders as she wanted to throttle her captain and crush as he smiles at her.

"Soifon… you should know me by now. I've never been one to follow the rules if I think im doing the wrong thing" He says to her as she was less irate now before taking a few breaths to calm down somewhat as she kneels at the table as well.

"But their intruders Naruto-Sama. We could have apprehended them by now and be done with them." She says as she watches as Naruto sets down his tea on the table.

"Soifon… one of the many creeds I live by is-" he began before she interrupted him, knowing exactly he was going to say as it was one of the things he constantly taught his squad.

''Those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum." She says as he nods. She knew him too well.

"Then you know that I sympathize with them. If the roles were reversed, if it was you to be executed, I would move heaven and hell to bring you back." He says to her as she was taken aback by these words, a light flush across her cheeks before coughing into her hand to fight down the blush.

"I… alright Naruto-sama" she says giving in this time since she knew her teacher by now. This was one of those things that he was not going to relent on as she gave a small smile. She may not agree with his viewpoints, but he stuck by them.

And she respected that.

Flashback End

"Naruto-sama please don't joke at a time like this" she says as she continued to cry as he kept rubbing her tears away, some landing on his cheek as he coughs out more blood.

"I'm sorry Soifon" he says to her, he knew what it was like to lose a teacher. To have that feeling of emptiness and he was about to give her what he felt when he lost Jiraiya. He hated knowing that but at the very least he knew that she would recover with Yoruichi and, as much as she did not like him, Urahara, one of his own closest friends despite being exiled still.

"Naruto-sama please don't leave me… I…" she began to say as she began to choke up as she wanted the words she's been wanting to say for centuries to come out. "I love you…" she says as she pressed her forehead against his chest, clinging to his Haori for dear life, as if asking… begging him not to leave her. To leave her alone.

"I'm sorry Soifon… I love you too… I'm sorry I couldn't return your feelings before…" he says to her as he felt his life began to leave his body as she only clung harder to his robe. He had been with her for so long… trained her. And now he was dying. It would take a long time for her to recover. If at all.

He felt his life slip through his fingers before he felt something. A portal open beneath the both of them as they were dragged through to somewhere. It was quick and sudden, and they had barely anytime to register anything before they fell through.

'just my luck' Was all he thought.

Shinigami Chambers

The God of Death was what you consider a patient man. Watching things play out and making his moves then. He had to be. All things died in the end and in order for them to find his way to Hueco Mundo or the Soul Society, He had to be patient. Life and Death were an integral part of the balance that kept the worlds going. Him and Kami sama kept the balance of power. A push and pull. Give and take. Yin and Yang. Things had to be perfect.

And they were for millennia. Until now. Until Sosuke Aizen. He made a mess of everything. So in order to put the balance of power where it was. He had to do a do over. Something he had spoken to Kami about.

It wasn't long before the one that he had summoned landed in his chambers, Naruto Uzimaki Namikaze. What surprised him, was the plus one that he brought with him when he opened the portal. Usually he wasn't so careless.

"We meet again Namikaze-san" The Shinigami calls out, deciding to at least look more hospitable then the god of death that most in the elemental nations saw him as, as he looked completely human with the usual Shinigami robes. "And you must be his student, Soifon correct?" he asks as Naruto laughs.

"Good to see you old man…" he says coughing up another glob of blood.

Soifon's eyes widen as she recognized who this was. This was the Shinigami-King, brother to Kami. "Yes S-Shinigami-sama" she says bowing to him. She honestly never thought that she would meet the Shinigami king. She never saw herself as anymore important then any other Lieutenant of the Gotei 13. as the Shinigami smirks as he walks over to Naruto who was still bleeding all over the floor.

"Good…" he says waving his hand over Naruto which healed his wounds as Naruto felt the energy began to return to his body, as he sat up, rubbing where the stab mark used to be as he took a deep breath, as if taking his first breath for the first time. He was about to stand before he was tackled by a red eyed Soifon who was still emotional for almost losing her captain and her crush once more.

"I'm alright Soifon…" he says to her as he turns his head before pressing his forehead against hers, as the Shinigami let them have their moment before he watched as the two stood up. Naruto, picking up his Zanpaktou and slipping it back into his sheath. "What did you need us for Old man Gami?" Soifon was about to reprimand him for talking to him that way as the god laughs at him.

"Your version of respect hm?" he says as Naruto gave him the usual goofy grin as he shakes his head. "As much as I would like to catch up. No. I have business to ask of you. I am sure you know by now what Aizen is attempting. And as much as I do not like to admit it, he is getting dangerously close to achieving those goals." He says as Soifon's eyes widen at this. She knew he was dangerous but not this dangerous. "I've already spoken to my sister, and she realizes the dire straights we are in. we never interfere unless it is absolutely necessary. And this, is one of those times" He says as he looks at him.

"What did you need Old man?" He asks him, his hands moving to behind his head. He was worried about his comrades, sure, but if this was dangerous enough to warrant the Shinigami king to intervene then it was much bigger then a few lives, even though he hated saying that. He wanted to rush out and save them now that he was fully healed.

"Me and my sister talked about the few ways we could intervene, but none had more merit then making sure the events never take place at all" he says as he takes a step forward and puts his hand on Narutos shoulders and looks at him square in the eyes. "I am going to send you back in time. Before your premature death, to change the past. I do not care how you do it. But I want you to rid this world of Aizen. But do not be stupid about it either. I am giving you a second chance. Don't end up imprisoned because you gutted him as a toddler" He says showing that he did indeed have compassion as Naruto snorts.

"Don't worry, if I'm going to kill Aizen, its going to be the right way." He says as the Shinigami nods, thankful. "But… before I go, before you send me back. Why me Old man?" He asks the god; he always knew he was the child of prophecy and that he died prematurely but he didn't think that was enough to really earn him any special treatment. He always thought that he was nothing special. Sure, he was the Jinchuriki for Kurama but that was really about it. Sure, his father was Hokage, but that wasn't really anything, at least in his eyes, to earn him any special treatment from a god.

"Because I trust you." Was all he said, and this causes Naruto tough almost choke on his spit at this as Soifon was looking at him with wide eyes. Yes, the Shinigami King trusted his guard with his life, but that was only a select few people and nothing to the magnitude as this.

Her captain truly was special. She felt like she was a child all over again. Meeting him for the first time.

"Also…I want Soifon to come with me."

"Done" Was all he said as he pulls the signature kodachi from his waist, the one he usually had in his mouth in his true form, and swiped it left in an open area, opening the portal to where they needed to go. "You will be taking over your old self so to speak. You will have everything with you, your Haori, your skills, your Zanpaktou, and Soifon will appear next to you. Do not disappoint me. I am placing a lot of faith in you child of prophecy. Also… I might send you friends to assist you on your journey, it won't be immediate, but this job is far too large for just two people to handle alone."

"I won't let you down old man. I gotta be my father's son after all" he says with a grin as he looks at Soifon who nods, taking her hand into his as they step up to the portal. This was it. A chance to right all the wrongs. To do things right this time. This time with feeling.

And with one step, they walked into the portal. To face whatever trials and tribulations together.

Konohagakure, Centuries earlier

Naruto wakes up with a gasp as he bolts up from his bed as he looks around, his old apartment, he smiles lightly as he takes the sight in, something he had not seen for a long, long time. He could not wait until he walked around the village and take in all the sights again. He looked down at his body, and as promised from the Shinigami king, his clothes and Zanpaktou had followed him.

He will have to modify his wardrobe, but there was no way in hell he was going to leave his captains robe behind. Sure, he'll get rid of the usual Shinigami clothes but much like his fathers' signature Haori, he was not about to give up his captains Haori. Nope. No way. No how.

He had to figure out when he was as he felt strange having his old body again, alive, but he climbs out of bed and looks at the calendar. Just after he came back from the training trip with pervy sage. Good. A lot of things to fix.

He could not wait to introduce Soifon to all his old friends and comrades. To his godmother… though maybe he should warn her before he introduced her to Jiraiya. Lord knows how that is going to go. Speaking of which, he looked around before moving to the living room of his apartment and saw her napping on his couch.

He smiles as he walks over and strokes her cheek. "Soifon… Soifon wake up" he calls out to her as he watched her eyes flutter open as she roused from her sleep. He does not know why he did not pursue their relationship further before, but honestly, he didn't care. He had her now and he was going to have the time of his two lives with her. Again, consequences be damned.

"Naruto-Sama…?" she asks as she awoke before she finally caught sight of him, he stroking her cheek before the wave of memories bombarded her as tears welled up in her eyes as she shoots up from her lying down and pulls him into a hug. "I thought I was going to lose you" she whispers as she holds him close, tears streaming down her face. To anyone else they would have thought they entered the twilight zone, because Soifon was showing emotion besides anger and even crying.

"I'm alright Soifon… I am alright. I love you" he finally tells her as he strokes her back as he held her close, moving where he sat on the couch and holds her close. It took her a good solid few minutes before she calmed down as she slowly returned to her usual self.

"I love you too Naruto-sama" she says to him with a soft smile as she looks up at him, not moving from his lap, now that they were a couple, she could do all the things that she had been wanting to do. It takes her another long minute to realize where they were. And when they were. "So, Shinigami-Sama was telling the truth… he did send us back in time." She says as he nods.

"Yes. That just means we will have to do it right. I know you don't know where we are and when we are so ill having to bring you up to speed but for the most part, as long as you stay close by, we should have no issues" he tells her as she nods as she finally and begrudgingly gets up off her lover's lap. He stood from the couch as he looks around. It had been so long, but he still remembered everything. And he was glad he did… "If I remember correctly…" he whispers as Soifon watched her lover look around before making his way to one of the cupboards before he smiles as he grabs a little toad wallet. "Ah there you are Gama-chan" he says with a grin.

"Gama-chan?" she asks curiously as he nods, popping it open to reveal a wad of cash.

"it was a gift. I was sad I couldn't bring this with me but it was one of the first gifts I had ever gotten" he says as he looks down. "I wasn't well loved at this point in my life. So I took any gifts I could receive and they became precious to me because they were the small little things that reminded me that people actually loved me. The Old Man. Pervy Sage. Baa-Chan" He says with a smile. But now they were all alive again.

"So were going to go buy something?" She asks as she was kneeling on the floor by now, yes she was with her lover but that didn't mean she wasn't going to stop being his protector and confidant, this just meant that she could express her feelings, go out on dates and the like. And it swelled her heart up with joy at this.

"Yep! We need to buy you some clothes, I still have some of mine here since this was after all my apartment but we have to either order you sets like yours or get you ninja attire, then after that I have to take you to go meet Baa-chan and register you to make sure you can head out on missions with me" he explains as he walks over to the headband he had left on the counter and wraps it around his forehead. It was nice to wear Iruka's headband once more.

Its kind of funny, when he died, he was saddened he couldn't bring these things with him, but now here he was wearing these things once more. It's the little things he supposed as he takes the money out of the wallet and began to count it. He nods in content before slipping the money back into his wallet before he slips the wallet away in his pants.

Walking back to his room, he grabs his Zanpaktou and wraps it to his waist. For now, he'll wear his Shinigami clothing, one last time before he changes.

"Who is Baa-chan Naruto-Sama?" She asks curiously as he made sure everything, he needed was on him.

"She's the leader of the village and my godmother, don't worry, you'll meet her soon enough, though you might draw comparison to a… outgoing Shinigami" he says with a small snicker as they walk out the apartment as he locks it up. "Don't worry… shell like you."

"I hope."

Finally, I had gotten out of my Funk. Truthfully, I wanted to do something to alleviate the feeling of doing nothing at home all day and especially after tragedy hit our family so I decided to try and be a useful member of this website Snort.

I had this idea on my mind for YEARS and attempted to do this a long time ago and truthfully it wasn't that good, the time travel mechanic I invented wasn't great and the build up to the romance just wasn't there so the feelings felt hollow kind of. But here after years of writing and honing my skill, I decided to try and give this story a shot.

I DO TAKE CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM BUT HATE IS ONE OF THOSE THINGS I DON'T.

THERE WILL BE A POLL ON TIER HARRIBEL.

I am looking for beta writers who will help and encourage me on my little adventure here and hope someone will step forward, but I honestly don't expect it. I'm also hoping to commission a cover art for this story as I want this to be an epic tale of adventure and romance.

Anyway! Please leave a review and let me know what you think as the reviews give me the motivation to keep going! Love Yall! Caio.
