She gulped.

"Man, I would hate to be her." Kaien stated as he whistled.

Rukia was going to be facing Naruto's shikai to get her used to fighting an opponent stronger than herself, against an ability that most would never want to face. She already her her shikai activated, a beautiful white blade with a ribbon on the handle. Her sword was ice based, and that was a great element to have.

"You ready Rukia?"

"As ready as I'll ever be."

"Okay then... get ready for this then. My Shikai is weird, so just fight like you always would." Naruto stated as he unsheathed his sword. Kaien closed his eyes, knowing what was about to happen. "Bind us Together: Ninshuu." Naruto stated as he ran his hand down the side of his sword.

It glowed golden.

That was it.

His spirit pressure grew in response to the release of his shikai, but that was it. Rukia looked at the release of his sword, and saw the lightest of flaming golden auras around the sword. Kaien kept his eyes closed, since he knew what would happen if he opened his eyes. Rukia on the other hand rose her sword up and took a combat stance. She gulped when she saw that Kaien was afraid to look at the fight, and she looked at Naruto's sword.

"My Shikai is weird, and not all that helpful for me. Come on then." Naruto gestured for Rukia to attack him.

The spar had already started.

Rukia felt herself frozen in place, before she gave a roar and rushed towards Naruto. She stepped in front of him, and she slashed at him. He raised his arm up, and he blocked her sword with his forearm.

*SPLISH*

Rukia felt a blade cut deep into her arm, and she jumped back with her arm going limp at her side. She looked at her robes and saw a slash in them, right at the same spot where Naruto's clothes had been torn.

'Did he reflect my attack?' Rukia tried to analyze.

"Nope."

"Are you a mind reader?" Rukia asked as she swung her sword up, but she jumped back when Naruto's sword appeared in her vision. To the best of her ability, she used a flash step to escape his swipe at her shoulder. She appeared at the other end of the battle, and she saw that her robes had been cut.

Right on her shoulder, the same shoulder of her injured arm, had a very shallow cut across it. She looked at Naruto, and she saw that his shoulder was bleeding. She saw he had some kind of armor underneath his robes.

"I can guess what you're thinking... my Shikai has the ability to end battles peacefully."

"End battles peacefully?"

"It's simple, anyone who sees the glow of my shikai, or makes contact with the blade, is bonded to me. Any wounds they inflict on me get inflicted on every person affected by my shikai, and any wounds I inflict on anyone affected by it, are ALSO inflicted on everyone under it's power." Naruto explained his shikai to her.

His shoulder healed already.

'I didn't cut his arm though.' Rukia thought as she looked at his uninjured arm.

"The reason you got cut and not me, was your sword wasn't sharp enough to cut me, but it is sharp enough to cut you. At the same time, my sword is sharp enough to cut me, so the damage it inflicted on you can also be inflicted to me. Now how will you fight me?" Naruto asked Rukia as he lowered his sword to give her the chance to tell him her plan. He did this with every member of the squad, so that could get experience fighting an enemy like him.

Rukia stepped forward.

Naruto used his sword to cut the back of his leg, and Rukia collapsed when the same wound appeared on her own leg. She collapsed forward, unable to run with only one leg, and surprised at the sudden wound.

"GAH?!"

A random squad member who happened to be walking by glanced at Naruto's sword as he sparred with Rukia, and all of the wounds that had been inflicted on Rukia and himself were instantly transfered to the man as well. He cursed loudly as he collapsed, and Naruto hissed in annoyance, feeling sorry for what just happened.

His shikai affected everyone without discrimination.

In theory, while while Shikai was activated, nobody who was under it's effects would be able to fight each other. Naruto looked at the back of his leg, and his hollow healing had already kicked in and healed his leg. Healing itself didn't get transfered over, so others would not be healed by his regeneration abilities.

"Sorry!"

"No, my bad, I looked at you guys... I'm going to visit squad 4!"

"You do that!" Kaien shouted to the officer with his eyes still closed. He was 'watching' the fight by the sounds, since he didn't want to be under the effect of Naruto's zanpakuto. "Such a sadistic zanpakuto... it forged a bond between you and your enemies, forcing you to try and understand each other without violence... and if you kill your enemy, you'll die too." Kaien could only wince as he thought of how horrible that ability would be to go against.

Not an enemy you wanted to make.

The sad part was that Naruto also couldn't hurt his enemies without hurting himself, because his zanpakuto was sadistic enough to also effect him. It forged a bond of pain between himself and his enemy, which was not a bond you wanted to forge if you wanted to win.

At the same time, any person who was weaker than Naruto was, had no chance of beating his shikai. If you could damage yourself but not Naruto, then you had no choice but to surrender to him. If you didn't surrender, then you would just be hurting yourself by attacking Naruto.

"How do I respond to this power..." Rukia got up and stood on an injured leg, while she held her sword with her uninjured arm. She searched her brain for any answer that she could come up with, and she noticed that Naruto's wounds had already healed. '... it must also heal him.' Rukia noticed that he seemed to heal at an unreal rate.

"You don't."

"I don't?"

"If you inflict a physical wound on me, then you inflict it on yourself, and if you use your zanpakuto abilities against me, then they will also effect you. If you cast an illusion on me to try and escape, then you will cast the same illusion on yourself... anything you do against me, will happen to you. Anything I do against you, will happen to me." Naruto told her, and she frowned as she tried to think of some way around it.

"Surely your zanpakuto has a weakness?"

"Yeah, the weakness is that it ALSO hurts me, that is the weakness. So if I cut off your head, then I cut my own head off... and the other weakness is that it effects my allies. So if my allies are caught in it's ability, if ONE of them dies, then every single person effected by the ability dies... my sword ends conflict... how do you beat me?" Naruto asked Rukia as he lowered his sword again, and he took a few steps towards her. "If you're not strong enough to hurt me, you can only hurt yourself... if you ARE strong enough to hurt me, you will hurt both of us."

"... If I were facing an enemy like that... I would lead them away from my allies, and then... I would trick my opponent into killing me, taking us both out together." Rukia stated as she thought of the best solution that she could to deal with an enemy like that.

Naruto bonked her head.

"Idiot!"

"OW... I glanced, thought the fight was over." Kaien laughed as he looked at his injured arm and leg, and he felt a bonk on his head. He had glanced, and caught a glimpse of Naruto's sword. Naruto looked at Kaien, before he swung his sword, and started to sheath it, and while he sheathed it he sealed it back up.

Naruto rubbed the top of his head where he felt his own bonk, while Rukia held her head in pain.

"Simple... the answer is run with your life, get stronger, and make a new plan... retreating to fight another day is not losing. If you and your allies walk away with your lives, then you win." Naruto told Rukia.

She nodded her head.

"Thank you Lord Naruto."

"FUCK!"

"HEHEHEHEHEHE! HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Stop laughing SHIBA!"
