Soul Society - 8th Division's compounds

A little blonde toddler with two pairs of whiskers on each cheek was running around Squad 8 compound with a pinkette girl, both giggled. "You can't catch me Yachiru!" The blonde toddler shouted.

The girl, named Yachiru, gave the blonde a wicked smirk and flash stepped in front of the blonde. "Tag." She said with joy.

The blonde grunts. "No fair. You know I can't do flash step yet." He pouts.

Yachiru sticks her tongue out. "To bad Boru. You have a hundred years to learn." Said Yachiru.

Boru, short for 'Boruto' grunts. He'll never understand how someone can look and act the same age as him but old enough to be his ancestor. 'She's even older than grandma Kushina.' Thought Boruto.

"Now you gotta catch me." Said Yachiru then flash stepped away. Boruto grunts and is about to run after her until he hears 'ehem'.

"Going somewhere?" Asked in a strict and familiar voice. Boruto turned around and grew pale on seeing the disapproval of the former lieutenant of squad 8, Nanao Ise, also known as 'Nanao Uzumaki', his mother.

"Kaa-san?" Boruto's blood went cold.

Nanao stared at her three year old son with disapproving eyes and sighed. She picks him up and heads to the captain's office. "At this point I can't get mad. No matter how many times I tell you to stop playing around every Division's compound, you're still goaded by Lieutenant Kusajishi." Said Nanao.

Boruto gave her a sad look. "Sorry kaa-san." He said.

Nanao's face softened. He was still a newborn soul, you can't expect him to learn how things work in the soul society. Although, he got some of his behavior from her husband. He had an odd behavior and he never showed any formality towards Captain Kuchiki, to which everybody, including Lieutenant Kuchiki wonders how is he still alive. Nonetheless, all the captains respected him, even Captain Soifon. Her husband is just an unpredictable soul reaper.

Squad 8th's Captain's Office

There was the new Captain of squad 8 and he wasn't pleased with the stack of paperworks he had to complete. Even some of the paperworks was supposed to be signed by the previous 8th Division's Captain, who's now the new head captain.

"Morning Captain Naruto." Said his lieutenant, even in the living world he recognized that voice.

"You don't have to be so formal around me, Itachi." Said Naruto.

And yes, Itachi. After the death of Naruto and Sasuke at the Valley of the End, Itachi was devastated when he heard the death of his 'foolish' little brother who died trying to reach Orochimaru for power. He wished he would have come up with a different plan than affecting Sasuke's mental state, then the two of them would still be alive, also Naruto. But Kami aka the Soul King, had other plans. Sadly he didn't have plans for the red eye arrancar.

Itachi smiled. "Sorry, force of habit. You know how the other Captains and former lieutenant Nanao can be if I don't properly form my superiors." Ironic that the boy he was hired to capture in the living world will become his superior in the afterlife.

Naruto snarled. If anything, Itachi is Captain level soul reaper. With the exception of Captain Yamamoto, Kyōraku, Unohana, Kenpachi and Aizen, he can beat the other Captains. Even Byakuya regarded Itachi as an equal. No surprise since they're a lot alike. To this day he still wonders why he turned down the Captain's promotion.

Naruto sighed. "Whatever." He said, too excited about what he got plans for. He'll have to wait till she gets here and an excuse to go to the living world.

"So, what tricks have you got up your sleeves to get out of paperwork?" Itachi asked.

Naruto smiled. "No tricks at all. In fact it's a special day, so the work can wait." He said.

"Yeah, I heard that same excuse from the head captain." Said the former lieutenant now entering the office with her sleeping son in her arms.

Naruto rubs his head sheepishly. "C'mon hon, you know I'll get it done eventually." Said Naruto.

Nanao rolled her eyes. Unlike her lazy uncle or every soul reaper, Naruto can use… as they call it 'shadow clones' to get his work done. In fact, some of the jutsus benefit the soul society, except elemental jutsus, kekkei genkai and summoning. It's no different than a zanpakuto's shikai and bankai.

And she did find 'other' ways for Naruto to use his shadow clones.

She knew Naruto would do his work, which is another reason why she married him, he always kept his word. Plus, it was their anniversary, important or not, she be damned if she'll miss out on whatever her beloved has plans for.

Nanao looked at Itachi, signaling him. Itachi knew what she wanted and left the office, on his way to the 10th Division's compounds.

Nanao gently places the sleeping Boruto on the couch and goes towards her husband. Naruto smiled and held his arms out to Nanao and she sat on his lap, her head laying on his shoulder. Nanao can be a sweet kitten in private but a fierce tiger in public.

Naruto kissed her forehead gently, making her blush. Nanao placed her hand inside his shihakushō and rubbed his chest gently. If Boruto wasn't here, they would be fucking on the desk again.

Naruto felt Nanao's hand on his scar, remembering how he got it. That day was endless mental pain for him.

Flashback - Valley of the End

Both Naruto and Sasuke panted heavily. They were beaten up and blooded. Red chakra is covered around Naruto and the curse mark is active on Sasuke. Both not giving each other an opportunity to win.

Sasuke glared daggers at Naruto. He keeps getting back up. Naruto is too determined to bring him back, he blames Sakura for manipulating him.

"WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU TO COME BACK TO US!?" Naruto shouted. "WE CAN HELP YOU! JUST DON'T GO TO THAT SNAKE!"

"SHUT UP!" Sasuke shouted. "THERE'S NOTHING YOU OR THAT VILLAGE CAN DO TO HELP ME! NOT YOU, NOT KAKASHI, NOT THE 3RD, NOT ANYMORE! I'm going to kill my damn brother and I'LL TAKE OUT ANYONE WHO GETS IN MY WAY! EVEN YOU NARUTO!"

Naruto was saddened at what he said, he would kill him if this goes on any further. Naruto gave Sasuke a serious look and clenched his fist. "If it means bringing you back, then I'm willing to take the risk." Said Naruto in a determined yet broken voice.

Sasuke's eyes twitched. He gave up. There was no point in convincing Naruto. Naruto is Naruto. Sasuke sighed, Naruto gave him no choice. He charged a chidori and charged at Naruto.

Naruto formed his rasengan, a bit purple than its normal color. He charged at Sasuke, pairing to end this feud and complete his mission.

Several Minutes Later

Kakashi was falling apart at seeing his two students not moving, not breathing. They're dead.

Naruto had a hole through his chest where his heart used to be and Sasuke's rib cage had been crushed.

Kakashi shed a tear, he failed. He failed his teammate. He failed his sensei. He failed Sakura. He was a horrible sensei.

He was unaware that a plant-like figure was watching with interest the entire time.

Days passed and everyone (small group) was present at Naruto's memorial. Kakashi, Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shizune, The retrieval team, Ino, Tenten, The Suna Siblings, Konohamaru, Moegi, Udon, Teuchi, Ayame, Koyuki, Isaribi, and especially Hinata, who were crying on Kurenai's shoulder. They were all present and mourned for the lovable knucklehead ninja.

However Sasuke didn't get a memorial because of treason and Sakura was mourning over Sasuke Naruto's memorial didn't cross her mind.

Present

Naruto sighed at the memory, to Nanao he didn't say anything for a moment. "What's wrong?" She asked.

Naruto blinks, snapping back to reality. "Oh sorry. I was just thinking about something." Said Naruto. It has been a hundred years since Naruto lived in the soul society and in the living world he's been dead for 7.

Nanao realized she was rubbing his scar, making him remember his failed and last mission. "Sorry." She apologized.

Naruto smiled. "No need to apologize Nanao-chan. It's fine." It's been years and Naruto got over his failure. Besides, he has a wife and son to look out for and he was happy.

Ironically she sounds a lot like Sakura and sort of acts like her, minus the hitting and fangirling.

He kissed Nanao and she returned it. "Happy Anniversary Nanao-chan." He said.

Nanao smiled. "Happy Anniversary." They both kissed each other again.

"Old man Kyōraku gave me a week off for us to spend time with each other and Boruto will be at my parents house for the week." Said Naruto.

Although Nanao wasn't pleased with how Naruto addressed the head captain but she was grateful that Kyōraku wanted them to enjoy themselves.

Nanao smiled. "So where are you taking me?" She asked.

Naruto smiled. "Well the last part is a surprise but I'll tell you what we're doing tonight and over night." Naruto then kissed her neck, making her moan a little, giving her the hint.

Suddenly a flash and the sound of a click interrupted their moment of peace. They both turned and saw the busty ginger smiling. "Aww why did you two stop? It would have been juicy for the SWA magazine."

Both the soul reaper's face was red, Naruto with embarrassment and Nanao with fury. "Rangiku, I thought I made myself clear what would happen if you take pictures of us and link it." Said Nanao in a cold and scary tone.

Rangiku smiled nervously and ripped the picture then left the office. Unohana was scary enough but the captain's mother just had to ruin Nanao. Even Lisa likes the woman.

"You know she got an extra copy." Said Naruto.

Nanao snarled. "I know, but she got the message." Nanao lays back on Naruto's chest. "Other than the surprise, what are we doing?" She asked.

Naruto smiled. "Awhile ago, I had a talk with Ichigo."

Nanao looked at him confused. "The substitute?" She asked, wondering where this is going.

"Yeah. A month ago I asked him which is the finest restaurant in Karakura town and he showed me one where he took his girlfriend Orihime." Said Naruto.

That just brings joy in Nanao's ear. Of course her unpredictable husband already planned this out. Nanao kissed his cheek and got off his lap. "Then let's get ready. I'll take Boruto to Minato-san and Kushina-san." Said Nanao. She picks up a still sleeping Boruto and leaves the office.

Nanao smiled. With all her heart she loved this life Naruto gave her. She couldn't believe the soul reaper she once considered a baka would end up being her husband.

Decades Ago

"Hey Nanao-chan. Guess what." Said the alcoholic Captain.

Nanao pouts. "I don't have time for guessing games, Captain. I'm busy and you should be busy as well." Said Nanao.

"Well I have been busy with Captain Unohana for a while but I don't think-." Kyōraku's mouth was covered by Nanao's hand.

Nanao's face was all red, not wanting to imagine what her Captain and Captain Unohana were doing behind the sheets. "I'm talking about your work, NOT THAT!" She exclaimed.

Kyōraku puts his hand up defensively. "Okay okay Nanao-chan, no need to be hasty." Said Kyōraku. "But it would be nice to introduce you to a new member of our squad."

Nanao blinks in confusion. "New member?"

Kyōraku nodded. "Yes, I think you'll like him. You can come in now." He said it loud enough for someone on the other side of the door to hear.

The door opened and here comes the new recruit. It was a blonde-haired, blue-eyed guy, with whiskers. 'Wait. Whiskers?' Nanao thought.

"Nanao, this is Naruto. Naruto, this is Nanao, my niece and lieutenant." Kyōraku introduces them.

Naruto smiled. "Nice to meet you Nanao-chan." Nanao was stunned. No one but her captain had the gall to call her 'Nanao-chan'. Naruto held his hand out to shake.

Nanao shook his hand. "Likewise." She said. Something tells her she's not looking forward to him being a member of squad 8.

Decades past, Naruto has been promoted to 3rd seat of the 8th Division and was celebrating with Rangiku, Izuru, Shūhei, Ikkaku, Yumichika and few more soul reapers (who's not irrelevant in the series.)

"Cheers to Naruto on his new promotion." Said a drunk Rangiku.

Naruto smiled nervously. "Thank you. Thank you all." He said.

"And to think in a matter of time you would replace that ugly 3rd seat." Said Yumichika.

"You're lucky you're not our 3rd seat." Said Ikkaku.

Yumichika nodded. "Otherwise you would have to pass Captain Kenpachi's initiation."

Naruto gulps, the man was a battle hungry psychopath. To this day he wonders how Ikkaku and Yumichika are not dead… again.

"So Naruto, what have you and Nanao been up to lately?" The busty drunk asked.

Everyone who heard looked at Naruto with a smirk. Naruto's face flushed. "T-there's nothing going on between Me and Nanao-chan." They weren't buying it.

"C'mon, give me the juice." Said Rangiku. "Tell me, did you kiss her?" Naruto's face turns even redder.

"I… we… " Naruto was too embarrassed to speak. Naruto admired Nanao and he actually made friends with her but they never got that close. Now the image of him kissing Nanao made his cheeks burn.

"Naruto." Called a familiar voice behind him. It was Nanao and Naruto pray to the soul king, hoping she didn't hear that.

"Nanao-chan." Naruto said nervously. Everyone, especially Rangiku, smirked. They can tell that the blonde was embarrassed. "Here to join us?" He asked.

Nanao gave him a serious look. "No. Captain Kyōraku wishes for your presence."

That just saved Naruto the embarrassment. "Sorry guys. Duty calls." Said Naruto.

Everyone just sighed. Well there's a next time.

Without paying attention, Naruto bumps into someone. "Sorry." He apologized, not looking at his fellow soul reaper in the eyes.

"It's fine. Accidents happen." Said the soul reaper. Nanao grabs Naruto's hand and takes off with him.

Rangiku turned to the soul reaper Naruto bumped into. "My my my. What's your name, mister tall and handsome." She asked.

"Uchiha. Itachi Uchiha."

Nanao stopped and made sure they were a few distances away. Naruto was confused. "Nanao-chan? Why we stopped?" He asked.

Nanao turned, face to face with Naruto, her serious face softened a bit. She placed her hand on Naruto's cheek and kissed him on the lips. Naruto's eyes widened in shock and returned the kiss.

To Nanao, it was supposed to be a five second kiss but it ended in a minute and a half. She was into the kiss she didn't want to stop.

Both of them broke apart catching their breath. Both their faces went red. Naruto looked at Nanao and smiled nervously. "Uh-umm." Naruto didn't know what to say.

"This is between us." Nanao said, back to her serious tone.

Naruto looked at Nanao and asked. "The kiss or… more than that?"

Nanao turned away. "More."

Present

That day was the start of Naruto and Nanao's relationships. She wanted to keep it a secret because knowing Rangiku, she'll spread the tea and both their faces will be on soul society magazine. To her annoyance, Rangiku already caught on and told everyone.

Nevertheless, the former 8th Captain approved of their relationship, then their marriage, then Boruto. Although Shunsui was her uncle, he was also a father figure to her and seeing him give Naruto his blessings warms her heart.

Nanao left the compound and headed to the rukongai, where Naruto's parents lived. Any soul would want to be a soul reaper and not wanting live the life of poverty, but Minato and Kushina-san didn't want to become soul reapers. Living a life as a shinobi and dying as one is stressful but waking up in a realm where you have to 'cleanse' evil spirits is far from what they do in the world of the living. Unlike the other souls, Minato and Kushina didn't have to live in poverty, they lived close to the Shiba Siblings and things turned out well for them.

Nanao understands their decision, seeing Naruto happy to meet his parents for the first time, made her happy.

Author's Note: If you're mad that I let Naruto die, how else is he supposed to go to the soul society? Walk? And I couldn't think of another name for their child so fuck it. Boruto it is
