'Hello' -Zanpakuto/Hollow/Arrancar thinking

-1 week after the raid on Seireitei-

Naruto was stood next to the Senkaimon as he looked at everyone there "Where's the brat?" he asked in a bored tone as Yoruichi landed on his head.

"Ichigo is currently checking on Byakuya and Rukia" Yoruichi said as he sighed softly.

"Of course he is" Naruto said and then heard someone shouting to wait up and turned to see Ichigo "Finally, right, now that everyone's here let's head home, I'm sure Kisuke wants to see us all and I need to go talk to some people" Naruto said as he tapped the Senkaimon surprising the Captain's as it opened and he pointed "Go" he said to the teens and saw Ichigo carrying a Substitute Soul Reaper badge and looked to the Captain's and sighed as he entered.

While he was walking he smirked a little seeing their confused faces "What's with the smirk Naruto?" Ichigo asked as Naruto hummed.

"Oh, just the cleaner is coming" Naruto said with a large smirk and they looked behind them to see it coming and started to run while Naruto jogged keeping up perfectly fine "Oh, this speed is boring" he said and grabbed Ichigo and Chad "Orihime and Quincy boy, put a hand on Chad or Ichigo, we'll be home soon" he said as they put a hand on them and then everyone vanished, when they looked around they saw Naruto stood perfectly fine and the portal closing, they looked around and saw themselves at Urahara's house "Huh, my positioning was a little off" he said as he heard the door open and felt Yoruichi hop off his head and walk into the shop.

"Ah, it's good to see you're all back" Kisuke said as Naruto nodded and started to walk away.

"I have places to be and people to talk to" Naruto said before he vanished and Ichigo grumbled.

"Damned bastard just abandoning us like this" Ichigo sat up and saw Kisuke laughing softly.

"How about I get you all home?" Kisuke asked as they nodded and he tapped his cane making a large safe zone "Get in, I'll be flying off soon" Kisuke said as they nodded and got in.

-With Naruto-

Naruto had walked into the abandoned factory area and walked into a seemingly abandoned one but knew that Hachi had a barrier around it, as soon as he entered he dodged a sword slash "Oi Monkey Brat" he said as the girls eyes widened "I suggest you stop" Naruto said simply as she nodded and backed up.

"Sorry Naruto" she said as he shrugged and looked around.

"Where's Shinji?" he asked as Hiyori pointed to the hatch and he sighed as he opened it and jumped into the large space "Shinji" he said and saw someone turn to him "You got a mission from me" Naruto said as he nodded "It's time to watch Ichigo he's unlocked his mask and I want you to test him a little and see how he fights" Naruto said as he sat on a rock "But give him a month or so" Naruto said as he nodded.

"So, little Ichigo finally unlocked his Hollow Mask?" Shinji asked as Naruto nodded.

"In a fight again little Byakuya as well" Naruto said as he chuckled "I may also be forced to join Squad 0 soon, I'll ask for an observation position" Naruto said surprising those there.

"You're finally joining their ranks?" he heard Lisa ask as he nodded.

"Yep, Seireitei has even excused your 'crimes' as Central 46 called it" Naruto said with a smirk "Aizen finally made his move and we're preparing to counter it" Naruto said as he stood up and looked in a random direction "Anyways, don't bother me, I'm off to train my Hollow mask to extend the time and also to train with my Bankai" Naruto said surprising the Visoreds as he vanished.

"He does know he's the strongest out of us all right?" Hachigen asked as Shinji nodded "If he knows why does he keep training?" Hachigen asked again as Shinji replied.

"He plans to protect us all if he needs to, even if it kills him" Shinji said seriously as they all looked to him and he chuckled "I believe we'd best get training then if Naruto is" Shinji said as he stood up and summoned his Zanpakuto.

-2 weeks later-

Naruto was walking towards Urahara's shop when he felt someone jump on his back and sighed "When did you get here Rangiku?" he asked as she hummed.

"10 minutes ago, Urahara told me I could find you over here" she said as he smiled softly.

"I see you got a Gigai as well" he said as she nodded "So prepared for our date?" he asked as she nodded again and he hummed "How does ramen sound? After all I didn't get to prepare too much" Naruto said as she shrugged.

"Why not" she said as he walked with her next to him the two holding hands, upon reaching the ramen stand she read the name Ichiraku's Ramen and Naruto smiled opening the flap and walking in with her.

"Oi, old man, I'm here on a date" Naruto shouted into the stand as Rangiku blushed and sat on a stool next to him as an older man came out and smiled.

"Ah, Naruto boy, nice to see you again" the elder said as Naruto nodded.

"How are you Teuchi?" Naruto asked as he nodded.

"I'm good, Ayame is studying for her finals so she can't help out I'm just glad we aren't too busy" Teuchi said as Naruto nodded "Anyways, what are you and your girlfriend having?" Teuchi asked as Naruto hummed.

"I'll have my regular and whatever Rangiku wants" Naruto said as she nodded.

"Uh, could I have a Miso pork?" she asked as he nodded and started to cook the ramen, when done he put down two bowls to Naruto and one to Rangiku.

"Enjoy" Teuchi said as Naruto smiled and split the chopsticks with a quick thank you and started to eat as he talked to Rangiku the two getting to know each other a little more, after the date Naruto had claimed he would have loved to have met Rangiku earlier in life than right now because he would have claimed her as his own which confused her until he chuckled.

"I mean I would have married you by now" Naruto said as she nodded softly and he paid for their ramen as they walked out of the stall after saying goodbye to the owner, they made their way towards Urahara's shop making small talk, once reaching it Naruto opened the door and smirked at Urahara "Hey there bucket hat bastard" Naruto said as he walked into the shop as he heard someone laughing and turned to see a red head "Who's the guest?" Naruto asked as Urahara replied.

"This is Renji Abarai" Urahara replied as Naruto hummed.

"Oh right, little Byakuya's lieutenant?" Naruto asked as Renji looked confused but nodded.

"Yes I am Captain Kuchiki's lieutenant" Renji said "Who are you?" he asked as Naruto smirked.

"Oh me? I'm Naruto Uzumaki, ex-lieutenant to Shunsui although I've been approached by a Squad that's basically a myth to you two" he said as he stretched "Apart from that I own this shop along side Urahara although I don't live here" Naruto said as Kisuke nodded.

"Yeah, after I kicked you out" Kisuke said as Naruto tch'd.

"I'll have you know I planned to move out for months before you even asked me to leave" Naruto said before he yawned a little and opened a book on the counter and closed it "Of course you still read this porn Kisuke" Naruto said throwing the book at the bucket hat wearing scientist.

"Eh?" Kisuke asked before catching the book "This isn't my book" Kisuke said as he looked at Naruto "I thought it was yours" Kisuke said as Naruto scoffed.

"Like I needed porn, I used to imagine Yoruichi but after meeting Rangiku here" he said trailing off as Kisuke sighed "Maybe it's Tessai's? Or has Shinji been here?" he asked as Kisuke hummed.

"Tessai!" Urahara shouted into the shop and out came Tessai "This yours?" he asked holding up the book as Tessai shook his head "Then who's?" Urahara asked himself as Naruto looked to Renji.

"Not mine, I don't read that stuff" Renji said as Naruto hummed and his eyes widened.

"You don't think it belongs to one of the brats?" Naruto asked as Kisuke hummed.

"It could" Kisuke hummed more "Hey Naruto, could you go and get them after school?" Kisuke asked as Naruto nodded.

"Yeah, anyways Renji, if you and Rangiku are here, does that mean Ichigo's female friend is here?" Naruto asked as Renji raised a brow.

"Rukia?" Renji asked as Naruto nodded and he looked away "Yeah, Rukia came she even has her Zanpakuto back" Renji said as Naruto hummed.

"So she's the ice witch" Naruto said looking out of the shop "Rukia's Zanpakuto is ice based if I had to guess" Naruto said getting a nod as he sighed and stood up Rangiku following his action "I'm going to collect the brats, you know how to contact me if you need me" Naruto said as Kisuke nodded.

-3 months later-

Naruto was sat in his house as he sighed "Aizen is making his move" he whispered to himself but heard a female groan and smiled "You know, just because you got assigned to protect Karakura town doesn't mean you have to stay here" he said rubbing her stomach "Especially since you know what it turns into" he whispered in her ear as she shivered.

"Oh but you're just so good Naru" came the voice of Naruto's favorite strawberry blonde "You always make me pass out" she whispered as she sat up and cuddled him "Sadly I have to go report in or I would have had a very nice ride of you before reporting" she said as he kisses her head and lets her get dressed.

That's right, over the past 3 months a lot has happened, they found out Rukia is a closet pervert as she owned the porn book Naruto found 3 months ago, they had a fight with immortals who called themselves Bount's, it annoyed Naruto but he didn't get involved and recently he assigned Shinji to watch over Ichigo in school and to only make contact when Shinji deemed he was prepared to tame his Hollow.

Naruto sighed as he sipped his coffee and looked to the bedroom door to see Rangiku leaving in her Shihakusho and returning to Seireitei as he yawned softly, their relationship had improved to the point where they were sleeping with each other and both loved it, they also became an actual couple.

As Naruto took another sip he felt two Spiritual presences appear and groaned "Garganta" he whispered as he stood up surpressing his presence before vanishing and reappearing near the two presence and hummed "Aizen's pawns" he whispered to himself and saw the bigger one fighting Ichigo even if the bigger one wasn't trying too hard and sighed.

He spectated the fight keeping his presence hidden completely until he saw Urahara show up with Yoruichi and block the big guy, Yami's, attack "Hey, Ulquiorra, is this one of them?" Yami asked as the shorter one nodded.

"Yes, the two of them are also dangers to Lord Aizen's plan" the shorter one Ulquiorra said as they then heard someone sigh from a tree branch and Ulquiorra looked up seeing a small spec of blonde before he felt his arm missing "Wha?" Ulquiorra muttered in surprise.

"So, these are Aizen's elite guards?" they heard a drawled out voice as Ulquiorra turned to see Naruto holding his arm and seeming staring at it "Not very strong if you ask me" Naruto mumbled as he stared at the arm "Then again" he trailed off looking at the tattoos on the two Espada "Hey Urahara, wanna swap?" Naruto asked as he heard Urahara sigh.

"Why so Naruto?" Urahara asked a little pissed off as Naruto chuckled.

"Ah, I guess you don't know then, obviously you can't feel their hidden presence in them huh?" Naruto asked as he shrugged and threw the arm back to Ulquiorra "Big guy there is stronger than batman here" Naruto said as he held out one of his hands "I really wanna see if the apparent strongest of them can make me use two swords" Naruto said as a sword appeared in his hand and he chanted "Set your foes a blaze, Amaterasu" as soon as he finished his sword was release into Shikai form and Yami sweated a little at the spiritual pressure but smirked knowing it would be a good fight.

Or would have been "Yami, we're leaving. Now" Ulquiorra said as Naruto clicked his tongue.

"So Aizen's pawns were warned about me?" Naruto asked before sighed "Sorry Amaterasu, no blood today" he said as the sword went back to sealed form before returning to a ring "Run along little bat, little centipede after all, by Aizen's terms we aren't supposed to fight yet" he said as he hummed and started to walk away before vanishing in his new technique he made, it's a longer ranged Shunpo and he decided to call it Shunshin.

When he reappeared he set up a barrier and flared his reiatsu, after a short wait a door seemingly opened and out walked Ichibē who looked at Naruto "You have you answer?" Asked Ichibē as Naruto nodded.

"As long as we assist in the coming war, I don't want to have people I care about dying on me now, boss" Naruto said before Ichibē nodded and the two walked through the opening.

A/N: Ended this where I felt I should have, next chapter will be hopefully out in a faster time than this one.
