So Uhm hallo, here's an update incoming, So let's be clear about a couple of things, please do not expect a timetable or pattern cause I'm definitely not that type of individual, Uhm secondly I would love to see reviews to know whatever I'm doing wrong, cause honestly if I keep writing without understanding my audience I might not get the required tone or direction for this story. Lastly, please the only thing to take into this story, pre-knowledge wise is the fact that the story is 70% bleach and 30% Naruto, Timeline would be around the founding of the Gotei 13 therefore, a lot of the content would be new, just telling you this upfront. also yeah this version of Naruto is a girl.

With all that said, it's time to get into the juicy and creamy center of the story, So here comes the disclaimer. I do not own Bleach or Naruto, They are intellectual products of the Genius Mangaka's Tite Kubo and Masashi Kishimoto (Will read Samurai 8 later)

No guidelines for reading cause honestly you guys never use that shit, so Uhm Goodluck I guess...

"One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential. Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest." -Maya Angelou

Chapter 2: Connections

Genryusai Yamamoto had always believed himself to be a very simple man, he remembered coming to the Soul society 300 years ago, he had ended up at the 79th district of Southern Rukon, the second to the last district of Southern Rukongai also known as "Kyokai", Genryusai remembered as a young man with fully lush black hair, Southern Rukongai was a completely chaotic land, due to the shortage of food and resources they were practically at war with almost every group or family that had formed to protect each other, recognizing the unspoken law for survival, Genryusai like fish to water had taken to learning and utilizing every form of art in defense, from the art of sword fighting to the art of close quarter combat, within a short period of 7 years Genryusai had gone from a minor member to being the leader of the Yamamoto family consisting of 19 men, 15 women, and 11 children, with 32 members of the family capable of combat and the rest of the family providing support by gathering food, information and the storage of resources needed to keep the combat oriented family running. Now as leader of the Yamamoto family Genryusai had heard of the appearance of the seven great Noble houses that were recognized by the Soul King, the mystical being that ruled over the Soul Society. He had heard of the right to rule that was granted to these clans. The Yamamoto family wouldn't stand for this.

Naturally, the Genryusai family ruled over Kyokai as they had subjugated every other family in the district, they were practically the only royalty at Kyokai, so it was a total affront to them when two of these families had come to request (more like order) the Yamamoto family to swear allegiance to them, these "requests" were made at different stages. First of all the Shiba clan had come with five of their experts to threaten the Yamamoto family, Genryusai in all his combat glory had taken the fight to weird Kamon wearing clan, they had no Kamon in originality, it was just the words that their Clan was known for, Either on their Haori, Pants or just any form of clothing they wore, Genryusai had stuck at each of the experts with a fury like no other. Next was the Mizukage Clan, the Great Gengetsu Hozuki had come himself along with Mei Terumi and finally the great Kisame Hozuki, this was a shocker to Genryusai as these three, were known masters across the entirety of The Soul Society. Gengetsu Hozuki was a master in the art of water manipulation, He was once claimed to have wiped out over ten thousand hollows by drowning them, Mei Terumi on the other hand, had the strange ability of heating up the earth until it was molten and her fluid control of the molten earth, Naturally, she couldn't control either of the base elements (Earth and Fire) but once she got her molten Earth she was a force to be reckoned with, Finally was the great swordsman, Kisame Hozuki was a master combatant, there was a parasitic weapon that he wielded, known as the Samehada. one of the great weapons forged by the Kasumioji Clan, due to his constant use of it he has taken a less than a human form, Now these three legends from the Mizukage clan were standing outside the Yamomoto family's manor. Now Genrysai and his family had to confront them for the rights to be autonomous, but the Mizukage clan didn't seem like they'll be allowing that as the Clan Head of the Mizukage Clan himself had come to deal with the situation, Lord Gengetsu in all his armored glory and the Shark Kamon of the Mizukage clan clearly emblazoned on it had walked towards Genryusai his katana at the ready.

"Genryusai of House Yamamoto, the Mizukage clan requests for the relinquishing of the administrative rights you took over on the 79th district of south Rukon, Kyokai, Failure to comply would equate to the forceful removal of the Yamamoto clan, so what says you?" His voice serious and clearly showing the gravitas behind that statement, Genryusai not one to waste opportunities that the Soul Society System gave, also walked towards Gengetsu Hozuki til they were only inches in front of each other, logically speaking the Yamamoto clan would be severely wiped out if they faced the Mizukage clan head-on.

"Gengetsu Hozuki of House Mizukagem, I request the "Three-way Duel" in the recognition of the reigning monarch the Soul King, I request the Mikkata Ketto to settle the administrative ownership of Kyokai. Do you accept?"

Smiling and recognizing Genryusai's use of The supremacy of the soul king, Gengetsu Hozuki couldn't help but notice how the Yamamoto family had controlled the Kyokai district for so long, unfortunately, Genryusai had made a mistake in thinking he could take on the three men who were standing before him, he had a plan to use the enemy's blade against him. In this case, Genryusai was the enemy. "With the terms of the Three-way Duel being that there shall be 3 combatants each from both houses, I Gengetsu shall uphold and agree to this challenge in the name of the soul king."

Genryusai Yamamoto's eyes had widened in surprise, what he didn't know due to being this far back in the Rukon district was that whoever accepted the challenge could state their conditions for accepting thereby making the challenge fair to both sides, If Genryusai didn't accept this term, the fight was going to hold and The Mizukage clan could easily take upon their words and wipe out the Yamamoto family. The answer was very simple " I Genryusai of house Yamamoto accept to this Mikkata Ketto, This we shall do in the next 5 days.

And so with simple words, the Yamamoto's family's faith relied on another Mikkata Ketto.
