A/n: Aw SNAP!! My new chapter, lots and lots of fighting in this one and it still isn't finished I had to stop because the chapter was getting too long XD lol!! But next chapter you will all see Gaara and Sakura fight lol. And you'll all probably wonder why these people came and why they are fighting. But it will all be explained in the next chapter
Please review!!!
One of the lower ranks of squad 3 ran up to their Captain and whispered into his ear. Gaara glared at the ground and then looked at his subordinate, "Is this true?" he asked.
The man nodded and Gaara scowled, "Naruto, take over for now. I will be right back" Gaara said to his lieutenant.
"Um sure" Naruto said a little caught off guard but then started ordering the underlings to get into line for the inspection that was going on.
Gaara stormed out and headed towards Squad 6's building. Upon arriving he shoved the door open. The whole room fell silent and looked towards him. "Sabaku-teichou!" they all saluted.
Sakura blinked and looked behind her to see Gaara standing right there. "Uh Ino please take care of the rest of the preparations" Sakura sweat dropped and grabbed Gaara's arm and dragged him out.
"What are you doing? You're supposed to be in your Squad house" she huffed looking up at him.
"I heard that that Uchiha filth had touched you" he said only growing angrier by the second. Sakura sighed and placed her hands on her hips and looked up at him.
"Gaara I can handle myself you know. I am a Captain, your not my babysitter" huffed crossing her arms and facing to the side. He glared down at her and was about to say something when the warning bell went off.
Both Sakura and Gaara looked up to the center building and then to each other. "What do you think it could be?" she asked.
"I don't know, the warning bell hasn't rung in along time maybe it's something small" he wondered. A black butterfly fluttered towards them, Sakura outstretched her hand and it landed on her finger.
"It's a hell butterfly," she said waiting for the message. "It says 'All Captains please report to the Squad room for an emergency meeting'" Sakura finished and it flow away.
Sakura looked over at Gaara worry on her face. "I hope it's something small" she said as they both started running down the hall way making their way up to the Squad room.

Jiraiya stood in front with his 12 Captains in two rows facing each other. "It seems that the five Ryoku that were supposed to be stopped at the northern gate somehow survived," he said glancing over at Sasuke as did all the other captains.
"It was an honest mistake Jiraiya-sama I thought I had killed them" Sasuke said trying to redeem himself.
"It does not matter now; they have broken through the spirit barrier I need my captains to find these Ryoku and destroy them. Be careful if they have made it this far into Soul Society then they are no ordinary Ryoku"
"Now I want to send my captains out in pairs, Sasori and Deidara" they both nodded and headed to the door disappearing from sight. "Gaara and Sakura you two will be together" without a word Gaara headed out with Sakura following.
"Neji and Hinata, Tsunade and Itachi, Kiba and Shikamaru, and then Sasuke and Shino. Now go and take care of this problem," Jiraiya ordered dismissing them all.
-
"Mmm, Sasori-danna are you excited? It's been awhile since you have killed" the blonde 11th captain smiled. He looked over to her as they jumped from roof top to roof top.
A small smirk came across his face and Deidara giggled. "So my danna is happy" she said running ahead. "But what would happen if I defeated the Ryoku first, hm?" Sasori scowled and caught up with her.
"Do not get in my way" he glared only making her smile grow.
"Or what Sasori-danna?" Deidara snickered and disappeared. Sasori growled and disappeared as well.
A black haired man sighed and looked over at his masked comrade. "Must they always be like this?" he wondered trying to pick up the pace.
"Deidara-teichou is always silly Sandaime. Especially when she is around Akasuna-teichou" he hissed the name of his inner rival. Sandaime looked over at Tobi and gave him an odd look.
"You have issues with my Captain?" he said as they continued towards where they're captains had headed off.
"He stole the love of my life" Tobi shook his hand in vengeance with anime tears coming from the one eye hole in his mask.
"Ooook," Sandaime said speeding up a bit. 'What a creep. I'm pretty sure Deidara-teichou never loved this kid' he thought to himself as they came up to their captains once again.
"Eeee Sasori-danna look! I see one of the Ryoku and it looks like they are fighting with my squad" she squealed and jumped down behind them with Sasori.
"Deidara-teichou! Akasuna-teichou what are you doing here?" one of the subordinates asked.
"To save the day of course" Deidara smiled and looked over at her red head. "Awww Sasori-danna pleeeease can I kill him. It would mean soo much to me. I'll give you a special present late" she said giving him a knowing look.
Sasori huffed and looked off to the side, "Fine. But hurry up so we can find the other Ryoku before the others I want to kill one too"
"Thank you Sasori-danna!" Deidara cheered and looked over to where the Ryoku was. Her squad made a path for her as she walked over to see a man with six arms. "How did a freak like you get past the spirit barrier?" she asked tilting her head.
He glared at her and pointed a finger at her, "And who the hell are you, woman!" he yelled making Deidara smirk.
"My name is Akasuna Deidara, the co-head of the Akasuna clan and the 11th division's Captain. You will die here unfortunately, for I am now your opponent" her smirk grew.
"A Captain huh, so that's why you got that white coat over your Shinigami clothes, that's a pretty small zanpakuto for someone who is supposed to be at Captain Level"
Deidara stared at him and then her smirk returned. "Apparently you don't know that much about Captains, if we let our sword match our own spirit power, they would be far to big to even lift" she laughed and pointed her own sword at him.
"Well, I am Kidoumaru and I will be the one to claim your life" he smirked and took out six swords one for each hand. Deidara sighed and rested her sword on her shoulder.
"You going to have to make me use my released sword aren't you? Fighting six arms is difficult and I'd rather not take to long. My danna doesn't like waiting after all" Deidara laughed and held her sword out.
"Soar, Nendokinchou" she said and her sword turned into multiple clay birds that began flying around her. "Blow all his arms off!" she ordered as they all shot forward heading for Kidoumaru.
Deidara made a sign with her hands and one of the bird exploded making a big black smoke. The other birds went straight through and blew up once they got even close to him.
Deidara tilted her head trying to see through the smoke. "Did I get him?" she wondered as more clay birds appeared around her. She went wide eyed seeing six blades shoot out from the smoke.
The birds flew in front of her and she brought her arms up to lessen the damage. She lowered her arms seeing Sasori standing in front of her holding off all six of the swords with his one.
As the dark smoke cleared Kidoumaru glared at the red head that had stepped in and protected the woman. "Another Captain" he sneered and the swords retreated to their normal size.
"Akasuna Sasori, Captain of the 7th division. I think it's about time you died" Sasori said with a bored look.
"Sasori-danna! That's not fair I want to kill him!" Deidara said sounding like a child who didn't get what she wanted.
"You lost your chance and made me wait far too long, I will kill him" he said unsheathing his sword and looking at the six armed man. Deidara crossed her arms and glared up at him.
"You're so mean Sasori-danna" she said walking away from him. Her sword turned back to normal and she shoved it in her sheath. "I hate you" she stuck her tongue out at him.
"Sure you do," he yawned and faced Kidoumaru. "Control, Sutoringusu" he said and his sword vanished. "You have lived before me long enough" Sasori said stretching his hand out and moving it around in a circle multiple times.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Kidoumaru yelled about to charge forward at the seemingly weaponless Captain.
Sasori grabbed into the air and as he began running he stopped in his place. Sasori took out his other hand and grabbed the air and had his arms crossed over each other. "Enjoy your last breath" he smirked slightly and tore his arms away from each other and Kidoumaru split in seven different pieces horizontally cut.
"Akasuna-teichou you're so strong!" many of the girls in Squad 11 were surrounding him with hearts in their eyes.
"I know," Sasori said walking past them with an obviously angered Deidara following him.
"I could have beaten him you know" she huffed.
"You took to long" he said simply before starting into a run. Deidara pouted and caught up to him with their lieutenants' close behind them.

The three Hyuuga's and Tenten ran through the streets toward a large group of Shinigami. They slowed to a stop and one of the underlings turned to see them. "Hyuuga-teichou! Hinata-teichou! This Ryoku is causing us quite a bit of trouble" he said to the cousins.
"Is that so" Neji sighed and looked at Hinata, "I shall handle this one but be prepared if any other of them decide to come"
Hinata nodded and followed him as he pushed past the lower ranks and made it to the front to see a silver haired man. "And who might you be Captain?" he smirked upon seeing the two with the white over layers.
"I am Hyuuga Neji, Captain of the 10th division and you are?" Neji asked placing his hand on the hilt of his sword ready to draw at any given moment.
The Ryoku smirked and tightened the grip on his own sword. "The names Sakon and I'll be the one to kill ya" he bowed to Neji only making the Hyuuga irritated.
Neji ran at him drawing his sword and aiming at the Ryoku. "This all the power a Captain has? HA you make me laugh" Sakon pushed Neji back a bit.
"Fine you wish to see power I will allow you to see my released sword" Neji held it out away from him and closed his eyes. "Surround, Shikaku" he said opening his eyes and the veins around them coming into sight.
His sword had a faint white glow, "Now see the power of the Hyuuga clan" Neji said running forward at him and swinging side ways cutting on the shirt of Sakon.
He began laughing again, "Is that a-" he froze and coughed up some blood. "What the hell, you didn't hit me!" he held his hurting chest.
"I don't have too; if I hit you the pain would be far worse. I wanted you to get a taste of what you're going against" Neji smirked and looked over at his opponent. "With our special abilities we can see all the weak spots, we don't only attack your flesh but your insides" he said seeing the horror on the man's face.
"This time you won't be able to stop the attack either" Neji said disappearing. He slashed up coming right in front of Sakon. A huge gash was now on his chest and he fell to his knees feeling his insides be destroyed.
Neji sheathed his sword and his eyes returned to their normal white. "Teichou you're SO amazing!" Tenten said with stars in her eyes as she followed her captain. "I am so lucky to be your subordinate!" she squealed and twirled in a circle. Hinata and Hanabi sweat dropped and followed their cousin and his number one fan.
"That Ryoku was pathetic," Neji sighed trying to locate others.
"Nii-sama it seems one of the other Ryoku was killed" Hinata said quietly walking beside her cousin.
"Yes, it seems so. Only three left then I wonder who will get the others" he said aloud.
-
"It seems there is one of the Ryoku over there Uchiha-teichou" Tsunade said looking over a ways from the roof top they were on.
"Tsunade-teichou, two of the other Ryoku's spirit forces are gone" Shizune said informing them.
"That's good to hear, they don't seem to be very strong. I wonder why Jiraiya-sama sent the Gotei 13 after them" Itachi sighed.
"They wanted us to snuff them out quickly" Kisame smirked.
"I'm sure they could just send the lieutenants to do that, they don't seem that capable. If two are already gone this soon that means they must be weak," Shizune said crossing her arms and looking at Kisame.
"Shizune calm down I don't mind taking out some little Ryoku. Uchiha-teichou and I haven't fought in a long time. It should be good for us," Tsunade said snickering.
"I am sure you don't need me Tsunade-teichou, you could take them out on your own. This is merely a waste of my time, these Ryoku are like insects to me" Itachi said looking bored.
Tsunade shook her head, "Its Jiraiya-sama's orders and I want to get back and have some sake, so shut up and lets take care of this" she said setting off to the location of the next Ryoku.
Itachi sighed and followed the 2nd squad captain. "Oi, he's a fat one" Tsunade laughed as the plump man looked up at her.
"Well aren't I lucky I get to kill two Captains today"
"Oh he's funny eh Uchiha-teichou?" Kisame smirked looking at his clearly uninterested Captain.
"I'll handle you fat boy" Tsunade smirked jumping down.
"A woman is going to fight me? Even if you are a Captain you're a woman" he huffed.
Tsunade twitched and grabbed her sword; "I'll show you to judge by gender" she pulled it out and pointed at him. "I, Tsunade, the Captain of the 2nd division, the secret corps, will tear you to shreds! Demolish, Kyouko!" she shouted and the sword shifted into the shape of a 7.
She slashed down hitting his sword head on pushing him down into the earth making a giant crater. "What they hell are you lady?!" he yelled.
Tsunade smirked and jumped back. "Anytime you're hit with my sword it unleashes its power ten fold. There is no way to break my sword and I can take down buildings with one swing!"
"You will never defeat me, Jiroubou, the greatest of the Sound 5!" he cackled and slashed at her but Tsunade dodged it easily.
Tsunade sighed and leaned on one side, "Shizune this scum is not worth my time, kill him" she yawned.
Shizune was taken back a bit she looked at Itachi and blushed slightly. "You mean me? Now? Here?" she said awkwardly.
"Yes, now and here. Time to show Uchiha-teichou what a real lieutenant can do and Kisame as well" Tsunade smirked as Shizune nodded.
"Um yes Tsunade-teichou" Shizune said jumping down. She took out her sword and pointed it towards Jiroubou.
"A mere lieutenant? How insulting to think one at such low rank could defeat me" he laughed and ran at her. Shizune moved the sword down and slashed upward cutting him off guard. She ran her hand along the blade and yelled,
"Pierce, Heiki!"
The blade turned into many senbon and flew at his opening. They flew out of the other side of him and Shizune sighed standing up straight and looking down at the bleeding man.
"Apparently a lieutenant is all it takes to defeat you" the senbon flew back and reformed her sword. "Oh and just so you know, there was poison on all of those senbon, you will die in a matter of minutes" Shizune said walking over to her Captain.
"Very good Shizune as accurate as ever" Tsunade said sheathing her sword.
"Well that's three down only two more Ryoku to go" Shizune said as her and Tsunade returned to Itachi and Kisame.
"I . . . will not . . . be beat by . . . a woman . . . of such low . . . rank" Jiroubou whispered angrily looking up and seeing the four talking. His sword bent into a boomerang shape and he glared up.
"That . . . lieutenant will . . . die" he hissed using the last of his strength to throw it as hard as could. Itachi looked behind her and jumped forward grabbing the black haired lieutenant by the waist and pulling her out of the way.
Jiroubou scowled and saw an angry Tsunade. "I'll kill you for that" she yelled taking her sword out again. "Demolish, Kyouko!" she shouted and slammed her sword down on him cutting him in half and smashing him further into the ground.
"Are you all right?" Itachi asked looking down at the lieutenant he was currently holding.
Shizune blushed madly and nodded afraid she might say something stupid in front of him. "That's good we wouldn't want that disgusting pig injuring the 2nd divisions' lieutenant" Itachi said releasing her and then looking out over the vast soul society.
"Yeah," she whispered and poked her fingers together.
"Shizune you alright?" he Captain asked now beside her. She nodded once again and looked at the two. "Well I think we'll be able to head back now, we killed one and the others should be able to get the rest" Tsunade said happily wanting to get back to her sake.
"I agree let's go Kisame" Itachi said as he and Kisame took off towards the 13th squad building. As they were running he looked over to his lieutenant and thought a bit, "Do you fight with that lieutenant because you like her?"
Kisame stumbled and looked away, "O-of course not, I mean well . . . wait NO! I don't why would I like her" Kisame said rubbing the back of his head.
Itachi decided not pressing the matter and accepting his fake answer. "Why do you ask?" Kisame wondered.
"I was just curious" he retorted and left it at that. Kisame nodded and the two hurried back to their squad building.

"Aww sweet Shikamaru we found one of them" Kiba said pointing forward at the lower Shinigami getting beaten. "Ha-ha YES, we are so lucky! I wanted to get one of them so badly and three of them already disappeared. Lemme take him" Kiba asked looking back at the lazy Captain.
"Do it I don't wanna have to do anything anyway, this is such a drag" he said placing both hand behind his head and looking up at the clouds.
"Oh come on Shika-teichou!" Temari cheered and got in his face. "Get off your lazy butt and do something for once, you could so beat that chick" she smirked placing her hands on her hips.
"And here she goes again" Shikamaru sighed signaling Kiba to go get her before he was forced to do something by his lieutenant.
Kiba walked up and looked at the orangish pink haired girl. "Aw it's a girl? Oh well a fight is a fight I suppose" he shrugged and stopped getting the girls attention.
"And you are?" she looked at him waiting for an answer.
"Inuzuka Kiba, Captain of the 8th division and here to take you down" he smirked pointing his sword at her.
"Ah a Captain, I'm Tayuya and that will not happen I assure you" she said back.
"Ah is that so, we shall soon see then won't we!" Kiba laughed pulling out his sword and jumping at her. She blocked it with what looked like a flute, Kiba stared at it and then jumped back.
"Why are you fighting with a flute?" he wondered and she just smiled.
"You will soon see," she said placing it to her lips and playing. A searing ring was running through his ears and he held his head with his free hand.
"That . . . noise" he cringed in pain. "What the hell is that noise?" he looked up seeing she wasn't playing her flute anymore but running at him. He winced at the still ringing he was hearing.
He brought his sword up just in time to block her attack and pushed her back. "So I have to fight like this, what a clever little trick you have" he laughed and lost his balance a little.
"I'll have to finish this quickly," he said trying to muffle the noise the best he could.
"Hunt, Ikimono!" he yelled and his sword separated into two differently shaped ones that were attached by a chain to each other at the end of the hilt. He grabbed the middle of the chain and began spinning one of the swords around.
Trying to ignore the ringing was becoming harder and harder. 'Maybe if I destroy the flute I can stop this irritating noise' he thought to himself and sent one of the swords at her barely missing as she dodged it. He pulled it back and started again and threw it once again. But as she jumped to avoid it he pulled it back and spun around bringing it around him and straight to her.
She brought her flute in front of her to break the attack and it hit it in the dead center and then cutting through. She jumped back and avoided the fatal blow but looked down at her ruined flute.
The noise in Kiba's ears slowly died away and he could feel a migraine coming on. "You had an annoying trick but it's over now!" he smirked and ran at her. He threw the first sword at her but she dodged, he grabbed the hilt of the second one and sliced down on her before she could react.
Tayuya fell to her knees blood all over her body and then she fell to the ground motionless. Kiba smirked and twirled his sword around and then caught it. They merged back together and he placed it back in its sheath.
"Well that was fun," he grinned and then held his head. "Man I have a killer headache now," he sighed and looked over at Kankuro. "Let's go back I really need to lie down" he laughed.
Kankuro nodded and went to assist his Captain. "You could have beaten her," Temari said her arms crossed glaring at her captain.
"Yeah, yeah I wanted to let Inuzuka-teichou to have his fun" Shikamaru said defending himself as he walked towards the squad towers. Temari huffed as she reluctantly followed him.
