DISCLAIMER: I do not own Naruto or Bleach.
The group consisting of Naruto, Shikamaru, Choji, Lee, Neji, Kiba, Momo, Renji and Rukia continued walking to the cafeteria when they ran into Kimimaro.
Kimimaro was one of the top students at the academy his skill in kido was topnotch and he mixed his clans dances with the zanjutsu of the academy making him deadly in combat.
"Hey Kimimaro, we're heading to lunch, want to join us?" Naruto asked.
"Sure." Kimimaro replied in a neutral voice.
As they neared their destination the door to the cafeteria slammed open and a large group of scared students charged out, among them was Izuru.
"Hey Izuru, what's going on?!" Kiba asked/shouted.
"Mugen-sensei and Jin-sensei are fighting again!!!!" (HA! bet you weren't expecting that, oh and by the way I don't own Samurai Champloo) Izuru shouted.
"Oh crap." Renji said.
"Alright let's go watch!" Naruto shouted. Naruto pushed through the crowd until he was at the door way.
Two katana's clashed sending a shower of spark's every where. The man on the right was a tall skinny man with a lot of muscle, his hair was a black shaggy afro that was very loose and with tanish skin, this mans name is Mugen. The other man Jin is, like Mugen, tall, skinny and well built but paler then Mugen, he wore a pair of wire-rim glasses on the bridge of his nose and his hair was black in a ponytail style, both were wearing the usual shinigami garb. Rukia, despite her size pushed through to the front of the crowd with Naruto.
"Mugen-sensei! Jin-sensei! What on earth are you doing!?" She shouted.
"Butt out missy, I promised myself about a hundred year's ago that I'd beat this four-eyed bastard and I'm going to do it!" Mugen shouted as he backed off from Jin and then charged again. Mugen jumped forward bringing his katana down in a vertical slice at extreme speeds. Jin sidestepped the attack and swung his sword in a diagonal cut upward, Mugen ducked to the ground just in time and kicked Jin's legs out from under him, with and 'Oof' Jin fell backwards where Mugen had used Shunpo and pointed his zanpakuto like a spike ready to impale him. But Jin used the Shunpo in mid air and jumped on one of the cafeteria walls, using the wall as a spring board Jin launched himself off it, while Mugen gathered up all the strength in his leg muscles and lunged as well.
A loud wet sounding pang rang out through the cafeteria as both men crouched to the ground holding there sides as blood slowly trickled out of the wound. They turned to face each other, with an 'I'm not losing to you' look in there eyes, slowly standing up both men grabbed there swords, raising them above there heads as reiatsu began to radiate off there body's.
"Blow him away, Taifuu Hidai!! (1). Mugen shouted, releasing his zanpakuto. The Shikai is an exact replica of his old sword; A double edged katana with a two pronged tsuba and a swirl design on the bottom of the hilt.
"Howl at the moon and take revenge for those you've lost, Urufu no Kage (2)." Jin said softly. The sword flashed before dimming down to a blackish glow, with now two blades in hand, a katana and a wakizashi, the tsuba of both the sword's was much like his old one's when he was alive, a lightning and twin-eyed design. Both men charged, Jin thrust his wakizashi at Mugen and shouted.
"Roga! (3)" the result was a black wolf claw made out of reiatsu that shot out of the end of the sword.
"Reppuu! (4)" Mugen shouted swinging his sword in a vertical slice resulting in a blast of wind. Both attacks collided making a cloud of dust kick up, the two shinigami rushed through the cloud at each other, but something felt odd looking up they noticed that there swords were no longer in there hands. Both men uttered a dumb sounding "Huh?" as they both collided head on.
"Alright, which one of you bitches took my sword." Mugen groaned as he got to his feet, pushing Jin down as he got up.
"That 'bitch' would be me." A voice came from behind Mugen. Mugen froze.
"Gen… General Yama! Wha… what are you doing here, Sir!?" Mugen stuttered as he started up at the elder Shinigami.
"I came to have tea with Heisei and check up on the academy." Yamamoto gave them a stern look.
"You both know that releasing your zanpakuto inside of Soul Society is a first class offence, so unless you two have a very good explanation I'll have to arrest you."
"I have a good reason." General Yama, Jin and Mugen's gaze drifted towards the door, where Heisei was now standing.
"And what might that reason be, Heisei?" General Yama asked.
"I asked Mugen and Jin to perform a… pop quiz you might say, for the students to see what a battle between two shinigami would be basically. Right Jin, Mugen." Heisei said.
"Huh?" Jin elbow's Mugen in the side. "Oh yeah, that. Yeah that's what we were doing." Mugen said smiling nervously.
"Why wasn't I or another captain told?" Yamamoto asked.
"I am sorry I forgot to send word to you. Forgive me." Heisei said as he made a bow.
Sigh" Very well. But don't let it slip your mind again, understand?" The old captain asked.
"Hai!"
"Good, now I think I will have some tea." As the old captain exited the room Heisei walked up to Mugen and Jin and dropped a huge suit case right beside them.
"What the hell is that?!" Mugen shouted.
"All of the paper work for this week, I expect it done by the end of the week, because…" Heisei leaned down next to Mugen and Jin's ear and whispered.
"You owe me big time." Both men slumped.
Aloud: "Now every one return to lunch if it's still there, oh and Naruto come here for a sec." Heisei motioned for him to follow. Naruto did as he was told.
Outside of his office Heisei bent down so that his mouth was only an inch away from Naruto's ear.
"Be at my office at mid-night, my friend has bumped up the trip and will be here tonight so don't be late, oh and don't forget you zanpakuto, got it?"
"Hai Heisei-sensei!" Naruto said.
"Good boy, now remember don't tell any one and make sure your not being followed when you come." Heisei said as he entered his office.
( 11:45 PM)
"Uhhh Naruto what are you doing?" Rukia asked sleepily as she lifted her head from her pillow, Naruto was at the door with his hand a couple of inches from the door-knob his zanpakuto tied to his back, he froze.
"Oh, sorry Rukia for waking you I was just uhh going for a walk." Naruto lied.
"If you're just going for a walk then why do you have your zanpakuto?" Rukia asked, crossing her arms in front of her chest. Naruto opened his mouth but no words came out he tried again but still no use.
"Uhh Rukia if I tell you will you please keep it a secret?" Naruto asked.
"Sure I guess I can." Naruto walked over too her and whispered in her ear.
"YOU'RE GOING WHERE!?!?!' Rukia screeched.
"Quiet Rukia, you'll wake every one." Naruto hissed.
"But you could get in real trouble." She said in a more 'indoor' voice but barely.
"I know but Heisei-sensei say's it'll be good for me and he hasn't double-crossed me before, so why would he now?" Naruto asked.
"I…. Ummm, I guess you're right, but…" She trailed off a bit. "You said you'd be back in a week and by that time the Kuchiki will have adopted me and I'll be put in one of the Gotei 13 squads and…" She looks up at Naruto with a small tear running down her face "I don't know when I'll see you again."
"Damn, your right." Naruto said, then an idea popped into his head, a grin coming across his face as he walked over to Rukia, he reached to the back of his neck and took off the necklace that Tsunade gave him, it was strange that he still had it even after he died. He then put the necklace around Rukia's neck, wiped away the tear and kissed her on the fore-head, a blush spread across her face.
"Now I'm just letting you borrow that, I want it back, so take care of it why'll I'm gone, ok Rukia-chan?" Naruto said, letting a gentle smile grace his lips.
"Ok." She replied in nothing more then a whisper.
"I'll see ya' later." He said softly as he left the room.
A gentle breeze came through the window in Heisei Izumi's office. He lifted his head from the book he was reading, a smile on his face.
"Hope traffic wasn't too bad… Kisuke." Heisei said as he turned around to face his guest. Kisuke Urahara was a tall man with bleach blonde hair, a green and white striped beach hat, a pair of traditional style Japanese sandals, a green outfit with a black coat and a cane.
"O-hayo Heisei-kun or should I say good afternoon." With a one of his quirk little smiles Heisei got out of his chair and looked out the door and checked both ways.
"Naruto should be here in a minuet or two. Anyway so just how did you get here exactly?" Heisei asked.
"It's a new bit of technology I'm working on, and as much as I'd love to explain and show you how it works, I can't, because we'd be here for a couple of days. Ahahahaha." Kisuke laughed.
Heisei face faulted. "You haven't changed one bit Kisuke, by the way how's Yoruichi?"
"Doing good, I suppose, haven't seen her in a while." Kisuke said. A knock was heard at the door.
"Sensei, Can I come in?"
"Yes Naruto." The door opened and Naruto stepped in. The minuet Naruto was through the door Kisuke started jumping around him as if were examining him, measuring his arms and legs and what not. He finally backed away and started robbing his chin.
"He's definitely got some strong arms and legs and you were right, his spiritual pressure is sure strong for his age, what would you say Heisei-kun 4th seat, 3rd seat?" Kisuke pondered.
"3rd seat, vice-captain once he learns to control it for some reason he seems to have a really hard time doing that, but oh well once you start training him he'll get the hang of it." Heisei said as he patted Naruto on the back.
"Ok you two say your good byes while I get every thing ready to go back." Kisuke said as he pulled an odd black square object out of his coat and started messing with it.
"Now Naruto…" Heisei said as looked down at Naruto. "I want you to know something, some times once you spend a lot of time with Kisuke, you'll find out that he can be… oh what's the word I'm looking for…"
"Uhhh a dork?" Naruto guessed.
"Yes! But listen to him, there is always a reason for his madness." Heisei laughed to himself "But any way, be good and listen to him." Heisei finished and ruffled Naruto's blonde hair.
"Alright, onward too Urahara Shop!" Kisuke said as he threw the device into the air which seemed to swallow them up and in a flash there were gone. Heisei walked back to his chair and opened his book back to its original place only to find it covered in graffiti, the most noticeable of the graffiti was a note from Urahara…
STOP READING SO MUCH AND FIND YOUR SELF A WOMAN!!!!
From the Honest, Handsome, Perverted Businessman!
Kisuke Urahara.
Heisei's eye twitched slightly as he picked up the book and dropped into his waste bin, lit a match and dropped it into the trash can.
"Idiot, he's lucky I found that before some one else did…" Heisei said to himself as got up and looked out side his window.
"Still, it was good to see him again." He let out a loud yawn, walked over to the futon he kept in his office and laid down as he watched one of his favorite books burn.
"Blleeaggh!" That sound came from Naruto as he vomited for the second time.
"Oh yes I forgot to tell you, the first time is always rough." Kisuke said in a sing-songy voice.
"Jerk!" Naruto said as he got up off the ground.
"Now Uzumaki-san follow me!" Kisuke said as he walked towards a trap door in the back of his shop. Naruto followed.
"Wow, who knew there was an underground training area under my shop!?!" Kisuke shouted in mock surprise. Naruto's jaw dropped, not really paying attention to Urahara. The place was huge it wasn't very pretty to look at, the area looked like a rocky desert but Naruto could tell this was one heck of training area.
"And these three are my helpers!!" Kisuke shouted as he gestured towards the group of people.
"The boy with the red hair is Jinta Hanakari." Kisuke pointed to him.
"Hello." Naruto said.
"Yo!" Jinta said in reply.
"This little lady is Ururu Tsumugiya."
"Hello mister Uzumaki." Ururu said timidly as she bowed.
"Hi." He said back.
"And last but not least mister Tessai Tsukabishi!" Kisuke finished.
"It's a pleasure to meet you mister Uzumaki."
"Thanks, you too."
"Now that the formality is done, let's get started." Kisuke said as he walked out away from the group then pulling out the part of his cane that was his zanpakuto and discarded the rest.
"Draw your sword Uzumaki-san." Kisuke said in a serious voice that made Naruto shiver slightly. Naruto did as he was told and drew his zanpakuto, holding it out in front of him.
"Now Uzumaki-san, have you ever taken a man's life?" The question caught Naruto off guard but he answered anyway.
"When I was alive, I was a ninja from Konohagakure. And in that profession you have too some times."
"Alright, so you know what life and death combat is all about. But…" Kisuke paused as pointed his sword out slightly.
"A clash between two shinigami is nothing close to that of a ninja. Awaken, Benihime." Kisuke said as his sword turned into his Shikai.
"Oh shit!" Naruto thought. "Hey why'd you release your zanpakuto!?" Naruto shouted.
"While I train you I plan to teach you two things. Number one: better control on your spiritual pressure and number two: help you unlock your Shikai and the best way to do that is too but you in a life threatening situation, thus unlocking Shikai, however it is very hard to do this so I hope you won't hold a grudge if I kill you by mistake." Kisuke said with a smile on his face.
"Heh, I won't, now let's get started!!" Naruto shouted as he charged, his claymore positioned for a vertical slice. Kisuke blocked Naruto's attack almost effortlessly and pushed him back with a punch to the gut, the blow hurt Naruto a little but he regained his composure quick enough to dodge an upward slice from Kisuke.
Naruto panted hard as leaned on the ground by a large rock, using his zanpakuto to stabilize him, he was covered in cuts and a stab wound on his shoulder. How long had he been fighting Kisuke now? Hour's? Day's? He didn't know it was impossible to tell from down here.
"I'll (pant, pant) be safe here for a bit, then I (pant, pant) gotta find a way to beat him." Naruto said to himself as he lifted himself up.
"Hoho! I see you now!!"
"SHIT!" Naruto shouted as the rock behind him blew into smithereens and he was sent flying. Naruto quickly got up but it was too late, Kisuke was already in front of him with his blade poised to slice his jugular. Naruto couldn't dodge it so he closed his eyes and waited… and waited…. and waited.
"What the…" Naruto thought as he opened his eyes, he was no longer in Kisuke's basement but he was now in a place he was familiar with, the sewer of his subconscious, however there was no ankle high water. He walked down the hall way he usually went too get to the Kyuubi's cage, but as he arrived he looked and that the cage that was now destroyed and Kyuubi was no longer inside. This scared Naruto, when he died did some how the Kyuubi get out? Was he destroying Konoha right now or did he already. Naruto would have thought some more on this but something caught his eye, there were now two other doors in the room where there hadn't been before, being the curious person Naruto was he decided to go through the door to the right. As he walked through the door a bright light blinded him and as he shut the door behind him it disappeared. When his eyes adjusted to the light he looked around the area he was on top of a mountain, but somehow it seemed familiar. Walking over to the edge of the cliff his eyes widened, he was on top of the Hokage monument and the village of Konoha below him, however there seemed to be no movement coming from the village.
"Beautiful isn't it?" Naruto jerked around to see who said that and again his eyes widened.
"Yondaime Hokage!!!" Naruto shouted.
"You talking to me? That's not my name, my name is ." The man said, who was a splitting image of the late Yondaime.
"What, I didn't hear you." Naruto said.
"Oh that's right you can't here my name yet." The man sighed "Well I guess I better get explaining. I am one of the souls that reside inside your zanpakuto."
"Wait one of them, who or what is the other? And why do you look like the Yondaime?" Naruto asked.
"You will meet the other when you go through the other door in Kyuubi's chamber. As for why I look like the Yondamie is because he was some one you looked up too very highly in the land of the living." The spirit answered.
"Now it seems you need some help out there so I will tell you my name so can unlock your Shikai, the other spirit also has a Shikai form so you will have to pass his test as well later. Now my test is simple, find me at my favorite place in the village." said as he disappeared.
"What the hell kind of test is this, I don't even know your name so how am I going to know your favorite place!!" Naruto shouted.
's voice came out of nowhere and said. "Oh did I mention you have a time limit? And if I didn't you have a half an hour."
"Great!!!" Naruto thought angrily as he raced off into the village, looking high and low for his zanpakuto's spirit.
(25 minuet's later)
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!?!?!?!!?!" Naruto shouted.
"Slluurrpp!"
"Huh?" Naruto muttered as he turned to the sound, he was in front of his favorite place in the village Ichiraku ramen shop. And there he was sitting on a bar stool and chowing down on a bowl of ramen.
"AHA I found you!!" Naruto shouted as lunged at the man, who dodged him easily while he was still eating.
"What took you so long?" The man asked.
"How was I supposed to know this was your favorite place!?" Naruto shouted/asked.
"Hahaha, Naruto-baka I'm part of your spirit, so of course this would be my favorite place because it's also yours." The man said grinning. Naruto did an anime style drop but quickly got back up.
"Ok I found you, now will you tell me your name?" Naruto asked.
"Sure it's Hiraishin, to use your Shikai just shout out my name." After Hirashin finished Naruto's vision started to blur until it was all black then in an instant he was back in the real world. And almost automatically Naruto shouted.
"Hiraihsin!!!!!" the result being a giant flash of yellow light and giant blast of energy blowing through the area making Kisuke have to jump backwards.
"By George I think he's done it!" Kisuke shouted happily.
As the dust and smoke started to clear you could see Naruto's Shikai clearly, it was no longer a claymore but a Chinese war sword that glowed an awesome yellow with the occasional electric spark running up the blade. Naruto charged at Kisuke ten times faster then before and slashed down ward just barely cutting Kisuke's coat. Kisuke eyes widened slightly.
"Could that have been Shunpo(5)?" Kisuke thought surprised. Naruto kept on the assault swinging his zanpakuto with great accuracy and Kisuke blocking each blow just as accurately.
"I feel so fast, it's as if Kisuke-sensei has slowed down, even if it's not by much. Could this new speed be one of Hiraishin's powers?" Naruto thought as thrust his sword toward Kisuke's head, Kisuke dodge it by leaning back, however it wasn't enough as the front part of his hat split in half. Naruto jumped away from Kisuke and crouched on the ground.
"But damn using it is taxing, I'm definitely going to have to schedule some practice time some time this week." Naruto thought while panting. Kisuke took off his hat and examined the damage.
"Well it seems you've killed my hat. Oh well." Kisuke said as he razed his sword above his head and his reiatsu began to surge, after Naruto got on his feet he did the same.
"I wonder if Hiraishin has a long ranged attack like Jin and Mugen-sensei, I sure hope so." Both shinigami swung there sword at the other, Kisuke unleashing a large blast of reiastu and Naruto launching a smaller blast of yellow reiastu mixed with electricity. Both attacks collided in a catastrophic explosion. Naruto was thrown back, Tessai catching him before he hit the ground but Kisuke avoided the blast with only a small burn mark on his coat. Naruto looked up and thanked Tessai for catching him, the top part of his academy robes burned away and burn's marks on his body.
"Alright Naruto-kun that's enough for now, tomorrow we'll…" Kisuke stopped as he looked over his shoulder and then twisted around yelling.
"YORUICHI!!!" Naruto looked in front of Kisuke and saw who 'Yoruichi' was.
"It' just a black cat." Naruto thought. Kisuke picked up the cat and began to hug it until it got tired of it a slashed him on the nose with it claws.
"Heh, sorry Yoruichi ummm Ururu could you please go and prepare some milk for our guest?"
"Yes mister Urahara." She replied and ran of to do what she was asked.
Kisuke then walked over to Naruto and Tessai saying in a cheery voice "Naruto-kun this is Yoruichi, Yoruichi this is Naruto Uzumaki.".
"Hello Naruto-san." Yoruichi said.
"Cool, back when I was alive my old sensei could summon talking dogs and I could summon talking toads." Naruto said.
"Really, you'll have to tell me about it sometime. So I'm guessing you were a ninja?" Yoruichi questioned.
"Yeah, but I only got to the rank of Genin." Naruto said sheepishly as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Ah don't worry, from what I've seen you'll make it pretty far in Soul Society." Yoruichi said with a smile, well at least Naruto thought it was a smile, kinda hard to tell coming from a cat. A loud grumbling sound came from Naruto's stomach, followed by a blush of embarrassment on his face.
"Well, sound's like some one is hungry, what would you like to eat?" Kisuke asked.
"RAMEN!!!!" Naruto shouted.
"Tessai, could you go do that while I take care of Naruto-kun's wounds?"
You got it boss!".
Naruto flopped down on his bed, groaning from the soreness, even though Kisuke closed up the wounds it still hurt.
"Ah buck up man, you've had worse, well when you've died there's not much worse." Naruto thought grimly. He smiled though, he enjoyed all of the Urahara shop's company. Jinta was a little brat sometimes but he was still a nice guy and seemed older and wiser then he looked, Ururu was a sweet girl who kind of reminded him of Hinata and Tessai was a hoot even though it didn't seem he was trying, like during dinner Kisuke ate a little to much ramen and said he felt a little sick and Tessai forced him to take this medicine he said he ordered after watching a T.V. commercial about the product; Naruto swore he could still here Kisuke on the can. Naruto's eyelids started to get heavy and he eventually feel into a deep sleep.
