Chapter 6
Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach. I just do this to have fun and kill the annoying pain in the ass known as boredom!
I AM SO SORRY FOR THE WAIT!!!!!!! I know it's been such a long time since my last update and if you want to blame some one (or something…) then blame Team Fortress 2; that game is so addictive!!! If you play it and you find 'the1sthokage' then give me a shout!!!
Well here's the next chapter!! Hope it is to your liking! OK I have finally decided on what the time line is, from the time Naruto and gang died to the time the Bleach story line starts is fifty years, so yeah some more ninja will be coming to Seireitei! Sweet!!! Also if you already have read my new story 'Naruto Fuma' than thanks but if not please do!!! Please.
Hmmmmm, now where did I leave it at last…. oh yeah…
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU!?!?!?!" The group gathered in Naruto's room shouted. To say Naruto was surprised wouldn't have done the moment justice.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING IN MY ROOM!?!?!" Naruto questioned back equally as loud. He looked over at his door and found it smashed clean of the hinges lying on the floor. Shikamaru followed Naruto's line of sight to the door and answered his unasked question.
"We felt your spiritual pressure but we couldn't get the door to open and you weren't opening it when we called so Choji broke it down." Naruto's gaze traveled to Choji who was happily cramming chips in to his mouth.
"How did I sleep through that?" Naruto questioned himself. Naruto threw his arms back and let out a loud yawn, placing his hands behind his neck he smiled up at the group gathered.
"So what have I missed?" He asked as if he had just been gone for a few hours instead of a week or two training his ass off.
"We asked the first question now answer it!" Renji shouted looking very irked. Naruto let out a sigh and began to tell them the reason for his absence and what he had done in the living realm, minus the people at the Urahara shop, Yoruichi, the hollow he fought (sort of…) and the unlocking of his zanpkauto's Shikai. He would have told them the real story but with Renji in the room he didn't think that was a good idea, sure they were friends but he hadn't know him long enough to trust him with something like this. Shikamaru smirked slightly as Naruto began telling them how he almost got ran over by a car only for it to go right through him when something popped into his mind.
"Naruto…. Did you get to see Konoha?" Shikamaru asked. The other four ex Konoha ninja looked at Naruto, desperation in there eyes wanting to hear something, anything of there old home. For a few seconds Naruto debated if telling them was such a good idea, but if he were in there shoes he'd want to know too.
"Yes…" And Naruto began to recount his short visit back in his home village. When he got to the part of Shino using his new summon and Hinata killing Sakon in one blow a proud smirk appeared on Kiba's face, the others wearing similar expression's when there old team mates were brought up. When Naruto reached the part with Sasuke using the Mangekyo Sharingan he had to explain what it was as best he could having very little knowledge of what it was himself and when he reached the part of Sasuke leaving every one in the room glared, unintentionally letting out a huge amount of killer intent which caused Renji to slightly step away from them. But when Naruto got to the part that Tsunade was still Hokage there dangerous mood seemed to slip away making Renji sigh in relief, who ever this Sasuke guy was he was in for when hell of a beating when he finally comes to Soul Society. Kiba patted Naruto on the leg.
"Were glad your back man." He said.
"That is right my youthful rival it is good to have you back!!" Lee shouted. Naruto smiled up at him. Climbing out of bed he moved over to his dresser and pulled out fresh academy robe's and made his way to the bath room. Turning on the shower he stepped in, he shivered as the hot water ran over his skin making him feel slightly sleepy, after he finished showering he moved over to the mirror and began brushing his teeth. Sensing that the others were still in his room he decided to catch up on what he'd missed.
"Oi 'Enji, wha 'quad Rukia get bin?" Naruto shouted, tooth brush dangling from his mouth as he waited for a response.
"The thirteenth squad!" After getting the response he began to brush his teeth again. After putting his tooth brush up he filled up a glass of water.
"Anything else?" Naruto asked as he raised the glass to his lips.
"Yeah (munch, munch) we have a big written test tomorrow on all the kido and history and stuff we've learned so far (munch, munch)." Choji said between fists full of chips. The sound of water spraying from Naruto's mouth and him gagging slightly echoed from the bathroom, he slammed open the door his eyes were red and he was coughing slightly. "WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" Elsewhere a smirk came a cross one Heisei Izumi's face. There was a small blush on his face as he continued to read his new favorite book.
"Naruto's friend's must have told him about the test tomorrow…" The door to his office opened, Heisei jumped slightly and placed Icha Icha Paradise under some of the paper work on his desk.
"Good morning Heisei. What was that?" Came the voice of his older brother Senju Izumi other wise known as the Shodaime of Konoha and the fukutaicho of the second squad (I hate the other guy so I replaced him! Who's the man, who's the man?!).
"Oh nothing Senju-niisan, just doing some paperwork hehehe… So uh what are you doing here?" Heisei said sweating slightly.
"Do I need a reason to visit my little brother? Anyway Soifon-taicho gave me some free time so I thought I'd come see how the new crop of brat's are doing and see what you were up to."
"Heh ok, I'll fix us some tea." Heisei sat up and moved towards a cabinet and took out the tea and a pitcher, after pouring some hot into the pot he set it on a heater and turned around to wait for it to heat up and found his brother holding Icha Icha Paradise.
"Interesting literature you have here brother. I never took you for the pervert type." Senju said with a smirk. Heisei was as whiter than usual and his eyes were the size of dinner plates. He hadn't even felt his brother move. Well he didn't get the rank of fukutaicho of the second squad for nothing.
Naruto was pacing in his room. How the heck was he supposed to get ready for a test that required him to review everything he had learned plus the stuff he had missed in one night? Momo and Neji sat patiently on the bed as Naruto continued to have a pre-test freak out. The rest of the guys had already left to do other things and Momo had come in a few minuets ago to welcome Naruto back. Naruto walked over to the huge pile of papers on his desk that was his home work and began rummaging through it
"Ok they won't have any sword drills since it's a written test so I don't have to worry about that right now. They might have some kido stuff so I better work on that, but I need a teacher…" He turned around towards Momo and dropped to the floor in a bowing position. "Please help me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" He shouted. Neji's eye began to twitch.
"Show some dignity, man." The look of surprise on Momo's face quickly faded and she smiled, sitting up she went over and patted Naruto on the head.
"No problem Naruto-kun I can help you with your kido training and Neji-kun can help us too!" She turned to Neji, he gave off an irritated sighed but nodded his head yes.
Neji's left eye began to twitch uncontrollably as he swung back and forth from the ceiling with a rope of spiritual pressure holding him there.
"Very good Naruto-kun, you've preformed all the kido we learned during your absence very quickly." Momo said smiling. Naruto scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"Aw it was nothing. It's probably just because you're a great teacher." Momo blushed at the complement and smiled at him. Neji cleared his throat.
"Oi! I'm still hanging from the ceiling!" Neji shouted.
"Oh sorry Neji…" Naruto released the kido and Neji feel none too gracefully onto his rear. After getting to his feet he brushed himself off.
"Come on Momo-chan it's getting late and we also have to take the test tomorrow. Good night Naruto." Together Neji and Momo exited Naruto's room. Naruto yawned loudly as he locked his newly repaired door.
'I'm so tired…" Naruto gazed over at the clock which said midnight. Despite the time he walked back to his desk, sat down and began going over his history paper's
"Let's start with… Famous captain's of Seireitei." Naruto thought as he opened up the large book and turned to the marked chapter. "Ado Takashi: The first captain of the fourth squad and founder of the relief squads within the fourth. He was known as a kind and gentle man some even declaring him a pacifist for much of his captaincy. Nearing his retirement the new eleventh squad captain of the time (The previous having died two hundred years ago by the first Vastro Lorde on record) challenged him to a duel and insulted him calling him 'soft' and the like. Much to the surprise of the eleventh squad captain and every one present Ado accepted the challenge. The battle lasted for nine hours straight and much too the surprise of every one, Ado defeated the eleventh squad captain. However the eleventh squad captain was injured so badly that the medics that attended the fight were unable to heal him or bring him back to the barracks with out killing him. Despite the brutal beating he had received from the eleventh squad captain, Ado began to try and save the disrespectful captain with his strong healing kido."
Naruto's eyes lids began to open and shut as he fought to stay awake. "The young captain; shocked by the actions of the elder captain said. 'Why? I insulted and disrespected you! Why try and save me?!' Ado simply smiled as blood dripped from a wound on his forehead. 'No matter what you might have done to me you are still a fellow Shinigami and as a healer and captain of the fourth squad I am sworn to help you." He smiled weakly as he closed up the last wound making him stable enough to be moved. After the medics had left with the captain Ado continued to kneel where he had been healing the captain, his lieutenant walked up to him and found that he had passed on…" Naruto's head hit the desk and he feel into a deep sleep.
Naruto awoke the next morning refreshed and feeling great that is until he saw the clock.
"Crap!! Class starts in six minutes!!" After gathering his books and getting dressed he made a mad dash for his class room. After the test, which he did pass, the beginning of his third school year went by uneventful, unfortunately. He missed Rukia so badly for two reasons. One: He missed seeing her and being with her. Second: He disliked his new room mate very much.
"Where the f#k is my hair brush!?!?"
"Tayuya, no matter how mad you get that's no reason to swear like that." Naruto mumbled as he tried to concentrate on his school work.
"Who the f#k do you think you are?! My f#$king father?!?!" Tayuya shouted at him, a tick mark on her fore head.
"Even if I was that wouldn't get you to stop." Naruto said as he slammed his head on the desk.
"Rukia-chan, come back to me!!!"
"Damn straight!!!" She shouted giving him a swift knock on the head before entering the bathroom.
(Some time later…)
Naruto pushed past a bush in the training ground he and Heisei usually trained in. He was running as fast as he could with out Hiraishin. His heart was pounding, his legs ached and screamed in protest as he ran even faster. He had to get away, if he was caught it was all over, there was no going back and he there was no way that was going to happen. He thought about turning around and fighting back but his opponent was to strong he would be defeated within seconds, he had no way of fighting back. He risked a glance over his shoulder and could have sworn he something move. He ran even faster as if the devil himself was after him, which might have been true. He came into a clearing that had a small pond in it where he usually took a break, which was slightly ironic because he really needed a break right at the moment. He turned around and readied himself, this was as far as he could run after running for five hours straight.
His ears strained for any sound and his eyes scanned the area for any slight movement. And then he heard it.
"BIG MOUTH-CHAN!!!!!" And he was finished. He cried in pain as his hair was pulled and yanked on as a small girl with pink hair swung back and worth with Naruto's shoulder length blonde hair.
"Yachiru, please stop! You're pulling my hair out!!" Naruto whined. Yachiru jumped on top of his head and huffed.
"Big mouth-chan you promised me today you'd take me out and get me candy, so why'd you run from me?!"
"Because you pink haired psycho, the last time I hung out with you, you braided my hair and it took Momo three hours to unbraid it!!" Of course he didn't voice this out loud. Despite how annoying she could be he really did care about her like he would if he had a little sister (Even though she was probably ten times older then him…), after all she was the one who had brought him to the Soul Society.
"I'm sorry, anyway let's go get some candy." He said smiling. Yachiru squealed with delight as she sat on his head while he walked to the candy store. Yachiru hummed happily as she sucked on a sucker that by all rights was to big for her mouth yet she some how got it in there. Naruto had a small paper bag filled with candy in his left hand and a pocky stick in his mouth.
"Big mouth-chan, can you come over for dinner tonight? Ken-chan would really be happy if you came!" Naruto blanched, the last time he had dinner at the squad eleven barracks was back in his first year at the academy, at first he enjoyed it very much despite the dangerous looks he kept getting from the captain of the eleventh. Near the end of the dinner Kenpachi had thrown him a sword and before he knew it he was doing his best to block the powerful captains' blows.
"Will he try and attack me again?" He didn't want to say no but Kenpachi was the scariest person he had ever met.
"Probably!" Yachiru answered as if it was a causal thing like the weather. Naruto hung his head. He really didn't like how she had said that.
"So will you come?" She bent over so her face was in front of Naruto's.
"I don't know…" And there it was the biggest puppy dog pout he had ever witnessed. At first his willpower was strong and he stood his ground but after a minute he couldn't take it any more.
"Fine I'll come."
"YAY!!!" Yachiru shouted and began dancing on top of Naruto's head. The people passing by had a look of sympathy for the poor boy.
Naruto gulped as he stood outside of the eleventh squad barracks. He had his zanpakuto strapped to his back, after telling Heisei where he was headed Heisei was more than happy to let Naruto take his zanpakuto. He had his blond hair in a pony tail for the occasion. He slowly walked to the front door where two squad eleven grunts stood guard, at first they tensed but when they spotted who it was they relaxed and instead gave him worried looks, one even patted him on the back as he walked by into the barracks.
"Big mouth-chan!!! "
"Oww! Ow! Ow! Ow!!!!!" Naruto wailed in pain as Yachiru grabbed his ponytail and began swinging back and forth. She was dressed in a pink kimono with a floral print.
"Ahhhh!!!!!" Naruto shouted as he ran around the squad eleven barracks with a battle hungry Kenpachi behind him. The dinner had gone well at first because Kenpachi was busy with something at the moment but when he came in and saw Naruto with his zanpakuto he thought it as a challenge and charged at him. Kenpachi sped past him and stood in his way. Naruto skidded to a halt and pulled out his zanpakuto.
"Hiraishin should I use my Shikai?! If I don't I'm dead meat!" Naruto thought franticly.
"Naruto if you can't think on your own then even if you use my powers you'll end up dead. I am here for you to use, not for me to tell you what to do. You should do what you think is best." Naruto looked at his opponent with a hard look. Yellow reiatsu began surging through his body and was visibly clear in the night. He held his zanpakuto at his side and his reiatsu surged even harder.
"Hiraishin!!!" Naruto shouted. Every eye in the area widened as in a small explosion of yellow reiatsu Naruto stood holding the Chinese war sword that was his Shikai.
"He's only in the third year and he already has his Shikai. What on earth are they feeding them at the academy?!" Yumichika said in disbelief.
"Whatever it is I want some!" Ikkaku said equally surprised as his friend. Kenpachi grinned like a maniac at the young Shinigami to be. Naruto charged at the giant captain with shocking speed and swung at his chest. Kenpachi brought up his blade just in time to block the attack making only a small cut on his chest as Naruto's sword slammed into it. Kenpachi swung his sword and threw Naruto back and charged at him instead. The two shinigami continued to exchange blows for about a half an hour before Naruto feel to the ground exhausted. Naruto was covered in minor to a large cut across his chest while Kenpachi had merely some small bruises and the small cut from the begging. Kenpachi hefted his sword on to his shoulder.
"Not bad kid, not bad at all. Against any other seated officer or maybe even a lieutenant you might have won but I'm still the top dog around here and until you beat me that's not gonna change. Ikkaku! Yumichika!" Kenpachi shouted. Said shinigaim appeared beside him.
"Take him to the fourth squad barracks now!" Kenpachi shouted at them.
"Hai, taicho!!" They shouted in unison before grabbing the wounded boy and running off towards there destination. As Kenpachi walked back into the barracks he had his infamous feral grin spread across his face.
"If he's that strong now, I can't wait for a rematch after he gets out of the academy." He said to his lieutenant who also was smiling from ear to ear.
"Yeah Ken-chan! You'll have so much fun when Big mouth-chan graduates!" Yachiru piped up. From the roof of a near by building a certain glasses wearing captain grinned with an evil intent.
"So Aizen-taicho, wha'ca think 'bout this one?" His lieutenant Gin Ichimaru asked, with his ever present grin.
"Oh I think he'll do just fine Gin… Yes he'll do just fine." Aizen grinned.
"Alright, listen up every one!!!" One Shuhei Hisagi shouted over the chatter of the gathered students on the academy roof, behind him were two men, one was very tall with a flat top hair style and the other had pitch black hair and eye's, he wore a pair of orange goggles on his head and had a tooth pick in his mouth and behind them was a sliding door. Naruto was practically bouncing with excitement. After the Kenpachi incident, his fame in the academy sky rocketed. No one from the academy who had ever had the misfortune to spare with the captain of the eleventh had never even gotten a hit on him let alone injure him. And if that was not enough, news of his Shikai spread like wildfire and he was automatically pumped to the top student of the academy after demonstrating it in front of the academy's head teacher's, including the captain of the second squad and captain of the fifth. And because of his activation of his Shikai the academy head teachers thought it would be a good idea to let there students use there zanpakuto's more instead of just in a blue moon, so that maybe more students would activate there's during test's.
"Alright every one today is your third year test from which you'll graduate to the fourth if you pass. I am Shuhei Hisagi, this is Koga and Obito Uchiha from tenth squad. Now for today's test we are going to be heading to the human world to hunt dummy hollows at an old factory." There was nervous whispering among the students.
"Don't worry Koga and I are very skilled and there will also be a group of sixth years guarding you as you take the test plus Obito-san here is the fifth seat of the tenth squad." That seemed to make the students calm down.
"Now all of you will be placed in teams of three…" Shuhei pulled out a list from his sleeve and began reading off names. Naruto wasn't really paying attention the whole time until Shuhei reached his name.
"Naruto Uzumaki, Choji Akimichi and Shikamaru Nara. Next team: Renji Abari, Momo Hinamori and Izuru Kira. Next is, Kiba Inuzuka, Neji Hyuga and Rock Lee. Next, Mahiko Sojiro, Kosuke Ishamishii and Keiko Nanako. Lastly Kimimaro Kaguya, Kidomaru and Jirobo. Ok that wraps up the team selection now every one make sure they've found there team and line up."
"Alight!" Naruto shouted as he patted Shikamaru on the back. "This is going to be a blast!"
"Tsk. Troublesome. If anything bad happens I'll probably have to get you out of it." Shikamaru smirked. Choji grinned as he stuffed his face with his favorite chips.
(The human world.)
"Hahaha! Come on Shikamaru, Choji. I'm ahead of you by five hollows!" Naruto shouted as he brought his zanpakuto down on top of a dummy hollow that resembled a gorilla. In an explosion the thing was destroyed with a grinning Naruto standing beside what was left of it. Shikamaru panted as he finally caught up with Naruto and Choji.
"You know Naruto there's really no point if you don't stay with your squad." Choji said gripping his zanpakuto in his left hand as he pulled a candy bar from his out fit.
"Sorry?" Naruto said sheepishly.
"Troublesome…" Shikmaru muttered. There's eyes widened in surprise as a foul reiatsu covered the area.
"That's a hollow's reaitsu, either it's one really big one or a ton of medium leveled ones." Shikamaru deduced.
"Let's go see what's up!" Naruto shouted as a scream ripped through the night air. The three arrived in the middle of the street just as Koga's body was sent sailing through a building.
"Koga! Ahhhh!" Shuhei shouted as one of the many hollows that were surrounding them slashed at his face leaving three long vertical lines on his face. Obito took in a large amount of air and then blew out causing a steam of red hot fire to shoot out at one of the hollow's, Naruto guessed this was his Shikai because he didn't use any incantations. Shuhei blocked a large hollows claw with his zanpakuto and shoved it back as did Momo, Renji and Izuru who were also trapped. Naruto and his squad ran up to them and joined there defensive circle.
"Not more students! Go on run!" Shuhei shouted.
"No thanks senpai!" Naruto said coolly.
"There's too many of them!" Izuru said as he continued to shake like a leaf.
"Bakudo 61: Rikujokoro(1)!!!" One of the hollows screamed in pain as six bars of light slammed into its mid section and held it in place. Neji, Lee and Kiba dropped down from. Kiba held out his sword and shouted.
"Hunt them down, Gaoh(2) (This Shikai idea belongs to ArmorOfGeddon, Thanks for letting me use it)!! The howl of a wolf echoed through out the area as the blade of the sword shot out of the hilt and formed into a large wolf. The wolf was a dark sliver almost the color of iron, and it had steel blue eyes. The wolf began to spin rapidly and rammed into a hollows spine and ripped straight through it. Every one's eyes widened in surprise.
"When did you get Shikai?!" Naruto shouted at Kiba as the rest of the group moved around to let the new comers in. Kiba looked pretty beat up but had a proud smirk on his face.
"We ran into some hollows on the way here and what can I say it kicked my ass. But thanks to Gaoh here I'm still alive." Kiba smirked. Neji moved over to Momo.
"Are you alright?" He asked. She smiled up at him.
"Hai, I'm fine Neji-kun." Shuhei looked around him. Even more hollows were starting to make there selves known.
"Great, all we have is three shikai and two of them probably barley even know how to use them to there full potential. We really need to get out of here."
"Shoot'em dead, Shinso!" A long beam of light shot forward and began slicing through the gathered hollows until there was none left. The group looked to there right to the captain of the fifth and his lieutenant.
"Aizen-taicho!!" Momo shouted in relief. He smiled his usual calm and warm smile as he walked up to the group of Shinigami.
"Is every one alright?" Aizen asked in his usual kind voice.
"Hai Aizen-taicho." Shuhei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good, then get all the injured to the fourth squad barracks." His smile grew wider. "All of you are going to be valuable to the Soul Society once you graduate and I'm sure you will." After that day the rest of the years at the academy seemed to fly by. During the year's Jiraiya came to Soul Society and gave him and the rest of the six an update on the war. Orochimaru was now dead thanks to Sasuke and the Akatsuki was at full war with Konohagakure, Sunagakure, Takigakure and Kusagakure. Most of the Akatsuki was now dead save their leader and a few other members but they had a new problem now. Otogakure was now ruled by Sasuke and in his power hungry state of mind he declared war on Konoha to gather as many powerful jutsu as he could to kill Itachi.
Finally the day Naruto was waiting for: Graduation day. They had passed the test with great ease and he was now in a large room with the rest of the graduates. In front of them was a long table with thirteen chairs. One by one the captains filled into the room and took a seat. Yamamoto sat in the chair in the middle and looked out to the graduates.
"Congratulations all of you for making it here today. Now we shall start sorting you into the squad you would be best in." Yamamoto stood up and took a clip board from Heisei who was standing behind him. An hour passed and most of the students were placed into squad's. Kiba was placed into the seventh squad along with Jirobo. Shikamaru was placed into the eighth squad. Choji and Kidomaru were placed into the tenth squad. Kimimaro was placed into the twelfth squad. Lee was placed in the eleventh and Neji in the sixth. Naruto was the only one left. Captain Yamamoto looked at the sheet in front of him and smiled as he read Naruto's file.
"Well mister Uzuamki you are the last one left. After reading your file I am very pleased to say that you have exceeded expectations for some who is not from a noble family and I can place you in the first squad which is very rare for those who are fresh out of the academy. So…" But the elder captain was cut off as Naruto raised his hand. The old captain nodded his head as to tell him to go on.
"Thank you Yamamoto-taicho. I'm highly honored to be chosen to be placed in the first squad but I was wondering if I could perhaps be placed in the thirteenth squad." This caused a few eye brows to be raised from the group of captains and a smile on the face of captain Ukitake.
"And if I may ask, why do you wish to be placed in the thirteenth squad?" The elder captain asked.
"I have heard many good things about the squad and its powerful captain and also a friend of mine is in the squad and I have not seen her for some time." Naruto explained. Byakuya gave Naruto a small glare before turning back into his usual stoic expression.
"And who is this friend of yours?" The Kuchiki clan head asked. Naruto looked over towards the captain of the sixth.
"Rukia Kuchiki."
"Ah Rukia, she is very good soldier and very loyal one at that." Jushiro said as he smiled at Naruto.
"Do you have any objections Ukitake-taicho?" Yamamoto asked. The white haired captain shook his head and smiled.
"Very well. Naruto Uzumaki do you swear to fulfill the orders and task's given to you by your squad?" The old captain asked
"Hai!"
"Do you promise to always give your best for the Soul Society and help to rid the world of all hollows until the day you die?"
"Hai!" Naruto said again with pure determination in his eyes. The old captain walked over to Naruto and handed him the insignia of the thirteenth squad which was a Summer Snowflake flower and a Shinigami outfit. Naruto beamed up at the old captain with his foxy grin.
"Then you are now Naruto Uzumaki of the Thirteenth squad!"
