Author's Note: I know it's been awhile, but a new chapter! I was on vacation, but that was only 5 days long. I just got back, but... the what, two weeks before my vacation when I could've updated? I didn't even have summer school or tennis! I'm sorry. Gomen nasai.
Pickle posh. Don't you get it? Bleach and Naruto are not mine! Go hug Tite Kubo and Masashi Kishimoto for them. :)
Spell Check would not work on Microsoft Word, so I used the one on fanfiction, which is kind of irritating to me. If there are any mistakes, feel free to tell me. I hate spelling and grammar mistakes.
Also thanks to eternal-uchiha and blackberri for the reviews! You get thee extended offer on a piece of Gaara! ;D Also, blackberri, thanks for reading even if you don't know Bleach. If you need some help, let me know. :)
"Well, Kisuke, you should know that your punishment will be great for this, but since you need to work on a way to get the others back, we will send in someone to supervise you," Head Captain Yamamoto said to Urahara as they all—the ninjas and soul reapers-- stood in the hall of squad one's head building. The old man turned to his lieutenant, Sasakibe, and said "Please go fetch Mayuri-taichou and Nemu, too, I suppose, and request that they both come to see me, immediately." Sasakibe nodded and shun-poed away.
"I apologize again for the many troubles this causes, Head-Captain." Kisuke Urahara bowed to the captain. "But may I suggest you use these trained ninjas in the mean time? I'm sorry to say, but it may take a long time to get Ichigo and the others back due to time differences between the worlds."
The head captain sat and thought out the many possiblities. The Soul Socitey was now responsible for whatever happens to these ninjas now, and if they died or vanished, it could start a war of worlds. It was a risk to take.
"I know that it sounds like it may cause many problems in the end, especially if they are harmed in any way, but they are trained to handle hostle situations. It would be very helpful to see how the arrancar respond to a new way of attacking. They don't use zanpakuto, but instead, use the body's chakra. I believe it will cause Aizen and the others many problems." Kisuke explained. "At least give them a chance. You might send a captain to watch over them, if you wanted."
"I'm at a shortage of captains right now, Kisuke, and the last available one must go and watch over you. I do have Ukitake, but he cannot leave his room. His sickness has taken to the worse, again. I'm not sure if I can feel comfortable enough knowing these ninjas will take over the duties of a soul reaper without a soul reaper to advise them. If I were able to—"
"All this talk and no action! It's killing me! All right old man, listen up," Naruto pointed straight at Head Captain Yamamoto as he yelled. "We are strong ninjas who don't need no babysitter captains to get the job done. Our leader is Kakashi-sensei. He tells us when it's too dangerous or not. We also got Granny Tsunade, who assigns us the missions. She knows our strengths and weaknesses as well. If we die, you tell our village it was our fault—that we knew what we were getting ourselves into. Now, if you're done blabbering away, I'd like to go fight those arrancars to show them the strength of the future Hokage! I'm--" He was cut off by Sakura covering his mouth with her hand.
"I'm sorry he spoke to you in such a way, Head Captain."
The Head Captain just stared, He was never spoken to in such a impolite way. "You already know of the arrancars?" he asked.
"To an extent," replied Kakashi. "Mr. Urahara informed us of them and the rest of the soul soctiey. We pretty much understand what soul reaper does. I think we can handle this on our own."
"I see." The Head Captain sat and thought about it for awhile. No one said a word as he did. I do need some extra fighters, and if they already know about arracars and hollows then—but it also could be lots of trouble if they did die. We can't go battling another universe over it. The again, if Urahara felt that he needed to explain the soul society to them, he must have thought that they would be capable of battling arrancars. He must have this all planned out. "All right. You may go and forfill the duties of a soul reaper, but, I do request that you take three days worth of schooling in the Soul Reaper Academy. I know that you knowthe basics of hollows and arrancars, but you need to battle a few to fully understand. The Academy had many test dummies of such creatures and it will be highly beneficial to you all if you at least get that in."
"SCHOOL?" shouted Naruto. "I can't go there! I HATE it! Tests and failing. That's all I need to know that it's not worth it!"
"If you refuse, I will have no choice but to put you in confinement. You will stay in one room with whatever privileges that room gives. I cannot have ninjas running around the Seireitei having fun when the rest of my officers are busy at work."
"We'll take it," said Kakashi. "Don't mind Naruto, he's never been one for school, but I think he can handle three days."
"Good, then I will get you an escort to the Academy."
The door to the hallway opened and in came two people plus Yamamoto's lieutenant.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't Kisuke Urahara, my good, old friend," said a man with a very creepy, joker-like voice, "Long time no see. What trouble did you get into this time?" The man laughed. The woman beside him held no expression and didn't say a word.
Urahara flinched as he turned around to see Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the captain of twelfth division and head of research and development—his old job. He also saw Mayuri's doll—would be the appropriate word—Nemu, standing next to him, silent as always.
"Mayuri-taichou, you will be overseeing Urahara on his task to bring back the substitute, two captains—Hitsugaya-taichou and Kuchiki-taichou—, squad six's lietenant, Rukia Kuchiki from squad 13, and a seated officer from squad four, back from another world" ordered Yamamoto.
"Well Kisuke, you proved to be dumber than me once again by losing that many people? Your lucky Head Captain Yamamoto is so nice. I would have ordered your execution!" He laughed a creepy laugh again.
"Now, Kisuke, I suggest you get back to the world of the living and get to work on bringing the others back."
"Yes, Head Captain Yamamoto." He bowed again and started walking out. "Good luck to you all, ninjas." He smiled and waved at them. "You'll be fine. Call me on this if things get tricky." He handed Kakashi one of the trackers he stuck on Hanataro. It was green this time, though, instead of white. "All you have to do is talk into it while holding it in your hand. I'll get your message." He was then out the door.
"Damn that Kisuke! I'm in charge of him and he walks away!" shouted Mayuri. He stormed out of the room, Nemu following him. "Walk faster Nemu, you dunce! We'll lose track of him and it will be your fault!"
"Sasakibe," Yamamoto said to his lieutenant. "Go see if either of these four are available for soul reaper academy teaching." He handed him a list of the four names he had in mind.
"Yes, sir." He shun-poed away, list in hand.
Author's Note Part 2: Story ALERT!: If you would be interested in a love story about Hitsugaya and Rukia, please check out Kimihaine's stories, White Ice and Bonds of Blood. They are very good. I read them, and she made me hate Hinamori. So, it they MUST be very convincing. ;D Also, she has some one shots going on called Thousand Years of Snow. The first one is an interview and it's very funny. CURTAINS! (Don't ask, go read, silly!)
Thank you for your time, and please review.
