Chapter 4: Invasion I: Confrontation
It's been a while, but here's part 1 of the Invasion Arc!
Hidden Leaf Village
"...and that's what happened," Kankuro told Lady Tsunade.
The Fifth Hokage looked at Kankuro's scroll given to him by Gaara. It explained about the Akatsuki and its whereabouts, but had not mentioned about the two Sand's ANBU Black Ops deaths. Gaara did not need to write that, even Tsunade knew right away.
"They may already be killed," Tsunade said.
Kankuro groaned in disbelief.
"I won't allow something like this to happen, Kankuro, I shall send Naruto to the Sand and he'll be informed there," Tsunade said with authority.
Kankuro bowed to her, "Thank you, ma'am."
As he was turning around, Naruto came right through the door and crashed into Kankuro.
Tsunade groaned as Bowser and Sakura.
"Naruto, slow down!" Sakura said as she hit him on the head.
Naruto just rubbed his head and looked at Tsunade.
"Grandma Tsunade! What happened to Gaara?!" Naruto yelled angrily.
Tsunade picked up a book and threw it at Naruto, hitting him in the face.
"How many times have I told you never call me that?!" She replied, angrily.
There was dead silence.
"Gaara is fine, Naruto. The Akatsuki was spotted near the Sand Village. Surprisingly, they didn't made any advancements towards the village," Tsunade explained.
Naruto was confused, "What were they doing there?"
"...Unless..."
Naruto, Bowser, Sakura and Tsunade looked at Kankuro.
"Unless what?" Sakura asked.
"The Demon's Portal."
Everyone's eyes widen.
"The Demon's Portal?" Naruto asked.
Kankuro nodded, "Yes, Naruto. The Demon's Portal was told in the Sand Village Legends that there was this statue that formed two hand guns was one of two other portals in this world that connect to another world."
"They serve as a bipolar gate or a door between this world and the other?" Sakura asked.
"Exactly!" Kankuro replied.
"That makes sense," Bowser said, "I've heard many ideas about this, but yours works from a logical standpoint."
"What other ideas have there been, Bowser?" Tsunade asked.
"There is a legend passed down in the Hidden Leaf Village about something called the 'Gate of the Unknown.' Some say that is the second portal in this world, along with the Demon's Portal in the Sand Village," Bowser replied.
"Go on, Bowser," Sakura said.
Bowser took a deep breath and began to speak about the Gate of the Unknown.
Soul Society-Rukongai District 5
"So, this is the Soul Society?" Kisame asked.
Kisame, along with Itachi and Morpheus had finally arrived at their destination a few minutes ago. They quickly came out of the Gateway Portal and assume their Soul Reaper disguises.
It was working, on their part. They had not been detected... yet.
Kisame looked around and notice the place resembled ancient Japan. The buildings were much different from those back in their world.
"Kind of looks like an ancient city or something," Kisame said.
Itachi nodded, "Do not forget our mission, Kisame."
"Grab the Flamberge and Vorpal Swords and capture this Ichigo person. I know. Where do we start?"
Itachi pointed at the wall near them.
"We infiltrate the center part of the Soul Society- the Seireitei," Itachi said.
Kisame nodded.
The two turned to see Morpheus looking at something. His silver eyes closed narrowly.
"Morpheus, what's wrong?" Itachi asked.
Morpheus pointed straight ahead of him, "WARNING!"
Itachi and Kisame turned and notice a red-haired man in the same Soul Reaper outfit as the Akatsuki Trio's disguises. He also was wearing a white headband that was covering the tattoos on his head.
"Three people wearing a Shihakushô? I never seen you guys here before," the red-haired man said.
The tree looked at the man.
"Who are you? Identify yourselves!"
Kisame glared at the man, "Itachi, who is this guy? He's annoying me!"
Itachi turned his head a bit to Kisame, then back to the man.
"Sorry, people need not introduce themselves to a dog," Itachi said.
The red-haired man looked agitated, "What did you say?! You looking for a fight!?"
Kisame smiled, "If that's what you want!"
Kisame reached behind him and pulled out his sword.
"You will feel the power of my Samehada, (Shark Skin) pal!"
"Your zanpakuto will be no match against Zabimaru!" The red-haired man yelled.
"This is no zanpakuto, Red! My friend here--" Kisame pointed at Morpheus, "--has a, what you call 'zanpakuto'!"
The man just scoffed.
"By the way, allow me to introduce myself!" Kisame said, pointing his sword at the Red-haired man, "I am Kisame Hoshigaki! What's your name?"
The man smiled, "Strange, your friend said he introduce himself to me."
"Then, I'll just beat it out of you!"
Just before Kisame was about to attack, Morpheus' hand appeared in front of him.
"What is it, Morpheus?" Kisame asked.
The red-haired man looked perplexed, 'Morpheus? Isn't he that--?'
"Wait, Mr. Kisame," Morpheus said.
Morpheus took a step forward and stared at the Shinigami in front of them.
"SCAN INITIALIZED! RED HAIR DETECTED! SOUL REAPER ATTIRE DETECTED! LEVEL 5 TATTOO DETECTED!" Morpheus said in a robotic voice.
Kisame looked at Itachi.
Itachi's eyes were focused on Morpheus as he kept his attention on their opponent.
"INCREDIBLE. POSSIBLE SUBJECT IDENTIFICATION. HOWEVER, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE. HOLD YOUR POSITION. SEARCHING DATA BANKS..."
The man looked puzzled at the man's covered face. Morpheus' eyes turned white as he looked around his surroundings. He suddenly looked at the red-haired man again. His white eyes turned back to silver.
Kisame and Itachi kept their eyes on Morpheus.
"SEARCH COMPLETE: ONE POSITIVE MATCH. SYSTEM OVERLOAD! SOUL REAPER VICE-CAPTAIN IDENTIFIED!"
The two Akatsuki members stared at the man again.
"He's a Vice-Captain?" Kisame asked.
"That's right, I'm the Vice-Captain of the Sixth Division, Renji Abarai!" the red-haired man introduced himself, "The man who's gonna to beat you! Nice to meet you!"
Kisame smiled, "Let me reintroduce myself! I am Kisame Hoshigaki, the man who is going to destroy you! Nice to meet you!"
The two men, swords drawn, then charged forward. Itachi and Morpheus stood back and watched.
The Invasion of the Soul Society...has begun.
