Ignisha: New chapter, go!
The Pacifist Arrancar
Soul Three: The Meeting
A day already passed when Yoruichi decided to let Ichigo rest. She then directed him to a clearing where there was spring for people to rest in.
When they reached it, however, they noticed something off.
First of all, there was already a black Hakama folded neatly on a nearby rock. Tensing, they approached the spring and shocked as there was a man there, someone Ichigo didn't recognize, but someone Yoruichi did.
It was the same man who claimed to have waited to meet Rukia for almost a hundred years.
"It's..."
"A Hollow!" Ichigo yelled, recognizing the Hollow hole and grabbing Zangetsu, leaping towards the blonde man.
"W-wait! Ichigo!"
Ichigo roared as he waved his Zanpaktou towards the man, only to shock as his blade clanged with another blade. He gritted his teeth and jumped back.
The man opened his eyes to show crimson, only to let it go back to blue, as he stood up. Ichigo took that as a stance to battle and attacked again. The man only lifted his hand and pointed at Ichigo.
"Siendo el Numero Sesenta y Siete (Way of Motionless #67)... Bares de Inmovil (Six Bars of Immobility)..."
Suddenly, six white bars stuck themselves onto Ichigo's stomach, making him immovable.
"What the! Th-this is... This is Kido!"
"Impossible! How can a Hollow learn Kido!"
"'Cause it's not Kido, what else?" The man said.
"What?"
"It's not Kido, its Forma (Null Way), something I invented for Hollows, or more specifically, Arrancars, to use... Though I'm not planning to teach them yet, and not for a long time..." The male admitted. "It's similar to Kido, but it's not Kido. The one I just used was a Siendo spell, the Way of Motionless."
Ichigo struggled. "Dammit, let go of me so I can kill you!"
"Not the most inviting way to let you go... So no thanks..." The Hollow said. "And besides, I don't wanna fight..."
Yoruichi narrowed her eyes. "Then what do you want...?"
The Hollow stared at Yoruichi. He looked up, scratched his head, checked out the number of possibilities he went over, then scratched his head again, looking at the man- (ahem, Shinigami) -made sky. He then looked back at Yoruichi.
"I... uh... I dunno..."
Ichigo twitched his eyes as Yoruichi sweat-dropped.
"To be completely honest, I stumbled here by accident a few decades ago. Never really meant to infiltrate Soul Society, but I just did, and before I could go back outside, I stumbled in here... Since then, I've used this place as a board of operations, a place to go if I ever wanted to visit Soul Society. So yeah, see? Just an accident...! Though I use this place now for my personal needs, ahehehe..." The Hollow chuckled.
Yoruichi slapped her head.
"Anyway, I won't be any trouble! I don't wanna fight, and I don't want any blood spilled!" He shouted, before stopping and thinking. "Okay, that was the first time I heard myself saying that, and even I have to say... It's kinda weird hearing a Hollow say that, right...?"
"No damn it does!" Ichigo yelled.
The Hollow glanced at Ichigo, before chuckling, then laughing.
"What the hell's so funny!"
"Ahahaha! N-no, i-it's just that! Hahaha, ah, dammit... if Sakura-chan and Sasuke ever saw this, they would've been filled with nostalgia! Ahahaha, geez, you're just the way I was when I was alive! Ahahaha!"
"Don't compare me with you, you creep!"
"Now is that any way to say 'Let go of me' in front of your captor?" The Hollow asked if it was an everyday thing. Ichigo flushed red in anger. Yoruichi, on the other hand, raised a brow.
"You remember your past life?"
The Hollow glanced at Yoruichi. "Remember? Hell, I can still feel the taste of the last ramen I had before I died! Ahh... good sweet ramen... Even after death, you're still the most awesomest food ever!" He said, drool coming out of his mouth.
Ichigo and Yoruichi glanced at each other in confusion.
"Anyway!"
The two shocked at the speed the Hollow switched gears.
"The name's Uzumaki Naruto, you two better memorize that! (Yeah... I'm gonna be putting a lot of different references...)"
Yoruichi blinked.
"Or, you might recognize me more as... the Gran Zorro (Fox King)..." The Hollow said, now recognizing himself as the strongest non-Menos class Hollow of all Hollows, his eyes glowing red.
Yoruichi shocked, her eyes widening, as she stared at the most powerful Hollow in all existence, being able to be at par with the Soutaichou.
"Now then, since I introduced myself, how about you two introduce yourselves?"
"Uhh..."
"Ah! Dammit, stupid brain. Forgot to release ya..."
Then, with a snap of a finger, Ichigo was released from his prison.
Yoruichi helped Ichigo up as Naruto smiled.
(Later...)
"So... in other words, this guy, who calls himself 'Gran Zorro', is going to help us save Rukia, and since he's old 'pals' with Soutaichou, he'll be able to hold off many of the Taichou's while we save Rukia...?"
Renji asked, his eyes twitching as Ichigo nodded in affirmation, Naruto grinning.
"Well, that pretty much sums it up..." Yoruichi commented.
"Well, that is the most... RIDICULOUS THING I'VE EVER HEARD!" Renji yelled, overturning a table that just recently popped out of nowhere.
"H-hey! That was a special edition, I'll have you know!" Naruto yelled, grabbing the table before it chipped.
"Wow... I'm having a sense of déjà vu here..." Ichigo thought.
Yoruichi slapped her head again, wondering if this was a good plan or not.
(Meanwhile...)
Yamamoto, the Soutaichou, read a report as he sat on his chair in the First Division barracks. So far, he read about how his student, Kyouraku, has captured one of the Ryouka, the large tanned one, apparently.
As he was about to read the next report, the doors opened and a figure walked in.
Yamamoto opened his aged eyes to stare at the retired Shinigami in front of him.
"So... you came... Uchiha Sasuke..."
Onyx eyes stared back as Uchiha Sasuke let out a small grin.
"Of course I came..." He said. "Why would I miss a reunion with my brother?"
Ingisha: *GASP*! Sasuke's in town! What's gonna happen! Will Renji accept Naruto into the team? Will Rukia really be rescued? And will Seireitei be safe with the ultimate prankster in town! Find out, in the next chapter! XD
