Naruto stared at the man Rukia had just introduced him too. The man was her captain, Ukitake Jūshirō who appeared to be no older than 40, yet had white hair, and kind green eyes. He had listened attentively and carefully as Naruto and Rukia explained what had been going on and how they met.
"So you and Rukia had met before?"
"Hai."
"Why did you not tell me earlier Rukia?"
"Sorry Captain Ukitake, but I made a promise not to tell anyone." Rukia said looking down.
Jūshirō nodded in understanding.
"So…" Naruto said awkwardly scratching his head, "Umm… Are you going to turn me in, or bring me to your leader or something?"
"Yes."Naruto face faulted slightly, "But…"
"But what?"
"I will not tell the part of your story in how you were caught or Rukia's involvement."
"How are you going to explain how I was caught then!" Naruto inquired.
"I am going to say some of my squad found you weakened from your fight with Captain Zaraki, and you surrendered after we said we only wanted to talk."
"So basically we are telling the half-truth."
"Yes."
Naruto smirked, "I have just come to the conclusion that you are one of the most awesome people I have ever met."
"Thank you." Jūshirō laughed good naturally his expression then turned serious, "If worse comes to worse I will vouch for you. You seem to be telling the truth, and you also don't seem to be the lying type."
Naruto blinked then slowly a smile spread across his face, "Thanks, Jūshirō! So turn me in now!... I never thought I would hear myself ever say that."
In the background Rukia gaped at the scene Naruto was one of the most disrespecting people she had ever met… next to Ichigo of course.
Xx One explanation later xX
"So let me get this straight." Naruto said putting a hand on his chin, "First there is a guy named Aizen who attacked this place- the Seireitei-and pretty much left it in ruins…"
All of the captains gave him a small terse nod.
"Second you are saying that the shinobi died out around 2000 years ago."
Yamamoto gave Naruto another nod.
"And lastly you want me to help you after you sent all those troops after me, AND marked me!" he pointed at his chest giving Soifon a pointed look, "AND tried to kill me!"
Again Yamamoto nodded.
"You have got to be kidding me…" Naruto sighed running his hand through his hair. "… How did the shinobi die out anyway?"
"That information is unknown." Yamamoto stated, "There are no exact historic dates saved."
Naruto's eyebrows creased slightly, "But I just came from a time with shinobi."
"Yes, but you say a light transported you here yes?"
"Yess."
"Perhaps that light was a portal to the future."
Naruto's eyes widened at the plausible theory, "That has happened before…" Naruto shuddered at the memory. "Do you know who may have made the portal?"
Yamamoto just stared back at Naruto expectantly.
"It was Aizen… wasn't it?"
"Hai, I do believe so."
" Alright then." Naruto said looking directly at the Captain Commander, "I'll help. I have dealt with people like Aizen before and his kind of scum don't deserve to live."
Also I need to find out how the shinobi died out and prevent it from happening.
Yamamoto nodded.
"But…." All the captains eyes narrowed not liking the sound of the 'but,' "I refuse to take orders from you guys."
"What."
"I said, I refuse to take orders from you guys." Naruto repeated, the explained, "I'll help, but I will not take orders from any of you, cause I like my independence, and I am not too comfprtable around to many shinigami."
Yamamoto nodded tersely not that happy with Naruto's announcement, but he didn't want to lose this very powerful ally. "Very well Uzumaki."
The majority of the captains looked at him shocked.
"If that is what you think, I believe it would be better for both of our sides if you moved to the world of the living."
"World of the living?" Naruto asked confused.
"Hai."
"Why?"
"There is a young man, a substitute shinigami known as Kurosaki Ichigo."
"Strawberry!" Naruto chuckled, "His name is Strawberry?"
"Yes, and as I was saying Uzumaki, Kurosaki is powerful, but needs to be contained."
"Contained?"
"The Soul Society wishes to keep tabs on Kurosaki he is vital weapon in defeating Aizen."
Naruto tensed slightly at the word weapon…
"As I said I will not be taking orders from you guys." Naruto said lowly keeping his anger in check. He hated being called a weapon, and it pissed him off even more when someone else was being called one.
"Hai, but we only wish for you to keep an eye on Kurosaki, it benefits you because when you are in the World of the Living you are free to to whatever you wish."
Naruto stared at Yamamoto for a while longer before smirking.
"Well I suppose the World of the Living would be a better place to be in than the World of the Dead."
Rukia also said her friends name was Strawberry errr I mean Ichigo, so this will also be doing a favor to her. Naruto thought he owed her a favor, and keeping tabs on her friend was a good way to pay off his debt.
"So when will I be going?"
"In three days." Yamamoto said, "I will later send someone explain the situation to you better."
"Hai."
A heavy silence was met after Naruto spoke making him shift uncomfortably.
Naruto scratched the back of his head nervously, "Errr…. So do I leave the room now or what?"
"Yes, you are dismissed Uzumaki."
"Thanks," Naruto said waving awkwardly then promptly exiting.
"This meeting is ad-"
"WAIT!" Naruto yelled running back through the door.
"What is it Uzumaki?"
"The tattoo of death is still embedded in my chest!" Naruto yelled than pointed at Soifon, "You still need to make it go disappear… Wait it is removable right!"
"Hai."
"…" Naruto waited looking at his still very butterfly chest, "Ummm, can you remove it please."
Yamamoto nodded at Soifon who unwillingly willed the mark to disappear.
"Ahhhhhhhh." Naruto sighed looking at his now very not tattooed chest, "That's better… So bye again!"
This time almost everyone in the room sweat dropped.
How in the name of Yoruichi-sama did I lose to him? Soifon internally growled.
Jūshirō and his closes friend, Kyōraku Shunsui watched Naruto leave both of them thinking the same thing.
You never change do you Naruto?
Xx
Yoruichi watched the shinobi leave the barracks, she had seen and heard everything from the shinobi's fight with Kenpachi to the meeting.
So this is a shinobi… Yoruichi thought her cat like yellow eyes narrowing, interesting…
Yoruichi followed Naruto keeping a suitable distance between them, her paws not making a sound.
"Meow."
Naruto turned in surprise he did not sense the cat's presence which confused him, even when he was not fully alert he should be able to sense everything around him.
"Hello there little one." Naruto smiled going down onto one knee, "Come here kitty, I am alright with cats as long as they do not belong to a noble lady, and do not have bows around there neck."
Naruto laughed if a cat could raise eyebrow's he was sure that was exactly what the black cat would be doing, even so the cat walked up to him purring.
"You're a good cat aren't you?" Naruto asked while scratching the cat's ears being rewarded with a purr from the feline. "Alright I have to go now." Naruto smiled giving the feline a final scratch.
"Meow."
"If I didn't know better I would say you are trying to say bye to me too." Naruto chuckled now standing up.
"If I wanted to say good bye I would do it this way." A deep voice simply said.
"Eh?" Naruto blinked then stared back down at the cat, "Was it you that just said that?"
"Yes."
Naruto stared down at the cat before smiling, "Even in the future they have talking animals… You wouldn't happen to know any talking toads?"
"Umm… no."
"Well then Mr. Cat the names Uzumaki Naruto, what's your name?"
"Yoruichi."
"Nice name." Naruto smiled, "Well then see you around Yoruichi."
Yoruichi watched Naruto's retreating figure, Uzumaki Naruto huh… Why does that name sound so familiar?
Xx
"So Shunsui," Jūshirō smiled taking a sip of his tea, "How do you feel about seeing Naruto again?"
"Of course." Shunsui smirked gulping down sake, "It will be nice to be able to have a drink with him again."
Jūshirō chuckled, "If I remember correctly last time you two had a drink a whole section of the barracks had been destroyed."
Shunsui smirked at the memory, "If you do remember correctly you would know it wasn't our entire fault. Sasuke had something to do with it too."
"Oh yes I do remember that." Jūshirō smiled sadly, "It is too bad we have to pretend we do not know him."
Shunsui sighed nodding in agreement, "Him coming here might change the course of history."
"Hai," Jūshirō sighed, "Once he finds out what had happened to end the shinobi he will stop it."
"Let's just hope he doesn't awaken his Zanpakutō that would be very bad." Shunsui said taking another gulp of sake.
Jūshirō nodded solemnly in agreement, "If his Zanpakutō awakens it will cause confusion."
"And if it does awaken history will change even more…" Shunsui sighed.
"Even so I can't help but feel guilty that we are keeping such a big secret from him."
"I know Jūshirō." Shunsui sighed again, "I want to help him too, but Naruto is Naruto, even if we do not tell him, he'll eventually find out.
"Let us pray that he will not find out just yet then."
Xx
"Are you sure you aren't coming down with something?"
"Nah." Naruto sniffed wiping his nose on his sleeve, "Probably allergies or something. No need to worry about me Rukia."
"You have pretty bad allergies you have been sneezing almost nonstop."
"Yeah well it will take much more than allergies to slow me down." Naruto smirked making a pose. "So as I was saying." Naruto said shifting back down into a sitting position, "I am going to go to the World of the Living, my 'assignment' is to keep tabs on your friend."
"Ichigo!"
"Yep." Naruto smirked, "I can now say I have had to keep an eye on a strawberry for someone."
Rukia smiled at the joke. "Seems as if I am not the only one to make fun of Ichigo's name."
Naruto laughed, then smirked his eyes gleaming mischievously, "Don't worry Rukia I will make sure to keep a careful watch on your boyfriend."
"Than-" Rukia's eyes twitched realizing what Naruto had just said, "HE'S NOT MY BOYFRIEND!"
"Righhhht. I am sure he isn't Ōgoe de mizetto (Loud Midget)."
"HE ISN"T AND I AM NOT A MIDGET!"
Short Belated Christmas present sorry ya'll… But don't worry next chapter will be longer.
