Chapter 4 End of Conflict

The three Caomhnóirí were having trouble fighting the reinforcements that Mayuri Kurotsuchi, Kisuke's lieutenant, had called for. The problem wasn't the ordinary ninja who had come at first. Wile they had been far more powerful than the ordinary ninja the three Caomhnóirí had previously encountered they were still easy to defeat. Well for Gin and Itachi to fend off wile AC engaged Kisuke. Fighting him with his own zanpakto. He had been driving Kisuke into a corner because of the seemingly random way he fought, he hadn't be completely controlling the fight Kisuke had got in a few blows and on top of that he was starting to figure out how to fight AC on equal terms. Then the problem arrived, two more fighters of Kisukes level, two more captains. Namely Ichigo Kurosaki and Byakuya Kuchiki. Both were wearing similar cloths to Kisuke, but the words on their haori were different. Ichgo's had the word 'MAROON' and Byakuya's had the word 'SHIELD' on them.

"Cap we have a bit of a problem. Look who else has come to say hello."

"I thought this was a world that ran parallel to my own not yours."

"So did I what's with all the familiar faces cap?"

"How the hell would I know? We just got here remember?" As AC said this Kisuke took an opening and slashed at his leg. As he did to his surprise he actually made contact with AC's leg and the wound that he left was deep enough you could see the bone in his leg. the blood seeping from the wound stained his pants scarlet below the knee. "AAAAAH FUUUCK! That hurts!" AC yelled at the top of his voice. Then something happened that surprised all of the non Caomhnóirí. The gash in his leg closed its self. It healed faster than even their Kage did. AC shook his leg, "That's much better! Now then, where were we?"

"How did you do that?" said Kisuke slashing at AC again. AC dodged and jumped back, as he did so he slashed Benihime and shouted, "Scream Benihime!" as he did this a crimson arc blasted from the blade. Kisuke only just managed to dodge the strike in time, wile doing so he was forced to retreat back to his two comrades.

"How about this I'll tell you about the healing if you tell us what your role is in this world?"

"We don't negotiate with people who attack our home. Or those that fought along side Aizen!" shouted Ichigo drawing his sword. Then he charged. As he got to the three Caomhnóirí, Itachi moved in front of Gin, but the motion he used seemed extremely slow and deliberate as he raised his sword and blocked Ichigo's longer sword almost lazily. When the blades met it send out a shock wave of air that would have knocked a normal person off their feet. Itachi pushed Ichigo back with apparent ease. It was at this point that Itachi activated his Sharigan.

"I thought the Uchiha where wiped out the last one being Sasuke Uchiha. How do you have those eyes? Are you Itachi?"

"Interesting you know who I am. Sasuke is still alive here? That is very good. Captain before we leave may I visit my foolish brother?"

"Why not? Gin, Itachi we need to stop this idiotic battle." As AC said this the clone of Naruto appeared behind Gin holding Yuki, then the entire palace shook.

"Naruto what happened?"

"I kinda ran into my-self. But he wasn't quite me his eyes. His eyes looked so sad, but filled with immense power. AC he had the Rinnegan. How the hell did he get that Kurama can't even figure it out." Then as Ichigo and Itachi were about to clash again something largish and black blasted through the wall and crashed into Ichigo. The momentum didn't stop and the two crashed into the opposing wall. Then Naruto in his full nine-tails cloak appeared next to AC.

"Did I get him?" asked Naruto already forming a rasengan in his right hand.

"Get who?"

"That... That other me."

"Why did you attack him? You bloody moron!"

"He drew his sword first."

"Ah. You are still a dumbass."

"Lord Kage?" said Byakuya, his face showing the tiniest amount of surprise. Then he vanished and reappeared next to Ichigo and the now identified Kage Naruto. The native Naruto stood up holding his sword, "Get out of my way! I have to deal with that impostor!"

"I'm no IMPOSTOR!" Roared the traveling Naruto who then vanished in an orange flash. He reappeared in front of the other Naruto and rammed him in the stomach with the rasengan in his right hand. However all he hit was a shadow clone who vanished into smoke. The native Naruto reappeared behind Naruto and slashed at his back. Then something happened that no-one saw coming, except the Caomhnóirí and they only barely saw a flicker. AC stopped the strange version of Tensa Zangetsu with Benihime and redirected the chakra arm that was extending towards the other Naruto with what looked like the arm of a Susanoo, but they only saw it for a second and AC grabbed the traveling Naruto's arm before he could elbow AC in the face. Everyone looked semi shocked as there was for a few seconds an almost ghostly version of AC still standing next to Gin.

"Damn I really wanted to avoid using my speed. If you two had continued what do you morons think Yuki would learn? Do you two want your daughter to think that it's fine to always attack the second she sees something unusual or different? She will become the type of person you despise!" AC shouted at the two Narutos, "And because of the concussive waves you two create when you fight you've hurt Yuki!" AC pointed at Yuki who was now being held by Gin and from where they were standing it looked like she had hit her head hard enough to draw blood.

"YUKI!" in an instant Naruto was at her side and took her from Gin. As her cradled her in his arms he started thinking straight again, "Where is the closest hospital?" he yelled at the other Naruto who had just dropped his sword in shock. He shook his head seemingly clearing his head.

"I'll take her I can get there quicker than you as I know where it is. I'm so sorry. Let me do this one thing." said the native Naruto almost in desperation.

"Take us both."

"You can't fly I'll take her and go on ahead Byakuya will show you to the hospital. They should let you in as you look like me." At this the native Naruto tenderly took Yuki from Naruto's arms, he then crouched and jumped into the air stopping as he got above the palace then he shot off towards the east.

"Byakuya take him there now."

"I will do follow me." Byakuya turned and started walking to wards the entrance and Naruto followed hastily.

This chapter was hard to write and I'm not super happy with the end result, but it did turn out rather well.

There is an explanation behind AC's speed. I would also like to say that AC's power isn't because he is a genius at combat or using Zanpakto. There are limits to what he can do with the Zanpakto that aren't his, for example Benihime he can't control her full power or even access all her abilities. And it took AC over five thousand years to get as fast as he is. His way of getting power is closer to Rock Lee's then that of Sasuke. There is one more thing that will be explained in the next chapter regarding Gin and Itachi as well as how and why they are Caomhnóirís.

ACSkywalker out!
