(In Naruto's apartment)

Everyone was in a somber mood. Ikkaku was injured possibly the worst, with Renji, Naruto, and Toshiro coming out with the worst wounds after that. Yamichika didn't have any wounds really, Rangiku walked away with only minor scars. Haku had managed to patch them all up, but it didn't matter.

Naruto stood up and began to walk away. He walked out the house before slamming the door. Haku sighed before looking at the door.

"What has him bugged?" asked Yamichika.

"The woman he fought. He knew her once," said Haku.

"How so haku-chan?" asked Rangiku.

"I'm not sure Rangiku-chan. I died at his sensei's hand in the world, before I could find out anything else about him," said Haku looking down in sadness at all the possiblities that haad been lost to her in life.

"We should focus on healing ourselves right now. Those bastards did a number on us," said Renji.

"But Renji…," started Rangiku only to be cut off.

"No Renji is right. Naruto is in pain, not physical, but emotional. It will take a little time for it to heal. Besides those Arrancar have ablilties that we knew nothing about. This will have to be reported to The Commander," said Toshiro as he laid back to rest.

Ikkuku opened his eyes in the other room and looked around. "How the hell did I get here?" he asked himself.

(With Naruto)

Naruto walked along the river. He couldn't kill her. Naruto knew that he would have problems attacking Hinata if it came to another battle, but what was he to do. Naruto looked out at the water, before he suddenly blacked out.

(In his mind)

Naruto opened his eyes and found himself facing Yasei. Yasei looked at Naruto pissed off, before charging at Naruto and tackling him to the ground.

"WHAT!" yelled Naruto throwing Yasei off.

"YOU DUMBASS!! Even with your powers unlocked you still held back! Even using your most powerful attack you still held back! The attack was only at 60% of your full power and you only used 50% when you got the okay to unlock your powers!" yelled Yasei.

"What did you expect!? HUH YASEI!? That was my friend. The mother of my children that I didn't know about! What the fuck do you expect me to do!" yelled Naruto.

Yasei growled at Naruto, something he rarely did. "She tired to kill you, she mocked you. She's no longer the girl you once knew! She is a monster trying to kill you!!" yelled Yasei.

Naruto tightened his fist. "Maybe your right, but I still have to try and get though to her!" said Naruto as Yasei walked away a ways, before returning with two swords.

Yasei's body changed until he looked like a Human with dog ears. "Regarless of that Naruto she's still a Hollow. I'll be your partner until we die, but we still must come to an understanding. Being the case I will battle you here and now," said Yasei kicking his sword up until it was in his hand.

Naruto frowned at him before unsheathing his own. "Why?" asked Naruto

"I want you prepared. When you were a Shinobi you still your heart, when you Became a Soul Reaper you let it become your weakness. I'm going to correct that.- Also It's time you learned of our true power," said Yasei.

"True power?" said Naruto as Yasei got into a stance.

"Currently when you enter Bankai we are two different beings I the sword you the wielder, but once we use our true power we will no longer be two beings, but one being with two souls," said Yasei.

"Does that only occur when using this true power?" asked Naruto.

"When you master the power. It won't be like that," said Yasei.

Yasei charged at Naruto. Naruto brought his sword up and blocked the attack with everything he had. He throw Yasei back, but Yaei flipped and landed before Flash stepping towards Naruto. Naruto two flash stepped, before their blades collided. Naruto throw Yasei back, before spinning around and stopping the attack from behind. Naruto pulled away, before the two of them met in the air.

This is going to be a long battle," thought Naruto as Yasei throw him back.

Naruto righted himself and bounced off the wall, before he knew it Yasei had kneed him in the gut, hard, before grabbing him by his hair and slamming him into the ground. Naruto turned around and blocked the sword that was inches from his face. Naruto throw out a hard kick that Caught Yasei in his face, before he was stopped.

Naruto held out his hand and began a chant. "Sprinkled on the bones of the beast! Sharp tower, red crystal, steel ring. Move and become the wind, stop and become the calm. The sound of warring spears fills the empty castle! Hado 63 Thunder Roar Cannon!" yelled Naruto firing a massive yellow blast at Yasei.

Yasei held out his blade. "Lightning Gale!" yelled Yasei slashing the sword and firing a blast of wind and blur lightning.

The two attacks collided, but the Lightning gale absorbed the cannon and contained. Naruto jumped out the way only to be hit across the back by a blade of wind, that cut him badly. Naruto landed on the ground and glared at Yasei.

Impressive, but still not to my standers," said Yasei.

Naruto held up his blade before firing out a Lightning gale. Yasei was shocked that Naruto had used the attack after only seeing it once. The attack blasted Yasei back into the wall, but it wasn't as powerful as Yasei thought it was as he easily got up, but noticed that he was hurt more on the inside then out. Almost like Naruto had aimed it that way.

Yasei was brought out of his thoughts as He blocked an attack from Naruto. Yasei was pushed back until he hit the wall and stopped. Naruto looked at Yasei who was glaring at him. Naruto understood that the time for playing was over. Both vanished and reappeared a number of times with their blades dead locked, until one of them was blown into the ground by the other. When the smoke cleared it reviled Yasei, back in his wolf form.

Good," said Yasei.

Naruto appeared next to him panting. "I never knew you ha a human form," said Naruto.

"That's because I can only sustain it for so long. You have me a good run boy, and as I said we would become one inside our true Bankai," said Yasei as Naruto got up.

"What is the name.

"There is no fancy name. It is a more powerful extinction of the original Bankai we shared," said Yasei as both of them glowed for a brief minute.

(Back in the real world)

Naruto seemed to wake up from his time to find tht it was late night and sitting next to him was Haku. She looked at Naruto before waving. "Hey Haku-chan. What are you doing here?" asked Naruto.

Nothing. I was walking around when I saw you sitting here. I decided to come and pay you a visit," said Haku.

Naruto sat up and yawned. "That's nice of you Haku-chan," said Naruto laying back down.

Both looked up into the sky and all they could see was stars Karakana town slept easily, leaving the two of them to their silence. Haku seemed to have something on her mind and was bothered.

"Alright spill What's the matter Haku?" asked Naruto looking at her.

"You held back on that girl and her guards," said Haku in a near icy tone.

Naruto looked at Haku. "Yeah I did. Not because I wanted to either," said Naruto only to find an Angry Haku on top of him and pinning his hands above his head.

"Then way?" asked Haku staring into his eyes.

"I don't know? When I first saw her I thought that it was nothing ,but as the fight dragged on I realized that it was my fault that she became a hollow, because I wasn't the Guardian she needed," said Naruto only to get slapped by Haku.

Naruto looked at Haku to find her crying. "You tired your best. That's all anyone could ask for, even her," said Haku.

Naruto looked away. "What if my best isn't enough Haku?" asked Naruto looking away from her

All Haku did was smile. That one smile seemed brighter then the sun at the moment. "Then you'll have to try a little harder," said Haku getting up.

Naruto was about to replay when Renji ran up. "Naruto we got problems!" yelled Renji.

"What kind of Problems Renji?" asked Naruto looknig at his brother.

"Ichigo's power signature just up and vanished a while Ago," said Renji.

Naruto put his hand on his chin. "Shinji you bastard. Renji go and tell Toshiro he's in charge until I return. I have to take care of something important," said Naruto as he vanished

Haku crossed her arms over her chest. "What do you think he's up to?" she asked.

"Knowing him, probably going to set some things straight," said Renji as he hand Haku vanished

(With Naruto)

Naruto appeared near an abandoned part of the city and slipped out hi Gigi. He looked around, before taking a lung full of Air. "SHINJI GET YOUR ASS OUT HERE NOW!" yelled Naruto.

Naruto felt the presence of two people neither was Shinji. He turned around to find a girl who looked around 19, standing at 5'6", black hair in a long braid, wearing glasses, and a high school uniform, the other was a tall man, curly blond haired, wearing a black suit with a white shirt under it.

Naruto turned to face them and noticed that both of them had Zanpakto. "Who the hell are you two.

The man smiled. "it's not nice to cruse in front of a lady. I am Rojuro, but most people call me Rose," said the man bowing.

"I am Lisa. You have no business in our area Soul reaper," Lisa glaring at Naruto.

Naruto laughed. "Damn you remind me of my wife Nanao. But the reason I'm here is that my friend Ichigo vanished and no body was able to feel his power," said Naruto.

Lisa rasied a brow. "He can't mean little Nanao?" thought Lisa.

"Oh then how come you came here?" asked Rose as Naruto pointed to his nose.

"You can fool the sixth sense, but not the nose," said Naruto as both of them put their hands on their swords.

"Are we going to do this the easy way or the hard way?" asked Lisa putting her hand on her hilt.

"Please say easy. I want to get back to sleeping," said Rose holding his sword sideways while grabbing the hilt.

Naruto smirked at them, before unsheathing his sword. "Sorry, but that's not about to happen," said Naruto holding it out in the standered style

Both Lisa and Rose flash stepped into battle, while Naruto blocked both their attacks. Naruto throw Lisa off, before ducking a slash from Rose. Naruto counted, by stabbing at Rose, only to find Lisa's sword in the way of it. Rose brought his sword down to Naruto's shoulder, only to find a small shield of wind in the way. Naruto forced more power out and blow them both back.

Lisa looked at Rose. Rose nodded, before sheathing his sword. "Beat Lisa and you can follow her to our base," said Rose.

"That sounds a little unfair don't you think Rose-san," said Naruto.

Lisa growled at him. "Why because I'm a girl?" asked Lisa.

Naruto snorted. "Hell no. I'm no sexist. My wife could kick my ass, I mean that it's un fair that we may both be bloody," said Naruto.

"Lisa, please be casreful he's a gaptain," said Rose.

"I know. I know," said Lisa as Rose vanished.

Naruto and Lisa both vanished and reappeared, sparks flying

(With Soifon)

Soifon was in her office doing some paper work when she felt a Presence in her office. She looked up to see a Man that looked like Naruto standing there. In his hand was a red sheathed Katana, and a red bracer.

Soifon grabbed her sword before the man sat down. "Who the hell are you?" asked Soifon glaring at the man.

The man rubbed his Chin before smirking. "I guess you could call Me Naruto's brother. Anyway that's not why I'm here," said The man as Soifon sat back down, but kept a firm grip on her sword.

"Then why are you here?" asked Soifon.

The man smiled before placing the items on the desk. "Tell the Brat that his brother says goodbye," said thee man before he vanished in a flash of red.

(Hacho Mundo)

Kyubi appeared just outside of Nexus Domain and got the chills. He made a nodachi appear, before he began to walk into the fortress. As he walked Low level Hollows appeared. He smirked at them, before drawing his sword and destroying nearly 100 of them, before sheathing it.

"Vermin like you could never even glance at me! Nexus Get your sorry Hollow ass out here! You invaded my domain and now you have to face the king of Hell!" yelled Kyubi flaring his Reitsu.

"For a king you sure make nose like a child," Came a voice next to Kyubi.

Kyubi jumped as a sword smashed into the ground. Kyubi looked and saw that man that had been descried to him by Yamamoto "You must be Nexus? can't say i'm pleaserd to meet you," said Kyubi smirking at him

"A man in his late 30's early 40's, Gray eyes, long gray hair, gray clock, a sword with a hilt of bone, and a guard that looks like a dragons head. This is Nexus," thought Kyubi

Nexus removed his sword from the ground. "And if I am Kyubi-dono?" asked Nexus glaring at Kyubi with his gray eyes.

"You hurt my little brother by pulling that stunt you did. Sending that girl to try and kill him. That wasn't nice Nexus," said Kyubi.

Nexus smirked at Kyubi. "What are you going to do about it?" asked Nexus.

"That's easy… I'm going to send you into Oblivion you stinking HOLLOW!" said Kyubi as he flared his powers to max.

(With Lady wind)

Charm clutched her hand to her heart as she fell to her knees. Her vassals came to her side and helped her up. Charm had tears running down her face.

"My lasy is something wrong?" asked her closet Vassal a young girl.

"Yes child… Lord Kyubi is about to die," said Charm crying for her friend.
