Konoha's Sleeping Wolf

Chapter 1: New Beginning

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach or any characters.

Summary: A response to the Infamous Man's challenge. Naruto finds Stark's zanpakuto in the forest after feeling abandoned by his family and godparents who favor his sister for housing the Kyuubi.

Lillynette was glad that Naruto woke up half way to his house and walked the rest of the way home with her following. When he walked in his dad who was talking to his sister instantly became alert and threw a kunai at Naruto. Naruto simply drew his sword halfway lazily and deflected the Kunai. "Is that anyway to greet your own son?" Naruto said a little angrily but the anger was overshadowed by laziness.

Minato was shocked that this was Naruto. Ellie, Naruto's sister, smiled and looked at her brother. At that moment Kushina came out of the kitchen to see what the commotion was saw Naruto standing there though he looked different. "Naruto what happened and who's that girl with you?" Minato said looking at Naruto.

Naruto sighed and walked to the table and sat next to Ellie and Lillynette sat next to him. "Well I was exploring the woods I came a cross this sentient sword," here Naruto sat his sword on the table and paused. "I was immediately drawn into my mindscape where the sword and I bonded so that I could better wield it. The result of the bonding was denser chakra and my changed appearance. Oh and this girl is Lillynette she's technically part of my sword." He said before leaning back in his chair lazily.

Lillynette sighed at him before looking at everyone else. "As part of Naruto's sword I guess I'll be living here with you his family. Oh and also I'll be helping Naruto master the techniques of his sword and I keeping him from being to lazy." As she finished she sent a glare at him to which he just waved his hand at her.

Minato and Kushina were both shocked but Ellie was happy for her Nii-chan. "Wow that's so cool. I bet you'll become really powerful now Nii-chan." Ellie said happily.

Naruto smiled at her and ruffled her hair playfully getting a mock glare from her. Lillynette smiled at the interaction and watched as Naruto put his sword back on his belt.

*Next Day*

The next day Lillynette went into Naruto's room early and pulled him out of his bed with a quick yank causing him to fall on the floor. "Time to get up Naru-chan we've got training to do. Oh and you need new clothes. Hm maybe something similar to Stark's outfit but reverse colors." She said thinking.

Naruto stood up yawning and rubbed his eyes. He also tried to glare at Lillynette but that didn't really work. "Fine.. We should probly get the new clothes first then we can find somewhere to train." He said lazily. He just barely dodged a kick to the head from Lillynette.

After getting the clothes which Lillynette and Naruto both agreed looked good on him. They headed towards an unused training ground. Lillynette was still trying to hide her blush at Naruto's new appearance. "Alright Naru-chan draw your sword so we can get started with swordsmanship. If you do well enough I'll train you a technique that will let you feel other's chakra signatures as well as how to harden the Hierro." She said drawing her own sword as Naruto drew his own sword lazily. Lillynette then ran at Naruto and swung her sword at him quickly.

Naruto's eyes widened and he brought his sword up instinctively to block. He then jumped back as Lillynette swung her sword at him again. "Oi I thought you said we were training not that you were gonna try and kill me." Naruto said some of the laziness fading from his voice as he blocked another strike.

Lillynette smirked and jumped back a little bit. "This is training and I won't be able to tell you what aspects need improvement if all you do is block Naru-chan." She taunted before charging again.

Naruto moved out of the way and swung at an opening only for Lillynette to smirk and block it with her sword. After that it went back and forth with them trading blows most of their attacks being blocked any that did get through though didn't do any damage to Lillynette but she was able to leave small gashes on Naruto. Naruto jumped back panting a little bit before his lazy posture came back. "Um why exactly aren't you cut at all Lillynette?" Naruto asked he had tried to get Stark to give him advice but the man had apparently decided to take a nap.

"Because of my Hierro it's a layer of chakra that's mixed with your skin to make it harder then steel. You have it to but at a lesser extent. You did well enough I think I'll teach you how to strengthen it so the only way you'll get cut is if chakra is infused with a weapon. I'll also teach you how to use the Pesquisa which lets you sense others chakra signatures." She said getting a lazy nod from Naruto, which earned him a cut on the cheek from her sword.

Naruto listened to the instructions for each technique carefully. Hardening his Hierro was easy enough but learning the Pesquisa was harder. At first he had stretched his senses out to far and got a massive headache. After that he shortened the range of it so that he could handle the information. Although he couldn't exactly make out what the chakra signatures belonged to he figured the moving ones around him were animals and the stationary ones were plants. He also figured that the one closest to him was Lillynette's and made sure to file its feel to memory. After practicing for an hour he decided to take a nap under a tree.

Lillynette sighed at seeing him take a nap but she had to admit she was impressed with his progress. She picked him up and decided to carry him home. After all there was still an hour or two before he had to go to the academy. 'He is kind of cute when he's sleeping though.' She thought with a blush and heard Stark snicker in the back of her mind. (Stark exists in both Naruto and Lillynette's mindscape in this story. The reason for that is that Stark and Lillynette are essentially the same person.)

*Flash back Lillynette*

"Stark there's no way we can beat them we have to do something quickly." Lillynette screamed as the guns in Stark's hand.

"Your right Lillynette. I have an idea we'll seal ourselves in my katana and rest there until our power is needed. Is that ok with you Lillynette?" Stark asked firing his most powerful attack Cero Metaretella at one of the Biju before using Sonido to escape it's counter attack.

"That sounds like a good idea Stark." Lillynette said. After that the world went dark for a few years.

*End flash back*

'I'm glad that your our new master Naruto even if you are a lot like Stark.' She thought before using Sonido to return to Naruto's house quickly.
