The Soul Reaper of Konoha

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach. If I did... well let's just say that Naruto would be totally different, especially that god awful ending, but Bleach would be about the same. I only kidnapped them to put them in situations for your own entertainment.

A/N: Okay I had nearly 300 views but only TWO REVIEWS? Come on people. I know what I said about flamers and that my camel Steven and I would laugh at them, but if it is nice, I would like to read what you say. If it is ideas or constructive criticism, then I would like to read it so I can get better with your help.

A/A/N: Again, this is an update to get rid of any errors I have missed and to get me back into writing as well as to make my stories better. Updated 20/03/2017.

A/A/A/N: Updated once again, I promise that these will be the last updates to the chapters before I start posting new chapters and finishing this story before finishing the others. I will be focusing on one story only and finishing it before moving on. This will help me to focus instead of losing track and getting a massive writer's block for several years. I will update everyone with what has been happening with Chapter 11. Updated 23/10/19.

Anyway, on with the story.

New Strengths

The Hollow just looked on before snapping out of its fear and diving towards its prey, its mouth opened wide ready to take a bite out of Naruto so that it can claim its reward. "Two Soul Reapers to eat. How delightful." It knew how close it was and this new Soul Reaper still did not move from his spot, the Hollow wondered why but instinct took over, making it charging faster ready to devour him. Next thing it knew, the blond-haired Soul Reaper disappeared. Before it could think as to where its prey had gone, the pain spread through the Hollows body as it felt the blade of Soul Reaper cut deep into its back. The Hollow found said Soul Reaper behind it, with blood on his sword, as it felt blood seep out of the wound going down its body and hitting the floor.

Naruto just stared at the monster, ready to kill it if it tried to attack again. The monster suddenly moved to attack him again as he got into a defensive stance, placing his sword in front of him. He heard the Kyūbi in his head, "Kid aim for its head. Cut its head off and you will kill it."

He just nodded seeing the monster get closer, his body moved on its own again, ducking under the monster's attack as his arm moved and slashing at its neck, removing the head clean from the body as his new reactions moved him away in case the body fell on him trapping him. He looked in surprise as he saw the body and head slowly fade away into nothing. Slowly he walked to where the body was, still wary in case it was somehow still alive and just hiding, as he heard a low roar and a fist suddenly appear out of thin air trying to punch him. His reactions took over again as he jumped above the hand, swinging his sword down and cleaving the hand right off the arm as he heard a roar of pain, blood flew out where he had cut as the second monster appeared in front of him like it was screaming. He just looked at it with a hard glare as he jumped at it aiming for its head.

The second Hollow realized what this Soul Reaper was doing and retaliated by swinging its arm down to try and grab him with its hand and crush him before eating him. Naruto saw what it was doing and pointed his sword towards the monster's hand, piercing the monster's left palm right through. He then quickly jumped, pushing off the hand ripping his sword out of the palm and swung with all his new-found strength slicing the monster right down the middle. As Naruto landed and sheathed his new sword, the monster suddenly split into two pieces as blood flowed from the cut, it slowly started to fade just like the other one.

"Wow. Did...I just do that?" He said to himself in both shock and wonder.

Clap. Clap. Clap. "That you did, and I must say that I am impressed, as I have not seen anyone who has not only just received a Soul Reaper's power beat two Hollows so fast. But you have adapted to the power of the Soul Reaper so quickly."

Naruto's new instincts took over as he drew his sword from his sheath and slipped into an attack stance. "Okay first off who are you? Second, what are Soul Reapers? And third what are Hollows?"

"My, my. Agitated, are we? Relax I am not going to attack you." He said with a smile.

"You still did not answer my questions. So, start talking" Naruto demanded from the man.

"Okay, but if I tell you my name, you have to tell me yours. It is how proper introductions are done. And since you want to know who I am so badly I will tell you. I am Kisuke Urahara. Now, what would your name be?" He tipped his hat slightly at Naruto.

Slowly but still unsure, Naruto lowered his guard slightly and spoke slowly. "Naruto Uzumaki."

Naruto took this chance to inspect the man before him. He saw that he was a tall light-skinned man, with messy light blond, but almost pale, coloured hair judging from the hair that was allowing some hair on show. He had grey eyes, but they were almost covered by his hat, which was a green and white striped bucket hat. He was wearing a traditional set of Japanese wooden sandals, a set of dark green pants with matching dark green shirt and a dark greyish-green coat, having large white diamond patterns along its bottom half from what he could see from the front. He also noticed that he was holding a cane, though it did not look like he needs it, it looked more like it was for show than anything else.

"And your second and third question, I will explain both to you. First off there are two types of spirits you should know about. The first are good spirits or as we call them Wholes. The second are bad spirits or as well call them Hollows. Hollows enter the world of the living to attack living people and Whole Spirits, to feed on their souls. Following me so far?" Urahara asked and smiled when Naruto nodded "Wonderful. Okay, the Hollows were them monsters that you killed or exorcised before."

"You mean to tell me that the m… Hollows, attack people and spirits just to eat their souls?" Naruto's faced was a mixture of horror and disgust.

"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. Now then as for Soul Reapers well they have two main jobs. The first job is to find the Wholes and perform a Konso on them so they can be led to The Soul Society or afterlife if you prefer. The second job is to exorcise the Hollows wherever they are in the living world and when they enter the living world to stop them from eating more innocent souls." Urahara explained without emotion on his face.

"That sounds tough, to be honest," Naruto said looking at Urahara now knowing what is going on.

"Yep, you could say that kid," Urahara said bursting into a sudden bright smile as he pulled out a fan.

"This guy has more mood changes than any person in this village." Naruto shook himself from his thoughts quickly. "Okay, but what does this have to do with me?"

"Well," Urahara started, looking right at Naruto making him shift under his gaze, "since you ended up transferring his power," he pointed at the dead Soul Reaper still on the ground than towards Naruto, "to you, I say that makes you a Soul Reaper now kid. Congratulations!" He explained as he pulled out some party blowers and blew into them before popping some party poppers over Naruto.

"Is this guy for REAL?" Naruto started having a twitch in his right eye at Urahara's actions.

"Kid I know what you're thinking and believe me I am thinking the same thing too. But this Urahara is knowledgeable. It would be wise to trust him. Even if he acts like an even bigger idiot then you sometimes." The Kyūbi said in Naruto's mind after seeing what Urahara was doing.

"Okay, but only because you think it is wise. But I am not an idiot." Naruto just sighed in his head. "So what you're saying is I am a Soul Reaper now. That I now have to help Wholes pass on to this Soul Society and exorcise Hollows to stop them from hurting people?" He just looked as Urahara finally calmed down from his antics.

"That is basically it. But the strange thing is Hollows, Soul Reapers, hell even me are not meant to be in this world." Urahara explained.

"Hang on. Are you saying you are from another world?" Naruto blurted out and stared at Urahara.

"Yes. That is right. Somehow the Hollows have gained more strength and power than normal. Normally they get a few souls and feed on them, not really making them stronger but just satisfying their hunger. But a few of them have taken the souls of Soul Reapers. Now this gives them a sort of power boost, making them stronger. One must have eaten a good number of Soul Reapers to allow them to pass through dimensions. Normally when someone has the idea of dimension travel, they think it would be wise to develop a way to input a destination so they know where they are going, or they could end up in space suddenly. But that only happens in stories. The Hollows are not really that intelligent, so they must have ended up opening a new route to somewhere different by accident, not knowing where it would take them. Unfortunately for you and your world, it looks like the route they opened up took them here." He emphasized his statement by pointing downwards to the ground while looking at Naruto.

"But… you said Soul Reapers exorcise Hollows, right?" Naruto looked worried.

"Yes. However, some Soul Reapers get cocky thinking they can beat any Hollow or are new and get picked off quickly. But the point is they have opened a path to your world and connected it to our world. I don't know if there is a way to seal this route off now, but it seems more routes are opened to this world by the Hollows, wanting to feed here. And as you can see, the Soul Reapers found out about this and sent someone to investigate what is happening. So, for now, at least your world and my world are firmly connected." Urahara just looked down at the ground.

"So, the Hollows will keep coming?" Naruto asked, even though he knew what the answer would be.

"Unfortunately, yes they will. But," He suddenly looked up with a big grin plastered on his face and pointed to Naruto, "You are now a Soul Reaper. So, you can deal with Hollows and if they kill anyone you can perform a Konso on them and help them pass on."

"Well, what about my ninja career? I cannot just give that up. I cannot give up my dream of being the greatest Hokage this village has ever had." Naruto just looked heartbroken at this time.

"Did I say for you to give up your life? I did not. You can still do your ninja career. So, don't worry about it." He saw that Naruto looked relieved. "Now then, I have two gifts for you. The first is this." He handed Naruto what looks like a tag with a skull on it surrounded by fire. "If you're wondering what this is, it is a tag that will allow you to leave your body when there is a Hollow attack nearby, or when there is a spirit that needs help to pass on to the Soul Society. The next gift is this," he handed him a flip mobile phone. "This is called a Soul Pager and it will help you as it will show you when and where Hollows will attack that are near to where you are. Normally they will activate about say five minutes before an attack is due to happen. Giving you plenty of time to get ready to deal with said Hollow."

Naruto looked at the two items before walking towards his body and placing them into his pockets. "Thanks, but... what about training?"

"Oh well since you took all of the Soul Reapers powers it is like you have gone through the training yourself." He just smiled at Naruto. "Everything he learned, you will know. Normally you only get a power transfer but since this Soul Reaper died and it is still a few hours after death and he wasn't fully consumed, all his training will have passed on to you so you can learn from his memories, though it may take some time for you to fully utilize it. But your Zanpakutō will be your own, as with all Soul Reapers. And before you ask your sword is your Zanpakutō."

Naruto just nodded slowly at him. "Well thank you Kisuke Urahara." He smiled at him as he held out his hand.

"You are welcome Naruto Uzumaki." He shook Naruto's hand with a smile. "Now I will take our young Soul Reaper here and give him a proper sending off." Urahara walked and picked up the body of the young Soul Reaper, placing him on his shoulder. "I must return to my world now. But I will come back and see how you are doing. See you soon Naruto" He slowly waved his hand as an opening appeared before he walked through it and it closed off.

Without another thought, Naruto ran and picked up his body as he burst in a flash of light and entered his body. He slowly woke up and ran back to his apartment, hoping it would be done by now. As he reached his door, he burst inside and closed the door, locking it behind him. He leaned on the door and noticed that his apartment had been fixed and slowly pulls out the two items he was given not that long ago. He then puts them back in his pocket, smiling. "Okay Urahara, I will do as you ask and help you out. It's a promise of a lifetime."

The Kyūbi just looked and smiled showing its fangs off in all their glory. "Kid I am proud of you, in a way. Not many get this path to take. You are one of a very few select people. And I will help you on the way too." He slowly thought to himself, "I only hope he can face the challenges ahead of him, both in the life of a ninja and of a Soul Reaper. Though this could be a way for me to escape."

Right, that is the end of the second chapter. I hope everyone liked it. And from the amount of you either putting this on your alerts or under favourites, well it makes me smile. But please, please, PLEASE review it. It just takes a couple of minutes of your time and would make me a very happy writer and I would then write faster. Which means you would get to read this story quicker.

A/N: That is the end of the second chapter edited. Just so you know all the reviewer responses will stay the same. I will be responding to all the new reviews when I post Chapter 11.

Okay on to responses to reviews:

Naginator: I hope this is enough explanation for you. And do not worry, I was going to explain it in either this chapter or the next one. I would not leave you hanging like that but wanted to throw everyone into the deep end and make them think "Okay what the hell? How did the Hollows cross over into another world?" Hopefully, it worked somewhat, and I got everyone thinking that. -Smiles and passes you a cookie-

narutoshamanking : All I can say is thank you -Passes you a cookie-

So, all I can say now is please review.

Thank you.

Reven of Darkness.
