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 thought I would try and do the next chapter now, and get it out the way, so you readers can have a read of it.

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.

Storytime.

Different Beginnings

It had been three months since the day that Naruto had gained the powers of a Soul Reaper. Three months since Kisuke Urahara had given him the tools to become a Soul Reaper, fight off Hollows and send spirits to the Soul Society. Three months and…NOT A SINGLE HOLLOW ATTACK HAPPENED! In a way, it was a good thing because he knew no one was getting attacked but in a way, he wished one would appear so he could try out his new powers again. Right now, he wanted a Hollow to attack anyone just so he could get away from the stares that everyone was giving him. Naruto was sitting on the swing outside the academy having just failed the Genin test again, staring at everyone who had parents and who had passed. He could hear the praise that the kids were getting but he could also hear the whispers from their parents about him. The Demon Child. And it was getting to him again.

Without even noticing that someone was beside him, one of his teachers spoke to him softly. "I am sorry Iruka failed you today Naruto-Kun."

"Mizuki-sensei what are you doing here?" Naruto asked surprised.

Mizuki Touji (1) was an instructor at the academy. He was of average height, had light grey hair almost reaching his shoulders, black eyes and was quite light-skinned with a hint of a tan. He wore the traditional Chūnin outfit of a blue jumpsuit with the red swirl on each shoulder and a green tactical vest. He also wore his headband like a bandanna over the top of his hair and head.

"Well, I am here to offer you a way to become a Genin by taking a make-up test. But it is a secret, none of the other students or instructors know about it. But I figured I would cut you some slack and offer you the chance of passing since you failed a third time. So, don't tell anyone. Not even Iruka. Okay?" Mizuki says with a smile on his face.

"REALLY? THAT'S GREAT MIZUKI-SENSEI! What do I have to do?" Naruto said looking excited.

Later in the forest outside of Konoha by an old shack. Naruto had just tricked the Third Hokage with his Sexy Jutsu and stole the Forbidden Scroll, and now he had to learn one new Jutsu from it to pass and become a Genin. He knew that the Hokage would be awake by now and would be sending Ninjas after him to retrieve the Scroll that he stole, but he had to learn one Jutsu so he could become a Genin and be one step closer to achieving his dream of being Hokage and being respected by the village finally.

He sat down, opened the scroll and looked at the first Jutsu that came up. "The Shadow Clone Jutsu." His face suddenly fell as he saw his one weakness. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU! WHY DID THE FIRST JUTSU HAVE TO BE A CLONE JUTSU? Oh well, I best give it a try at least."

Elsewhere in the forest, Mizuki was traveling to Naruto's location as fast as he could. "He actually managed to steal the Scroll from the Hokage tower. I am impressed. I have to get to him before anyone else does."

Back with Naruto and after some time had passed, he was kneeling and panting after having tried the Jutsu several times. "I think that I have learned it correctly. Now for the next one."

Suddenly a poof of smoke appeared in front of him as Iruka appeared. "There you are Naruto. You are in serious trouble for stealing the Forbidden Scroll you know."

"Oh hey, Iruka-sensei. I knew you would find me, though I thought I would have had enough time to learn another Jutsu from the Scroll." He said to Iruka, smiling brightly.

Iruka Umino was another of Naruto's instructors at the academy and he was Naruto's favourite sensei. He was also of average height but a bit smaller then Mizuki from what he could remember. He had brown hair that was bunched up and spiked at the back of his head, black eyes and was quite tanned. Also, he had a scar going horizontally across his face over his nose in the centre of his face. He too wore the traditional Chūnin outfit of a blue jumpsuit with the red swirl on each shoulder and a green tactical vest. His headband was worn on his forehead, covering it.

"Wha...? You say you learned a Jutsu from the Scroll?" Iruka looked at Naruto in shock but then it turned to a smile at seeing the big grin on Naruto's face. "Well what do you know, maybe you do have potential after all Naruto."

"So now that I learned a Jutsu from the Forbidden Scroll, I can pass the make-up test. Right?" Naruto said jumping up and down in front of Iruka.

Iruka just looked at him confused. "What? There is no make-up test Naruto. Who told you this?"

Naruto just looked at Iruka like he was joking around with him. "Is this part of the test too Iruka-sensei? Mizuki-sensei told me about it. He said that if I steal the Scroll, bring it here and learn a Jutsu from it before he arrived then I would pass and become a Genin."

"Why would Mizuki say t..." Iruka sensed someone was attacking and has just enough time to push Naruto out the way before getting pinned to the shack by kunai.

"Well, I see that you got here first Iruka. Not surprising since no matter where Naruto hides you always catch him before anyone else. Now Naruto-Kun, give me the Forbidden Scroll" Mizuki, now with two large throwing stars on his back, said to both Iruka and Naruto.

"Naruto. Listen to me. Just RUN! Get as far away from Mizuki as you can." Iruka said trying to get free from the kunai pinning him up, preventing him from moving.

"Naruto trust me. If you give me the Scroll now you will become a Genin." Mizuki said with a smile while holding his hand out.

"Mizuki, stop lying to him. Naruto do not let him get that Scroll. If he gets it, it could put the entire village in danger." Iruka grunted as he finally removed the last kunai holding him in place.

"Iruka says I am lying to you Naruto. Well, the entire village has been lying to you Naruto." Mizuki said with a sadistic smile on his face.

Iruka looked shocked and scared, knowing what Mizuki was going to say. "NARUTO DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!"

"Have you ever wondered why everyone hates you Naruto? Well, I will tell you. The reason everyone hates you is cause YOU ARE THE NINE TAILED FOX THAT ATTACKED AND KILLED EVERYONE TWELVE YEARS AGO!" Mizuki's voice was filled with so much hatred and venom in his voice that it was oozing when he said that while staring at Naruto.

At this point, Mizuki was hoping Naruto would break down but he looked, and he was smiling. "Smiling? How can he be smiling? JUST HOW?"

"Mizuki, I have known about the Kyūbi for three months now. So that is old news to me." Naruto stated with a fox-like smile.

"Well then if you know already, I WILL STILL KILL YOU FOR BEING A DEMON! DIE!" Mizuki was already spinning one of the large throwing stars from his back and threw it full force at Naruto.

Naruto's body moved on its own as he suddenly jumped up and grabbed the throwing star and threw it back at Mizuki faster than it was thrown at him. He saw that Mizuki jumped just in time, the deadly weapon just missing him by an inch. Mizuki looked surprised at this and jumped down ready to attack Naruto again. But what shocked Mizuki was what Naruto said in a cold voice. "If you try and do that to Iruka-sensei or me again. I will KILL YOU!"

"Ha. You really think that?" He grabbed a kunai from his pouch and rushed towards Naruto at blinding speed. "NO! IT'S MORE LIKELY I WILL KILL YOU!"

Naruto suddenly made a hand sign and shouted "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" A blast of white smoke appeared suddenly from Naruto causing Mizuki to stop dead in his tracks till the smoke cleared. When it dispersed, Mizuki stood in shock at the sight of two thousand Naruto clones all cracking their knuckles. "I don't think I can. I know WE CAN!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

After Mizuki had been taken away by ANBU to be interrogated, Iruka looked at Naruto as the sun started to slowly rise signifying dawn. "Naruto, can you close your eyes for a minute please?" He said at him with a smile on his face, beaming with pride.

Naruto looked confused but did as his sensei asked and closed his eyes. With his eyes closed, he pondered what happened leading up to summoning all those clones. "Some of the Soul Reapers reactions and strength must have passed into my body as well as my soul. That is why I was able to dodge and send Mizuki's weapon right back at him faster than he could throw it at me. I wonder what else my body has gained from this."

"Kit, I am as shocked as you. Though it is not a bad thing. It just means you will be a better ninja, as well as a great Soul Reaper. This way you can get better quicker and achieve your dream faster because you're already having a slight head start." Kyūbi told him almost with pride in his voice. Almost.

"Yeah, you're right Kyūbi. Thanks for helping me think things through over these three months." He said to him with a big smile while scratching his cheek with one finger.

"Kit, I may still not like you. But you're rubbing off on me. Plus, I will help you whenever I can. Now open your eyes. Your sensei is worried." Kyūbi faded from his thoughts as he slowly opened his eyes and saw that Iruka's headband was missing, his goggles were in Iruka's hand and that Iruka had the biggest smile on his face.

"Congratulations. You Graduate."

Naruto suddenly smiled the biggest smile possible at that moment, tackled Iruka and hugged him tightly. He was now officially a Genin. He was now one step closer to becoming Hokage. "Thank you, Iruka-sensei."

"Now as this is a celebration how about we get some..." Iruka never got to finish as he was sent flying into a tree full force. As he looked up he saw a monster with bird-like characteristics, a bird-shaped white mask with yellow eyes and a hole in the middle of its chest. To say that Iruka was scared was an understatement. He was terrified of the sight before him. The monster roared at him and started to move closer. He had never seen anything like this in his life. "NARUTO GET OUT OF HERE! I WILL HOLD IT OFF!"

What Iruka saw next shocked him. Naruto pulled out a tag and held it to his chest. The next thing he saw was Naruto fall to the ground but he also him standing there with a sword in his hand and in different clothes to what he was wearing but still had his new headband over his forehead. "Iruka-sensei, stay back. This is mine." He smiles and ran in front of the Hollow and got into a defensive stance holding his blade across his body. "HEY HOLLOW SCUM! IT'S ME YOU WANT!"

The Hollow looked at Naruto and licked its lips as it saw him. "My, what luck? A tasty Soul Reaper. How about you make this easy and just let me eat you now. I prefer my souls fresh and uninjured." The voice was that of a woman and spoke with a sweetly sick voice while looking at Naruto straight into his eyes.

"Fat chance. If you want me, come and get me." He grinned at the Hollow as he dashed forward at an incredible speed and jumped towards the Hollow, swinging his sword trying to finish it in one blow. Next thing he got blasted back as the Hollow flapped its wings sending him away. Luckily Naruto recovered and landed on his feet in the defensive stance again. "Okay so attacking head-on will not help. So, I need to get behind it. But how can I... well it's worth a shot." He then sheathed his sword.

"What is that matter giving up already? Well, that is great because I can EAT YOU NOW LITTLE SOUL REAPER!" The Hollow dived towards Naruto as quick as it could, trying to catch him.

Naruto retaliated by making a hand sign. "SHADOW CLONE JUTSU!" The same blast of white smoke surrounded Naruto as before but this time only ten were standing there as the smoke cleared. "Surround it." They quickly surrounded the Hollow and withdrew their swords as it stopped its dive. "Now ATTACK!" All ten of Naruto's clones attacked at the same time. The Hollow immediately flapped its wings and sent four clones hard into the ground, dispelling them out of existence. The other six made it to the Hollow, one on each wing as they slashed and stabbed the wings to stop it flying, and the other four on its back. Three of them had to stab the Hollow in the back as they lost their footing, but the real Naruto managed to stay on his feet and rushed to the head of the Hollow. He then jumped once more and spun in the air bringing his sword down and slicing the Hollows head clean off. He landed in front of Iruka, who was gobsmacked at Naruto, and dispelled his clones as the Hollow faded away into nothing.

"N… Naruto? What just happened?" Iruka stammered out.

"I told you I would deal with it Iruka-sensei. Oh, but… could we keep this a secret, please? I am still trying to get used to it." Naruto just laughed and had his hand behind his head.

"You really are full of surprises," Iruka thought with a smiled softly before speaking, "Okay Naruto. I will not tell anyone about this but can you at least explain it to me. And as I was saying before that happened, we can get ramen to celebrate." He stood up and walked towards Naruto who had touched his body and entered it in a bright light.

Naruto sat up and quickly checked his pockets and only found his Soul Reaper Tag "Damn I must have left the pager at home, that's why I was taken by surprise by that Hollow. I got to remember to always keep it on me." He then just smiled at Iruka. "Sure I will explain what happened as we walk back Iruka-sensei. And RAMEN! THANK YOU, IRUKA-SENSEI!"

At this moment the Kyūbi shivered. "Oh, great more ramen. He really needs to eat more than just that stuff. It tastes horrible."

As they walked back to the village, they did not notice that they were being watched. The Third Hokage had watched what had happened between Naruto and Mizuki and then Naruto and this monster. He kept watching so he too could find out what was happening, but just smiled at the sight of Naruto being happy. "Well, that was several unexpected things to happen tonight. Naruto you really are the most unpredictable ninja ever. And I can see you having a bright ninja career ahead of you."

Okay, that is that for this chapter. Again, I hope you readers like it. If you do, you know what to do. If you think you can help me get better and help me by adding things, you know what to do. In other words, review, please. I got four this time. That makes me happy. However, if you want to flame me, well I will not laugh. I just will get my good friend Chuck Norris to roundhouse kick them back at you sending you back to next week so he can do it again and again and again for all eternity. -Smiles innocently-

A/N: This updating business is kind of annoying, but it is my own fault. I need to proof-read my stuff better before I upload it for you guys to read. I do feel embarrassed because of all the mistakes and errors when I should have spotted them and fixed them beforehand. I will update once more and then start again tomorrow. I have an interview for a Shift Runners job in my place, so I do need sleep and rest.

(1) I don't know if this is Mizuki's full name. It is a name that I got off an info site about the characters. So before you say "He did not have a surname" or "That is not his real surname" I do not know what it is. If I had not found this, I would have made one up for him. The site I got it from will be on my profile, so if someone can confirm what it is or whether this is his actual surname, please let me know.

And don't worry. The Hollow fights will get harder and longer. These are just small fry. Plus, it would be unfair to Naruto if he only just got his powers and had to fight a tough Hollow. But I promise he will get stronger as will the Hollows, and that means the fights will be longer.

Okay on to the responses to reviews:

Fan of Fanfics21: Well that you guessed right. There will be a lot more chaos later, though. Have a cookie -Passes you a cookie-

darkyamato: Thank you. You can have a cookie. I read quite a few Naruto and Bleach crossovers and most of them where Naruto dies and becomes a captain of a squad. Just not realistic in my opinion. And this is how this story was born in my small deranged mind -Laughs manically then Passes a cookie to you-

freohr: Thank you that makes me smile. Cookie for you -Gives you a cookie-

Jarjaxle: Thank you again. Saying that you want it updated quickly makes me smile too. And I hope this will be a great story. COOKIE! -Hands you a cookie-

Well, then I think that is everything.

So, until the next chapter.
