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: Right here is Chapter 4. If it has any mistakes it is because I am typing it on my Blackberry on my breaks and emailing it to myself. So, if there is, I apologize in advance.
A/A/N: Also, to my readers sorry it to so long. What with trying to figure out how to write this chapter, finding a job, incidents in our road, writing just seemed to get put on the backbench. Anyway, here it is. I hope you like it.
A/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/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.

Revelations
"Kami, 15 bowls of ramen? How am I going to pay for all of this?" This is what Iruka thought as he stared at the Ramen Eating Machine also known as Naruto. He just heard the slam of the bowl as Naruto ordered his 16th bowl and showed no signs of stopping yet. Iruka knew his wallet would be a LOT lighter after this visit. "Naruto, I have to ask you about him," Iruka says with a serious face while looking at his half-eaten ramen. "You said you knew about him. If that is the case how then?"
Naruto stopped inhaling his ramen to answer with a grin plastered on his face making him look innocent. "That's an easy one. I have met him before." After that, he carried on the devastation to the ramen before shouting, "HEY OLD MAN, ANOTHER BOWL PLEASE!"
"Coming right up Naruto."
"You met the Ky… him?" Iruka looked almost scared at the thought.
"Yep. I met him the day after I got my powers. Though he spoke to me before that."
Flashback
Naruto was tired. He had been trying out his new sword skills in his Soul Reaper form for hours and was still having trouble handling it. After a few more hours he gave up and sat down under a tree to have a quick rest when he heard the Kyūbi speak.
"If you're wondering, no yesterday was not a fluke."
"Then why do I have trouble handling my weapon?" To say he was frustrated would be the understatement of the year. Naruto was almost at breaking point as a result of this training.
"Maybe it is time you and I spoke face to face."
The next thing Naruto knew he was surrounded by darkness and standing in water, which reminded him of a sewer. In front of him was a cage that looked like it could hold the entire village of Konoha inside as well as its people. He noticed on the door of the cage a piece of paper with the word "Seal" written on it.
That was when he looked closer behind the door, he saw a giant fox with nine tails. The aura of evil rippled of its blood-red fur as it suddenly looked him right in the eyes, its red eyes and black slits for pupils, almost burning a hole right through him. That look alone was filled with so much hatred and guilt. Hatred because he was sealed inside this human, but guilt because of everything that has happened to the human has been the result of the villagers' idiotic ideas that this human was him.
"Kid, I don't think I need to tell you who I am, do I?" Kyūbi said still staring at Naruto.
"So, it is true. I thought it was just a voice in my head and that I was going crazy."
Kyūbi just laughed as he heard those words come from the young Ninja. "No, you're not crazy."
"Then why did you bring me to… urm where are we?" Naruto said confused at the location.
"We are in your mind, but we will discuss that later. I am going to give you a choice as it were."
"What type of choice?" Naruto suddenly looked worried at what it could be. "You're not going to eat me by any chance, are you?"
The Kyūbi that time rolled onto his back, laughing hard as it looked like he was trying to hold his sides with his paws. After a few minutes, he slowly got up "I have not had a good laugh for a while. No, I am not going to eat you as it would not be possible. Now then, I know why you cannot use your Zanpakutō like you did last night. It is because the powers are now locked."
"What you mean?" Naruto looked confused.
"What I mean is you used them freely last night because they all flowed into you at once and had not had time to adapt to your body. Now they are sealed and being released into you slowly so now they are adapting to your body at such a slow rate, hence why you cannot do the things you did last night. Now the choice is this." The Kyūbi stared at Naruto to show how dire this choice would affect them both.
"One side of the coin is you go against what I say try to gain the powers on your own, but if you fight a strong hollow you WILL be killed, in turn killing me too. The other side is you remove the seal and allow my powers to mix with the Soul Reaper's power and you will gain both all at once." The Kyūbi was smiling an evil smile on the inside. "Hopefully he will fall for it and I will finally be free from this damn prison."
"Urm… what about if I remove half your seal?" Naruto looked right into the fox's eyes.
"You would get half of mine and the Soul Reaper's strength with the rest slowly being added to you in time. But why would you want to do that?" The fox just recoiled in shock. "Damn it. Not what I was hoping for but it could work to my advantage."
"You mentioned a coin and it reminded me of something someone said a while ago now. That was that a coin has three sides. So, if there is a choice then there is always another option that the person never knows about." He smiled looking proud of himself.
"A coin has two sides and... It's edge. Clever." The fox just looked at him. "Maybe I was wrong about him."
"Exactly. So, suppose if you toss a coin enough times, suppose one day it lands on its edge, then what do you do?"
"Alright then. To take off half the seal just rip the paper in half and leave half of it on the cage. This will hurt a bit. And then afterward, I will show you how to unlock your powers."
Flashback End
"You removed half the seal? Naruto what were you thinking?" Iruka was mortified at the thought of the Kyūbi escaping.
"Iruka-sensei don't worry. After training with him honing my new skills and his power he kind of warmed up to me so now he will help me as much as he can. Plus, the seal actually recovered slowly because he is healing me, he was not trying to force the half-broken seal and even helped rebuild it to full again." Another of his smiles showed on his face that could calm anyone. "But I was thinking what if I am out with my team and I get a Hollow attack. I don't want anyone to know about this. Well not yet."
"Maybe we should ask the Hokage to help you with this one Naruto. Now finish up and get home. You have a busy day tomorrow." As Iruka said this he saw that dreaded piece of paper coming towards him that was known as 'The Bill'. "Kami, why do I keep punishing myself?" He glanced at the bill and sighed "Well that's me broke again for another month."
As Naruto entered his apartment, which was okay this time, he saw the Hokage with something in his hands. "Naruto, it has come to my attention that you wish to keep your new powers a secret. Well, I thought you would like this." He handed him the package.
"Thank you, Jiji-san. But how did you know? Iruka-sensei couldn't have spoken to you this quickly." He ripped the package off and looked at the gift. It was a white fox mask from ANBU. Complete with the ears on top of the mask and the muzzle where it should be. He then looked at the design of the mask and noted that it had red and black stripes on it. As much as he loved it, it did remind him of a Hollow mask.
"That is for me to know and you to find out. Now Naruto you will wear that in your Soul Reaper form and only your Jōnin-sensei will know it is you behind that mask. Everyone else will think you are a new ninja and a new secret rank has been added. You will be known as Soul Reaper or Shinigami. Just make sure your body is hidden" He winked as he shunshined out of existence, or did he pop meaning he was a shadow clone he couldn't tell.
Naruto looked at the mask in awe and smiled as he placed it on his bedside before getting into his bed and slowly drifted into asleep wondering what is going to happen to him in the future.
Well, that's Chapter 4 done finally. I know it is short, but this is to explain somethings that I have kept hidden. I will keep things hidden and reveal them later in the story or the next one.
A/N: I will try and finish updating this story quickly so I can post Chapter 11. I have been away from here for a while and I guess that a lot of people who read this story probably forgot about it due to me not updating in a long time. I hope you still have an interest and know that Chapter 11 is coming and coming soon. That I do promise you.
Review Responses and Cookies for all:
Jarjaxle - Thanks for the review. And no Team 7 are not assholes ha-ha. And no this is not going to be a harem story. Though he will get with someone I have not decided who and if it will be in this story or the next one.
stc-dragon - Thanks and you will have to wait and see -winks-
serin2 - Ahhhhhhhh yes. I did not forget you, but I had a nice chat with you over messages
ConnectFire611 - Yes, I know it is hard to find a good crossover of Naruto and Bleach, which is why I did this story -smiles-. And to answer your questions there maybe but what they are and who they are, are not decided yet if I want them in that it. And your other question yes there will be other Soul Reapers in this story but much later. Also, thanks for the website I will take a look at it.
Phnxfyr1 - You might have too if I get writer's block again or if life catches me.
OBSERVER01 - For powers, I am still stuck on what they will be for him. For his look, I have a rough idea and an idea on what his Zanpakutō soul will look like and what his name will be. But Naruto won't.
Well, that is that for now then. Hope you enjoy it. Please review and remember Flamers I will string up by their toes and use the flames to attack Justin Bieber with them and maybe get rid of him ONCE AND FOR ALL!
