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: Chapter 5 is here people. FINALLY! Damn it, this took me a long time to write this. What with work and writer's block and my computer acting up (I had all my stories on a memory stick, so it was all good) and recently sorting the house out with refurbishing. So, it is a new year, a new computer so it is only right for a new chapter, even if it is four months out.
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.

"Yo" Demon/Hollow Thought
Team Seven
Naruto stared at his new mask, his fingers traced over the design of it softly almost being mesmerized by its look. He felt a connection to the mask almost as if it was meant for him and no one else. As he was thinking about this the Kyūbi spoke to him about how to keep himself a secret from the other Ninja in the village.
"Kit, I have an idea that may work but comes with a bit of a downside."
"What is the idea then?" Naruto thought as he appeared in front of the demon fox.
"Well, it will involve fusing the mask to your Soul Form by using my Chakra and yours." As he was saying this Naruto was thinking before he picked up on the last word.
"Wait…mine? But your Chakra was used in unlocking some of my Soul Form, right?"
"Yes but…urm…some of your Chakra was mixed in too. Meaning you do not have to rely on my Chakra." The Kyūbi looks sheepish which made Naruto chuckled at the sight.
"So, what do I have to do?"
"Just hold the mask to your face; I will fuse it to your Soul Form with both our Chakras. It will also allow you to change your appearance slightly too. But I must warn you, it will hurt like hell." As he finished saying this, Naruto exited his mind and switched to his Soul Form before holding the mask to his face making sure it was in the right position as he thought two words.
"Do it."
The pain he felt was just unbearable, almost like his face was on fire and melting very slowly. It slowly fused his jaw first before making its way up the rest of his face. His pain threshold broke as he screamed a blood-curdling scream that could be heard almost across the entire village. The pain suddenly got worse and more intense as his hands grip the edge of the mask trying to rip it off him wanting the pain to stop. He dropped to his knees trying to make it stop almost wishing he had not agreed to this as the pain was too much. After five minutes of this unbearable pain, it slowly subsided.
He slowly got to his feet, dropping his hands away from his new look as he walked slowly to the mirror staggering a little. He saw himself and smiled as the mouth of the mask moved with his own mouth before noticing on the forehead it now had the Leaf symbol on it. His eyes had changed to a dark purple with slits in them and his hair was longer, now reaching down to his shoulders, and was a dark green.
"Wow. What the…?" Naruto was surprised and rub his voice box. "Oooo new voice. Hello, HELLO, hellllooo." His voice, he had noticed, had taken a gruffer, lower tone.
"Like what I have done kit?"
"Yes, I like the green hair. It reminds me of him." His mobile beeped as he looked at it and picked it up. He smiled, put it in his pocket as he opened the window wide and jumped out to the nearest building before starting his hunt.
He was on his way back when he heard cheering nearby. Normally cheering meant that a big group of villagers were planning another attack on him, so he decided there and then to get closer and listen in so he could report it to the Hokage. As he looked through the window, he saw that it was a poker game going on. Out of all the faces, he saw one that he knew instantly.
"Hattari, I should have known." Naruto smiled as he saw him. Hattari was one of the few Jōnin in the village to look after him and protect him from attacks. He was 6' 10'' and had soft short wavy hair that went to the top of his ears; he had hazel eyes with some speckles of white in them making his eyes look like they had tiny diamonds in them. He wore the village symbol on his right arm just below his shoulder. His Jōnin outfit was the same but different in colour as his was a lighter blue than normal and had black stripes on his arms and legs.
Next thing was Hattari cheered as he pulls some Ryo towards him. "Another win for me."
"Damn it Hat, you're on fire tonight."
"How is this possible? I should not have lost with that hand. It was fate that I win."
"Oh, shut it Hyūga about fate, no one believes in that especially me." Hattari smiled at the Hyūga Jōnin.
"Fate does exist Hat." The Hyūga glared harshly.
"Really? Well here is something to remember. A little…something that I live by." Hattari just looked at the Hyūga.
"Not that coin one again."
"No, a different one…"
As Naruto listened his phone went off again signaling another Hollow attack. All he could do was sigh quietly before going to the new location. It seemed like it was going to be a long night.
Konoha was quiet and peaceful at this time of morning; the shops were opening their doors for another day of trading, villagers slowly stirring from their beds and the night shift Ninja guards shifts ended so they could rest. That was until an almighty shout was heard.
"DAMN IT!"
At that moment several birds flew from the trees, people still asleep woke up with a start and those that paid no attention to the world around them or were going about their daily business almost jumped out of their skin with fright. Within moments everyone knew who had shouted. Naruto.
The boy in question was running down the street with his jacket only half on with one arm in it and almost hopping as he was trying to get his other shoe on. He finally got his shoe on and started running faster, before it flew off. He quickly stopped and ran back to get back on and made sure that when he put it on it would not fly off again as he slipped his other arm into his jacket and ran again as fast as he could.
"Damn it! Why did my alarm not wake me up this morning?" He thought loudly.
"Because you were out fighting Hollows last night till late. That and you're an idiot for not setting it at all." Kyūbi said with a smile.
"Not helping." Naruto thought to the caged fox angrily.
"I know, but even though you have grown on me it IS still funny to watch and poke fun at you." Kyūbi chuckled.
"Just shut up you stupid fox!" Naruto just heard laughing in response to that and sighed before pushing himself to go faster.
Iruka walked through the classroom door to see all of the students that had passed the test. He smiled inwardly but he looked around and got worried when he did not see Naruto anywhere. "Well, he has five minutes before he is late. Must have been going after Hollows last night."
"Okay, class, settle down." The response was the students kept talking to each other and ignored him. A vein started to slowly appear on his forehead before he snapped and he suddenly used his Demon Head Jutsu, in a way he was hoping to use it one last time on his students. "HEY, SHUT THE HELL UP! NOW!" The response this time was instantly quiet and all of them facing the front as he cancelled the Jutsu. "Thank you. Now please be quiet until the last few graduates arrive."
As the words left his mouth, Naruto burst through the door almost ripping it off the hinges. "I am sorry I am late Iruka-Sensei."
"Iruka-Sensei, why is the Dead-last here? He failed the test yesterday." A student shouted out while glaring at Naruto hard.
"Well for starters Daichi, Naruto stopped a traitor from stealing village secrets, making it an S-class mission. So, the Hokage and I decided to make him a Genin as a reward as well as being given an S class pay check for the mission. Does that explain why he is here?" Iruka gave a small but triumphant smirk. "Also, Naruto you are not late, you're just in the nick of time."
Daichi gingerly slunk back into his seat as Naruto took a seat next to Sasuke Uchiha and sighed in relief as the class continued to wait in silence. Sasuke was sat how he normally did all the time in class and always quiet. His hair and eyes were both black as the night itself, while his hair looked the back end of the duck his eyes showed he was not too be messed with. He wore his usual clan clothes which have his clan symbol on the back of his dark blue top and black shorts that ended just above his knees with footwear that matched. He wore his headband on his forehead.
As the class was waiting the silence was slowly broken by distant shouting. As the shouting got closer, they could hear it was two girls fighting, and everyone in the room knew that it could only be Sakura and Ino as the two were always fighting. For the second time that day the door was again almost ripped off its hinges as both girls burst through the door fighting over who won the race and got to sit next to Sasuke.
"I won Ino-pig, so I get to sit next to Sasuke-Kun!" Sakura shouted. She was a slim girl, too slim for her age or build, had long pink hair that reached to her lower back that was the same pink as Sakura Trees and green eyes that almost looked like emeralds. She wore a red dress that had a white circle design on the back and a white border around the edge of her dress. The outfit run down her legs which had a slit either side for movement making sure to cover her decency with black biker shorts. She also wore matching shoes to go with the dress but without the white on them. Her headband was tied like a bandanna in her hair to keep her hair out of her eyes.
"Shut up Forehead! I won that race, so I get to sit next to Sasuke-Kun! NOT YOU!" Ino screamed as well, almost going red in the face from trying to be louder. She had bright blue eyes that almost matched Naruto's, long platinum blond hair that was in a ponytail and reached the middle of her back. She wore a purple outfit and had white wraps around her arms, hands, and legs. Her shoes also matched her outfit and her headband was around her waist like a belt.
Both girls glared at each other before being interrupted by Iruka. "You're both late." The glaring match changed quickly to shock as they slowly turned to look at Iruka. "And the seat next to Sasuke has been taken so find another seat." As quickly as they could they both found seats, Sakura next to Naruto who blushed slightly and Ino in between Chōji and Shikamaru.
"Right, now that you are all here, we can start with the team placements. Team 1 will be…" Naruto slowly turned out and just looked at Sakura. He saw her as perfection, but she never looked at him twice, ever. It was always Sasuke. Sasuke had everything handed to him on a silver platter while he had to work extra hard to get any skills. He suddenly turned to look at Sasuke and glared at him as he heard Iruka again.
"Team 7 will be Naruto Uzumaki, Sakura Haruno…." Hearing this Naruto cheered as Sakura slammed her head on the desk, "…and Sasuke Uchiha" at this moment Sakura cheered.
Naruto slammed his head on the desk hard thinking, "Why me?"
"Your sensei is Kakashi Hatake."
Four hours. Four bloody hours they had waited for Kakashi to get them from the classroom and all three Genin were starting to get impatient. Naruto was thankful his phone had not gone off for a Hollow attack. He was pacing up and down at the front of the class, Sakura was sitting and looking at Sasuke and Sasuke had not moved from his spot.
"I CAN NOT TAKE IT ANYMORE!" Naruto screamed at the top of his lungs. "How the HELL can he still not be here? Everyone else's sensei was here on time and he is still LATE!"
As he said this the door opened as a man poked his head in the room with gravity-defying spiked grey hair, his headband over his left eye and a mask covering the bottom half of his face. He looked at all three before saying "Meet me on the roof in five minutes." With that, he left as quickly as he had arrived as all three Genin rushed to the roof.
All three of them had arrived just before the five minutes was up and sat down in front of their new sensei. He was sitting on the railing and reading from an orange book like he did not want to be there teaching them. "Okay then. Now that you're here why don't we start by introducing ourselves? Your likes, dislikes, dreams, that sort of thing."
"But Kakashi-sensei, shouldn't you go first to show us how you want us to introduce ourselves?" Sakura pointed out.
Kakashi closed his eye as it did a downwards half-circle, which for some odd reason they could tell he was smiling at them from under his mask. "You're quite right. Okay, my name is Kakashi Hatake. My likes, dislikes, and dreams are none of your business. Your turn Pinky."
All three of them sweatdropped and thought "We already know his name!" They were quickly brought back from their thoughts by a slight cough from their sensei. At this Sakura brightened up and began to speak.
"My name is Sakura Haruno and I like…" she turns to Sasuke and giggles slightly, "my dream is…" she does the same thing again but with a huge blush on her face. "And I hate Ino-pig and Naruto." Hearing this Naruto's face dropped.
"A fangirl. This could cause problems down the line." He then looked at Sasuke. "Your turn." Sasuke just kept his eyes closed as he spoke with a cold and emotionless tone.
"My name is Sasuke Uchiha. I don't have any likes and I hate everything" as he said this, he opened his eyes to glare at Sakura who noticed but shrugged it off, "my dream… no, my ambition is to find and kill a certain man and restore the Uchiha clan to their former glory." Sakura went goo-goo eyed at him while Naruto just glared.
"An avenger. Like I did not see that coming a mile away." He then turned to Naruto "And finally, your turn," Naruto suddenly sat up straight and smiled as he spoke.
"My name is Naruto Uzumaki. My likes are training, Sakura-Chan, and ramen. My dislikes are the three minutes it takes to cook instant ramen, Sasuke-Teme, and the old orphanage owner." Naruto realized he had slipped up as he was excited but kept a straight face, though all three suddenly looked at him wondering what that meant though Naruto did not notice and carried on. "My dream is to become Hokage and protect this village until the day I die."
"Interesting, though not totally unexpected." Kakashi smiled at them. "Okay team, we will meet at training ground seven tomorrow at 0600 hours sharp for your next test." He was about to continue before he was interrupted.
"B… but we have already done the test Kakashi-sensei," Sakura said with her hand up.
"No. You have done the academy test to see if you can take the next test. Basically, you have the potential to become Genin. However, if you fail this test you will be sent back to the academy." At this point, all three looked at him in total shock. "Also, the pass rate for this test is 33%."
"But that is not fair!" Naruto shouted out as he stood up, with Sakura and Sasuke both nodding in agreement.
"Well, they are the rules. And before I forget don't eat breakfast tomorrow or you will puke. Now you are dismissed, except for Naruto. I need to have a word with you please." Kakashi watched the other two go as Sakura pestered Sasuke for a date again.
"Yes, Kakashi-sensei?"
"Naruto what was that comment about the old orphanage owner all about?" Kakashi looked at him seriously.
Naruto suddenly changed from a happy, carefree boy to one with fear in his eyes as his voice changed to a quieter tone. "I…I don't want to talk about it. I did not even mean to say it, it just slipped out as I wasn't thinking."
Kakashi sighed as he knelt to meet Naruto at his eye level. "Naruto, I know you are scared. I can see the fear in your eyes. There is nothing to be frightened of."
"I am sorry Kakashi-sensei I just can't…." He quickly looked down as he felt ashamed of himself as he started to remember that one horrible night when he was seven years old.
"It is okay. You can tell me when you're ready." Kakashi did another eye smile as he placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder.
"I don't know if I ever will. I… I swore never to speak of it again." Naruto quickly excused himself as he slowly made his way back to his apartment, the memories of that night still playing in his head again. However unknown to either of them Sasuke and Sakura overheard everything and both wondered what had happened to him that made him this scared.
Well, that is the end of this chapter. Again, I apologize for taking so long. I promise it will not happen again.
A/N: Again, this is all to update and make the stories better as of mistakes, grammar, and missing words. I will probably do one more before I go to bed.
First off Daichi means Dai: Large or Great and chi has two meanings. The first is Chi: Earth or Land. The Second is Chi: Wisdom or intellect. Since I am one for being ironic the student's name will be Daichi meaning 'Large intellect', but not having a good enough intellect to see that Naruto is Naruto, not the Kyūbi. See what I was getting at? -winks-
Also as well there is a very small reference to Doctor Who in this chapter from the episode Utopia and I am shocked and saddened to see that no one picked up on it at all. Maybe now that I have mentioned it, you might spot it.
