The Arrancan King

A Naruto-BLEACH crossover fix by Minato Namikaze

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach. Naruto is created and owned by Masashi Kishimoto, whilst Bleach is created and owned by Tite Kubo. Honestly, lawyers, If I owned either of these great manga, why the hell would I be writing fanficitons? That being said, If I see any lawyers knocking at my door, I'm going to tell you that you have 10 seconds to get off my property before I shoot you (I live in Texas so, I can do that, so suck it!)

"Naruto is really short!" - This is normal speech.

"Did that bastard just call me short?" - Italicized text is thoughts.

"Bakudō 1 – Sai!" - Bold text is Kidō/Jutsu.

(Text inside of parenthesis are stray thoughts or a translation; you will be able to tell.)

I thank all of you whom decided to review my story and didn't just turn your back on it thinking, "Oh, it's another NarutoxBLEACH crossover. It's gonna suck!" Also, not being picky or anything, but if you are going to review, can you login, so I don't have to respond to your reviews here. I prefer to respond in the privacy of PMs now.

Their actions violate a lot of public interests.
They do not really dare kill themselves."

"Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns

Alright, Naruto had to admit; although Sakura's soul tasted like shit, killing her was mildly satisfying. He never actually liked the bitch, it was just part of his facade as the idiot. It definitely helped; go after the bitch that obviously has no feelings for you and everyone is going to see you as a moron, especially if you keep it up for several years. He even kept this charade up until momentarily after his death, bitch slapping Sasuke for bad-talking Sakura. These were just stray thoughts that crossed Naruto's mind as he lazed around in Hueco Mundo.

So, this endless span of silvery sand with a very few and far in between rock or tree (which was also rock) or even a lizard was his new home. At one point in time, he even flipped one of the lizards into his mouth and gave it a few crunches. It was more satisfying than eating Sakura, but he knew he wouldn't be able to live off of these animals.

So, regretfully, Naruto stood up. He walked over to a small pond, taking in his appearance in the reflection. It turns out that because of Kyuubi's minuscule influence on Naruto's soul, he turned out to look somewhat like the demon fox as a Hollow. He was 13 feet long, not including the length of his tails, stood at a good nine and a half feet tall, from the soles of his paws to the tops of his shoulders and had nine tails. His mask was, you guessed it, in the shape of a fox's skull. It was bone white and had three blood red whiskers on each side of the snout. The top canine teeth poked down several centimeters past the bottoms of his lower teeth, giving him a feral look. His eyes glowed black, that's right, glowed black through the eye holes in the mask. The rest of his body was covered in a dark crimson fur that didn't have any order to it; it was unruly, spiking out in whatever direction it could. All in all, it gave him a very demonic appearance, just the kind of thing he wanted now. The villagers in Konoha always called him a Demon, so now he was one. It's funny; Naruto once read in some book called "The Holy Bible" that you can speak things into existence. Turns out that that proverb is the truth.

Casting these thoughts from his mind, Naruto brought his attention back to the matters at hand; he was hungry and he was gonna get food, or else! He resolved himself to eat the next creature he crossed paths with.

As Naruto moved across the silent sands of Hueco Mundo, he finally found another creature like him.

"Food? It's another creature like me, but should I resort to cannibalism?" Naruto had thoughts conflicting within himself. Apparently, he still had morals though he no longer had a heart. Then, his stomach growled, and suddenly, that Hollow looked a lot more tasty.

Naruto crouched behind a sand dune, seeing as how the other Hollow hadn't yet noticed him. He waited patiently until the other Hollow was at the peak of the dune he concealed himself behind and then pounced. This other Hollow was in the likeness of a Dragonfly, but like Naruto, many times larger than the animal of the Human worlds. As Naruto and the other Hollow descended, Naruto ripped the creature's wings off, rendering it unable to fly. The Dragonfly Hollow shrieked in pain before turning on Naruto. It stumbled a little at it's loss of the ability to fly before charging at Naruto.

"Baka. You never charge your enemy head on, even if you are sure you would win the battle." Naruto shook his head. Right before the Hollow reached him, he jumped, landing on the ugly creature's back, slicing it open with his wicked claws. Again, the Hollow cried out in pain, like nails to a blackboard for Naruto's enhanced sense of hearing. Naruto toyed with the weak soul for a few more minutes before growing bored of that and devouring the creature's head in one bite. After he ate the remains of that pitifully weak Hollow, he felt a boost in strength, not one of epic proportions, but enough to make him feel "full."

"Hmm. It seems that eating other creatures like me causes my 'hunger' to be satiated. It must be like refilling this energy that I feel which I assume to be the equivalent of chakra." Naruto mused. "Besides, that son-of-a-bitch didn't taste nearly as bad as Sakura-teme's soul. I could get used to this."

Naruto then steeled his resolve to live, er stay dead? Well, anyway, he promised himself that he would continue to get stronger so that eventually he wouldn't need to take on such weak enemies. He wanted strong enemies to flock to him so that he would never bore. What he didn't expect was that once that happened that he would yearn for stronger enemies, and eventually there would be no one to satisfy that yearning. That, of course, wouldn't be for a very long time, but eventually that time would come.

Naruto crouched his legs to act like springs, and then launched himself away from the carnage that was once a Hollow, in search of another Hollow.

"Hn. It seems I never learned the name of that Hollow. No big deal, not like he mattered." Naruto chuckled.

Naruto stumbled across one of his next meals, er, enemies completely on accident. As he was walking across the desert, having beaten and eaten about 20 Hollows, exponentially adding to his strength, making him grow, he heard a crunch from under his foot.

"Bastard! Watch where you're walking!" Came a gruff voice from under his paw.

"Eh? Did I step on you? Aww, I'm sorry... NOT!" Naruto teased before hopping back a foot or two.

The other Hollow didn't even verbally respond, choosing rather to swipe at Naruto's face. Naruto ducked his head, causing the attack to completely miss, leaving the Hollow off balance. Turns out this Hollow is shaped like a combination of a lion, a puma, and a tiger. Or, in other words, a ligema. Naruto cocked his head at the strange creature before him.

"You, what's your name?" Naruto questioned the creature.

"It is courtesy to give your name before asking for someone else's." The creature fired back.

"Of course. My name is Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto lowered his head, keeping his eyes on the enemy.

"Hmm. Pleased to meet you Uzumaki-san, but I'm afraid I will have to refrain from giving you my name unless you are about to kill me." The ligema smirked.

Naruto just shook his head and spat to the side before acting like an announcer and a contestant, "Well, guess who's name I'm going to know before today's over. Anyone have any ideas? Oh, you, with the black mask. 'Of course, Ugly-san over there's name!' Well, of course, you are correct!" Naruto smirked, knowing that that had irked the other Hollow.

Said other Hollow growled, before launching himself at Naruto. Naruto found that the way to beat any enemy is to piss them off before the battle even starts, so they do reckless things, such as charging the enemy.

As his enemy approached, Naruto readied himself, holding his ground. He dug his rear paws into the sand, lowering his entire body, bracing himself for a coming impact. When the Hollow collided with him, he lifted it onto his back, thrusting off with his front feet and twisting his body to the side. Doing so flipped the other Hollow onto it's back, which Naruto quickly took advantage of before the Hollow could right himself. He slammed his paws down on the other Hollow's shoulders, breaking them, and used them to keep the ugly mother fucker down. Naruto sank his teeth into the crook of the Hollow's neck, causing blood to spurt across both of their masks.

"We both know that I can kill you at any time here, so just tell me your name." Naruto said, placing his paw on the Hollow's forehead, ready to slash the bastard's head open as soon as he told him his name.

"My name is...Bakuhatsu(1)." The creature smirked as it said it's name.

Naruto's face just went blank for a second before, "Shit..." The Hollow under Naruto started rapidly expanding, absorbing surrounding Reiatsu, building up for a last ditch effort move. Naruto slashed the mask of the Hollow, but that didn't stop the rapid growth of it.

"Double shit!" Naruto swore before launching himself away from the creature. He didn't get very far away before it exploded, sending Naruto flying further than he planned, straight into one of those stone trees. He hit it head first, knocking him out for several hours.

As Naruto came to, he was groggy, but still managed to walk over to the remains of Bakuhatsu, cursing the bastard the entire way.

"Sayonara, Bakuhatsu-teme!" Naruto yelled before thrusting his face into the still smoking remains of the Hollow, eating it to gain it's strength.

What Naruto didn't notice was that with each Hollow he consumed, he gained another mind that he would later have to overcome to regain control of his body. It didn't matter at the time, all that mattered was fulfilling his blood lust and hunger.

I felt that was a good place to cut this chapter off at. I hope you enjoyed it, and I expect you to notify me of any screw-ups I had in this chapter. Also, for the translations:

Bakuhatsu(1) – Explosion. His name was given with due reason, as you found out.
