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.
I would like to thank everyone who has commented on this story, and it is likely that I have replied in a PM. If I didn't reply to your review, it was simply because you were only saying "Good chapter," or other things like it, and not giving me any material to reply to.
"Hmm. So that's a Menos Grande. He doesn't look very strong. In fact, some of the Genin back when I was alive looked more powerful than this being. Tsk, and I heard that the Menos were the strongest of us Hollows. Of course, this is just a measly Gillian class Hollow, not nearly as strong as an Adjuchas or a Vasto Lorde. Let's see how I fare against a Gillian class Menos." Naruto ranted to himself as he eyed a massive Hollow, easily as tall as some of the skyscrapers he had seen on his visits to the world of the living.
"Hey! Ugly! I'm gonna kick your ass!" Naruto yelled at the enormous creature.
The Menos simply looked down at him and continued on it's way, not to be bothered with a Hollow that wasn't as strong as it.
"Did that son-of-a-bitch just ignore me? Okay, that's if mother fucker! Now your fucking dead!" Naruto thought, pissed. He took stride towards the Menos, increasing his pace until he reached the Hollow, when he jumped onto it's leg and used his claws to scale the beast. Once he reached the Hollow's neck spikes, he realized just how small he really was compared to the Menos.
"Oh fuck me..." Naruto complained as the Menos flicked him off of one of the spikes coming from it's neck, "Why do I have a feeling this is gonna hurt like hell?"
Naruto slammed into the ground, causing a crater 50 feet in diameter to form because of the Reiatsu he used to cushion the fall.
When the dust cleared from the impact, the Menos actually looked down at Naruto, giving him a second glance. Naruto's Reiatsu flared a good 30 meters in every direction, drawing the attention of some nearby Hollows who happened to stumble upon the scene.
"Haha! Do you see that new kid?! Is he really stupid enough to go challenging a Menos? Does he have a death wish?" One of the Hollows yelled out, pointing at Naruto.
Directly after he finished speaking, a spike of Naruto's Reiatsu reached out in the shape of one of the "Kyuubi Chakra Arms" from the living portion of his existence and gripped that Hollow's head. Soon after, that Hollow was dead and swallowed whole by Naruto, adding it's minuscule strength to Naruto's already massive stores of spiritual energy.
Several of the other Hollows backed away slightly, not wanting to incur the wrath of the fox-shaped Hollow. They watched him kill another medium-high level Hollow easily, even if said Hollow was caught off guard, and were sure he could repeat the process on them.
Naruto hadn't even turned around for the whole exchange, instead keeping his focus on the Menos, giving even more testament to his strength; he didn't even pay attention to that Hollow, yet he still killed him like it was no big deal.
Naruto repeated his charge, altering it once he reached the Menos' neck. Instead of staying on one of the spikes protruding from the neck of the over sized creature, he kept ascending. Once he was situated on the nose of the Menos, he smirked.
"I sense not one, but many inside of you. Is this what is to become of me if I keep up with my tradition of eating my fallen enemies? Pitiful. There isn't a single mind in control, but hundreds in sync, with one of them trying to gain dominance over the others. Like many in the past, he will fail, but eventually, should I let you live, one will succeed the others. I feel like not letting that happen; I don't want any unnecessarily strong enemies in my future, whenever that may be." Naruto said to the Menos, "Sorry, but I'm gonna have to kill you."
Naruto gathered an insane amount of Reiatsu to the soles of his feet, jumped, and landed back on the Menos' nose, stomping with all four of his feet. The giant Hollow's nose broke completely off, which was Naruto's intended result, but what he didn't calculate into his plan was where he was going to land.
"Oh you've gotta be fucking kidding me..." Naruto complained, while a sweatdrop formed on the heads of ALL of the other Hollows watching the exchange. Then Naruto fell, again. Same result, he created a 50 foot wide crater, only this time without some Hollow insulting him. One of his Kyuubi Arms still reached out and grabbed a Hollow, who was completely unprepared, and killed it, feeding it to Naruto.
Naruto, who was starting to stand up, looked up and saw the sole of the Menos' foot. "Today just isn't my lucky day, is it?" Naruto sighed, before getting stomped on. The Menos twisted it's foot a few times like a human squashing a bug or a spider, which Naruto felt. A lot. First off, being trapped under a skyscraper-sized Hollow was NOT comfortable. Secondly, when said Hollow starts grinding you into the sand that you are laying on, it's like being between a rock and a hard spot. Except in this case, it was a few hundred thousand rocks and a hard spot.
When the Menos finally let up, thinking it had killed Naruto, it started walking away, intending to get back on the path it was on. Then, when it heard that annoying, tiny Hollow's voice again, it stopped.
"Hey you fucker! I'm not done with you yet! Get your ass back here and fight like a man! Wussy..." Naruto taunted the enormous Hollow.
Although the Gillian-Class Menos were many in mind, all of the minds had the same fault – pride. When this bug, this lowly simpleton Hollow, questioned it's will to fight, that pride kicked in in the form of several hundred Hollow's prides combined. Slowly, it turned around, clearly intending to finish the fight.
The giant Hollow started charging up it's Reiatsu into a lethal beam, one so deadly that the Shinigami had dubbed it the "Death Blast." This little bug had warranted enough of the Menos' pride to be worthy of dying from a Cero. Naruto felt the massive amount of Reiatsu being gathered and cursed. Naruto's response to the ridiculous amount of Reiatsu, unlike any sane Hollow, was to run up the Menos' leg, yet again, lashing out at various places on the Menos' body with his Kyuubi Arms. Once he reached the spikes jutting from the Menos' neck, he felt the charging stop.
The giant Hollow turned it's head, directly facing Naruto now, a ball of glowing red energy poised in his mouth, and smirked. For one tiny instant, it smirked, then the Cero shot. Naruto brought all of the Kyuubi Arms in front of him, acting like a shield against the Death Blast. After 10 seconds of the Cero pounding against Naruto's shield, it finally let up. Behind the arms, Naruto looked worse for wear, but still had some spunk in him.
He charged the Menos' head, his Kyuubi Arms trailing behind him. Once he reached the giant Hollow's head, he sent the arms forward, acting like swords, and cut straight through the Menos' mask. For one brief moment, Naruto thought, "What's gonna happen when the Menos falls over?" Then he found out.
"You know what? Fuck this! This is the third god damn time that this has happened, I'll be damned if it hurts me. I'm gonna use this fucking Menos' body as a cushion for the landing. If that doesn't work, I'm probably dead." Naruto yelled at himself. He scrambled to reach the side that wasn't going to hit the ground when the Menos reached the bottom of it's descent. He found a place that he could easily hold onto with his claws, and did so for his life (death?)
When the Menos finally crashed into the ground, it jolted Naruto forward, right into the face of some newborn Hollow. You know how Naruto could tell it was a newborn Hollow? Cause it had nearly no Reiatsu. Naruto just slashed the Hollow's mask open, and ate it alive.
"You know what? This Menos is going to take for-fucking-ever to eat. Meh, I guess I could still benefit from the power gain. So, Naruto got to munching on the Menos' body. After several hours of constantly eating away at the huge Hollow, Naruto was done with it, and felt that his Reiatsu supplies had nearly tripled.
"Holy shit! That Menos must have been holding back on me. It must have underestimated me." Naruto realized.
"Yes we did..." Naruto heard, before his control of his body was taken from him. He saw through his own eyes his body starting to change.
Naruto started to realize that the only way he would survive, for the time being at least, was to conform to the other Hollow's wishes. But, he would get one wish of his own granted. He was situated at the hole where the esophagus emptied out to let the Hollow's feed. This let him get more Reiatsu than the other Hollows every time they ate another Hollow. It also let him slightly leech some of the Reiatsu every time the new Menos used a Cero. Of course, there were others that had the same benefits as him, but he had beaten them, so he should be able to beat them again when the time came.
After several months of being in this constitution, several minds controlling one body, Naruto grew bored. He reached out with his senses inside of this body, and realized that he was leagues ahead of the second strongest individual Hollow in this body, in terms of power. He already knew that he had the strongest will ever known, so he started planning his coup d'etat.
He gathered from the past failed attempts in this body that he must strike quickly, after a battle with another Menos, being completely rejuvenated. After they killed some other Menos that was unimportant, he ate as many of the souls coming in as he could, as he would need all the strength he could get. As soon as the last of those Hollow's souls came filtering down through that tube, he struck.
The first thing Naruto did in his coup was to start eating as many of the other Hollows close to him before they could figure out what was happening. As soon as they started fighting back, he sent out a blast of Reiatsu, shocking several of the Hollows closest to him just long enough for him to devour them. When he was finished eating their souls, he felt that his stores of Reiatsu had actually increased very slightly, more than likely from eating more Reiatsu than he expended from stunning the others.
Naruto smirked as he kept this routine up; shock, eat, regain strength from eating, shock, eat, regain strength from eating, etc. Finally, after having eaten at least 500 or more other Hollows, they started decreasing in numbers visibly.
"Haha! I've made it farther than any other Hollow that has tried this. I can see that there are less than a hundred of those bastards left. That's all. Less than a hundred until I have control of my body back." Naruto thought, almost joyously.
Naruto decided to quit the whole "shock em senseless" bullshit he had been using. He knew he had already eaten the 50 strongest other Hollows, these that were left would give him no trouble. He simply started dashing around, slicing their masks open, killing them instantly, before they could even register what the hell just happened. Finally, there was just Naruto and ten other Hollows left.
"So, are you mother fuckers gonna just give up, or are you going to fight it to the death?" Naruto yelled in their direction, already knowing the answer. All ten of them bum-rushed him at once, causing him to smirk. As they were right up upon him, he simply hopped over them, making them run into each other. When Naruto came down, he brought out his Kyuubi Arms, wanting to end this with style.
The Kyuubi Arms struck out, killing the nine Hollows that he couldn't see. The one Hollow that was in front of Naruto finally realized that he was fucked, so he started cowering in fear. Naruto, deciding to land acoup de grâce, simply destroyed the Hollow's head using all Nine of the Kyuubi Arms.
Realizing his work was almost finished, Naruto went around, scarfing down the remains of those last hundred or so Hollows that he killed.
Again, Naruto felt himself changing, becoming more compact, lithe again, strong. A single, free independent mind in one body. He was back to the form of a Kitsune, but new he was no simple Hollow now. No, he was an Adjuchas.
There's another chapter for all of you out there reading my story. I hope it was enjoyable, and please inform me of any major fuck-ups I had.
