The Arrancar 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.
So yeah, I'm working on juggling: wooing the woman of my dreams, school, extracurricular activities, music production, and my new job, as well as writing fanfictions. Two or three of them. Obviously, I don't have that much time for this humble piece of literature. I would like to think that having 33000 hits on this story would mean something, but it really doesn't. Not when another story that I'm writing, which I believe is much, MUCH better, only has 3,400 hits. The story I'm referring to, of course, is Demon's Destruction. Check it out if you have time. Also, when you're reviewing, here's some general guidelines.
1) Log in or make an account when you review. It makes me happy. That way, I know that you have the ability to come back and see my story again and get notified whenever I update it. Thanks!
2) Don't flame, but at the same time, don't go, "zomg holy shit th1z story iz good!111!111one lulz" Constructive criticism is the best thing for an author. I'm writing this story for you guys, tell me how to make it better.
3) I spent time and effort making sure that I have proper grammar and spelling in my story, and I don't have a beta reader. My chapters are at least 1000 words each, almost all the time more. Please take a little bit of time and use proper grammar and spelling if you review. I understand if English is not your first language, just say something. If English IS your first language, and you are still using terrible grammar and spelling, then I hope I never meet you in real life; I would likely murder you.
On another note, I may start changing Naruto's speech style for 2 reasons.
1) I've been reading an (auto)biographical book about the creators of the video game Doom, titled "Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture " and so I will likely use John Romero's speech patterns slightly.
2) I feel like it.
So, let's start up the story!
Naruto dug his muzzle into the remains of the deceased Hollow, not feeling even the slightest bit refilled. It was a shame, he thought, since he had traced the bastard down halfway across Hueco Mundo. Blinking, Naruto looked around, not sensing ANY reiatsu in his vicinity. All of a sudden, as if a fire hydrant had its top knocked off, Naruto was almost crushed down to the ground from the immensity of reiatsu surrounding him. It felt to him almost like his entire body was being crushed by a giant hand, only there was nothing physically touching him.
Naruto managed to choke out, "What the fuck is that?" He saw a faint silhouette ambling toward him; the pressure increasing with each step the humanoid took. Ignoring the gargantuan presence, Naruto quickly thought of a way to possibly make a bargain with this being, perhaps run away. He knew as soon as he felt the reiatsu that he would have absolutely no way of fighting; that thing had at least 100 times the power he did. It didn't even seem like it was stressed at all, from the ease of it's gait. Escape, he soon realized, would be nearly impossible, unless he could manage to crawl into a shadow to use his new found ability.
The creature, another hollow, walked up to Naruto and lazily glanced at him from the corner of his eyes. "My first impression of you is... You have potential. Incredible potential, left untapped. You have walked this desert a much shorter time than I, yet you are already so strong, for someone your age. I can feel something deep, deep inside of you. Almost... A second source of energy, perhaps? Would you like to join me, young one?"
The ancient, wizened hollow stretched a hand out to Naruto, before chuckling at his own idiocy as he noticed the latter's lack of hands. Naruto attempted to stand up, but fell back to the ground, weakened from the pressure on him. The other hollow tilted his head sideways, before realization dawned upon him. He smiled and suppressed his reiatsu, instantly relieving Naruto. Sighing, the kitsune hollow brought himself to stand, and nodded at the other, silently agreeing to partner up.
"Perhaps this guy can help me become the best. Surely, my shadow will eventually fall over him and crush him in the same manner that his has me," Naruto thought to himself, unaware of his new companion's similar thoughts. The older hollow knew without a doubt that the adjuchas would eventually surpass him, and accepted it as fact. It would happen whether or not he trained the kitsune or not, he knew.
The human shaped hollow motioned for Naruto to follow him, before setting off in the direction of the moon. Naruto treaded along behind him, thrilled that he wasn't dead, and ecstatic that he was going to be trained by this overwhelmingly powerful being. The other hollow suddenly turned around and said to Naruto, "My name is Shinanai. And yours?"
Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, and decided to lie, "The name's Mendou. That's a rather interesting name you have, Undying."
Shinanai chuckled and nodded, saying, "And you do as well, Difficulty. I suppose we've taken a mutual agreement to use pseudonyms?"
Naruto twitched slightly, awaiting an attack for the lie, before hesitantly nodding. Then he realized that Shinanai had admitted lying to him as well, and burst out laughing. Shinanai simply looked at him oddly, before returning to his gait towards the moon. They ambled for several hours, before coming across a group of gillian class menos grande. Shinanai, without even averting his gaze from the gillians, told Naruto to kill them.
Naruto began charging up for a cero, before Shinanai stopped him, telling him to defeat them in close combat. Sighing, Naruto slipped into Shinanai's shadow and reappeared behind one of the menos, shocking Shinanai slightly. With a huge, psychotic grin on his face, Naruto lunged up the menos' back and circled around it's body, ending up right in it's face, and said, "Eat shit, sucker." Naruto reached out, dragging wicked claws along the menos' mask, rending and tearing it, causing the hollow to deresolution. The other gillians reacted quickly, turning to face Naruto, already charging up a cero each. One reached out to grab Naruto, only for the kitsune hollow to disappear from his grip. Confused, the menos tilted its head slightly, before Naruto slashed it from top to bottom, removing it from existance.
Naruto methodically butchered all but one of the menos, which he finally killed by rocketing himself through its mask like a torpedo as it tried to fire a cero at him. Naruto came out the other side slightly singed from the reiatsu, but was otherwise unharmed. Shinanai sat at the edge of the newfound craterfield and clapped, chuckling.
"That was quite a show you put on for me there, Mendou, I enjoyed that greatly. Now, let's go," Shinanai called out, almost haughtily. Naruto obeyed, and set out after Shinanai once again, still towards the moon.
"Ah, that's a great name for him. El Gran Terror, The Great Terror. Haha, his ability to slip through shadows sent a chill of fear down even my spine; other hollows will be massacred, it will be truly macabre and magnificent," Shinanai thought, giving Naruto yet another pseudonym, one that Naruto would eventually go by exclusively.
Please forgive the great amount of time since the last update? I've been grounded for most of the time, and when I wasn't, I was playing minecraft. On another note, you guys are going to get the most epic thing that I can possibly ever make: An album of epic electronic music that will follow a theme of this fic vaguely... Hard to describe, but it's gonna be the most epic thing ever. And yes, I know that I have used the word 'epic' more times than it should be in just this author's note, but it will be epically epic. Oh, and I'm still grounded... But once I get ungrounded, I'm gonna be updating this story and Demon's Destruction more often.
Anywho, Namikaze out!
