Disclaimer: I own none of these ideas this is a pure work of fiction. I have added my own characters into the story the most characters are owned by Bleach and Naruto and a few references to dragon ball, z and gt. This fan fiction is a Bleach, Naruto and small bit of dragon ball crossover. There is also a couple Mortal Kombat reference as well as Street fighter, god of war III a quote or two from Monty Python and the Holy Grail and some quotes from Team Four Star's Dragon Ball Z abridged. I also got a lot of ideas from Naruto: rise of the lord of foxes and one character idea from the fan fiction Toshuriou's little Rangiku but for the most part this is my own work. I own none of the songs used in this chapter they are all property of their respective owners I repeat I OWN NONE OF THEM.

Chapter Twenty-five: Half-time show

CJ preforms the hand signs for a summoning jutsu and a concert stage appears he then turns to the crowd at large and you see the crowd fall silent and then CJ says

"Lady and gentleman, we got a real show for you folks. I know what you're thinking 'what is going on here' well I tell you, before we continue with the Chunin exams we are going to have a short break which will include a fight as well as a concert but to level out the air we are going to have the concert first. Well first we are going to do some planned songs then we are going to take requests. First up please put your hands together for the band Green Day and their song Holiday" he the preforms another summoning jutsu and the band he just described appeared on the stage and their banner appeared around the back of the stage. The crowed goes wild and then the man by the microphone said

"Thanks for that warm welcome; we are really excited to be here. YOU READY TO ROCK!" this last part he shouted and the crowed (including yourself) yell to the singer responds "Alright folks here we go with our song Holiday. 1…2…3…4" the song starts out with a few notes from the guitar then the singer starts

Say, hey!

Hear the sound of the falling rain

Coming down like an Armageddon flame (Hey!)

The shame

The ones who died without a name

Hear the dogs howling out of key

To a hymn called "Faith and Misery" (Hey!)

And bleed, the company lost the war today

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

Hear the drum pounding out of time

Another protester has crossed the line (Hey!)

To find, the money's on the other side

Can I get another Amen? (Amen!)

There's a flag wrapped around a score of men (Hey!)

A gag, a plastic bag on a monument

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

On holiday

(Hey!)

(Say, hey!)

The guitar starts playing a solo

(3,4)

"The representative from California has the floor"

Sieg Heil to the president Gasman

Bombs away is your punishment

Pulverize the Eiffel towers

Who criticize your government

Bang, bang goes the broken glass and

Kill all the fags that don't agree

Trials by fire, setting fire

Is not a way that's meant for me

Just cause, just cause, because we're outlaws yeah!

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

I beg to dream and differ from the hollow lies

This is the dawning of the rest of our lives

This is our lives on holiday

The song ends on a long note and when it does Green Day takes a bow while the crowd cheers then CJ speaks

"Let's hear it for Green Day" the crowd cheers again

"Thanks folks"

"Now for the next song comes a band that those of you who like metal will appreciate from their new album The Lost Children please help me welcome Disturbed and playing the song Run. He then preforms the summoning jutsu and this time another band appears and their logo which looks really creepy. The song starts and the singer starts up

Run and hide again
I want to wait this time
Don't wonder why you can't clear this final sin
You know this story was over before it began
This is a battle
You're not gonna win
Welcome to the end

I've spent a lifetime planning out your destruction
You're never gonna witness another day
Alone in my mind, planning out your destruction, with no other function
You really don't know how long I've waited for your destruction
I'm telling you, you just can't get away
A whole lifetime planning out your destruction, with no other function
You really don't know
You better run

Ask me why again, nowhere to go this time
Revenge will be mine again
Say goodbye, my friend
Don't run away this time and die like a man

There is no escape from my plan
Welcome to the end

I've spent a lifetime planning out your destruction
You're never going to witness another day
Alone in my mind, planning out your destruction, with no other function
You really don't know how long I've waited for your destruction
I'm telling you, you just can't get away
A whole lifetime planning out your destruction, with no other function
You really don't know

There is no reprieve
You don't dare to look in my eyes
We'll turn their gaze away in time
You better run!

I've spent a lifetime planning out your destruction
You're never going to witness another day
Alone in my mind, planning out your destruction, with no other function
You really don't know how long I've waited for your destruction
I'm telling you, you just can't get away
A whole lifetime planning out your destruction, with no other function
You really don't know

Welcome to the end

Run and hide again
I want to wait this time
Don't wonder why you can't clear this final sin
You know the story was over before it fucking began

The song ends everyone cheers "Now for a song that I think fits some of us in the crowd by Skillet which is called 'Monster'" again he performs the summoning jutsu and a new band comes out then they start; the song starts out with a guitar solo then the singer takes up

The secret side of me
I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me
The beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it

It's scratchin on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hidin under the bed
In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this
Make it end

I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

My secret side I keep
Hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
Cause if I let him out
He'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this
Make it end

I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

Its hidin in the dark
Its teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me
It wants my soul it wants my heart

No one can hear me scream
Maybe it's just a dream
Or maybe its inside of me
Stop this monster

I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I (feel like a monster)
I hate what I've become
The nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within
It's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control
It's something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster

The song ends and the crowd goes wild "Ok now for our next song by Avenge Sevenfold 'Beast and the Harlot' come on out boys" again summoning the next band they set up and start the song starts off like the last with a series of strums on the guitar and this goes for about 45 seconds and then the singer starts yelling and that goes for about ten and then the song really starts

This shining city built of gold

A far cry from innocence

There's more than meets the eye 'round here

Look to the waters of the deep

A city of evil

There sat a seven-headed beast

Ten horns raised from his head

Symbolic woman sits on his throne

But hatred strips her and leaves her naked

The beast and the harlot

She's a dwelling place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit, every filthy bird

And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the great

Then starts the guitar solo

The city dressed in jewels and gold

Fine linen, myrrh and pearls

Her plagues will come all at once

As her mourners watch her burn

Destroyed in an hour

Merchants and captains of the world

Sailors navigators too

Will weep and mourn this loss

With her sins piled to the sky

The beast and the harlot

She's a dwelling place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird

And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the great

The day has come for all us sinners

If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground

Flee the burning, greedy city

Looking back on her to see there's nothin' around

I don't believe in fairy tales and no one wants to go to Hell

We've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see

Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us

You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever

She's a dwelling place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird

And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the great

She's a dwelling place for demons

She's a cage for every unclean spirit every filthy bird

And makes us drink the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings

Fallen now is Babylon the great

Once again when the song ends the crowd cheers and when it dies down CJ says "Alright folks we will now be taking requests" you step forward and say

"whispers in the dark Skillet"

"alright skillet looks like you got an encore" skillet comes back out sets up and then starts

Despite the lies that you're making

Your love is mine for the taking

My love is just waiting

To turn your tears to roses

The guitar starts up

Despite the lies that you're making

Your love is mine for the taking

My love is just waiting

To turn your tears to roses

I will be the one that's gonna hold you

I will be the one that you run to

My love is a burning, consuming fire

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

I'll light the night with stars

Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

You know I'm never far

Hear my whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

You feel so lonely and ragged

You lay here broken and naked

My love is just waiting

To clothe you in crimson roses

I will be the one that's gonna find you

I will be the one that's gonna guide you

My love is a burning, consuming fire

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

I'll light the night with stars

Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

You know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

I'll light the night with stars

Hear my whispers in the dark

No, you'll never be alone

When darkness comes

You know I'm never far

Hear the whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

Whispers in the dark

The song ends and everyone cheers again and skillet leaves the stage then Gaara stands up and says "how about meaning of life by Disturbed"

"Meaning of life it is!" CJ says then disturbed walks back out and starts up

The guitar starts up

Get psycho,
I wanna get psycho,

Run you little bitch,
I want your power flowing, juicy glowing, red hot, meaning of life.
It's not enough to have a little taste,
I want the whole damn thing now,
Can you take it?

Need to get psycho,
Wanna hear you say it,
Say you want it, need it,
Don't wanna wait until we finish the show.

You're one twisted little fuck,
And now you wanna get psycho with me.

Can you take it?

Need to get psycho,
Wanna hear you scream, tell me to,
Take you, scare you, FUCK you,

Your one twisted little fuck and now,
You wanna get psycho with me.

Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in,
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in,
Give in, Give in, Decide. Give in.

I can feel the blood, flowing through my veins,
Spilling on my soul, and now the hunger's getting bigger,
Come a little closer now, Pretentious whore and pull my trigger,
Free the violence that is building in me,
I say now end of the ride, murder suicide, Is how I've been feeln' lately.

Come a little closer now pretentious whore Im reelin' with a feeln' that I can't ignore,
Come a little closer now pretentious whore Im reelin' with a feeln' that I can't ignore,

Need to get psycho, is not a question to me.

Wanna, wanna, wanna, wanna ...

The song ends and the crowd cheers and then Naruto walks forward and says "waking the demon bullet for my valentine"

"alright walking the demon it is." Then a new band walks out and then a guitar solo starts up and after a few seconds the singing starts up

Oh!

2, 3, 4

[Verse 1]

Helpless,

My eyes are bleeding from the fear that's inside,

You sealed your demise when you took what was mine,

Don't try to stop me from avenging this world,

No voice to be heard

[Chorus]

Waking The Demon,

Where'd you run to?

Walk in the shadows,

Watch the blood flow,

There's not much longer, so don't try and fight,

Your bodie's weakening, Walk to the light,

Those painful times so alone so ashamed,

I'm not coming back there's nothing to gain

[Verse 2]

Caution,

There's just no limits to the boundaries you push

I warned you but still you just f**k with my mind,

There's no escape from this rage that I feel,

Nothing is real,

[Chorus]

Waking The Demon,

Where'd you run to?

Walk in the shadows,

Watch the blood flow,

There's not much longer, so don't try and fight,

Your bodies weakening, Walk to the light,

Those painful times so alone so ashamed,

I'm not coming back there's nothing to gain

[Breakdown X2]

Breathe on me

Don't wake me from this slumber.

Stay With me

Possession taking over

[Solo Lead-in]

Whoa!

Tread!

[Breakdown X2]

Breathe for me

Don't wake me from this slumber.

Stay With me

Possession taking over

[Outro]

Waking The Demon!

The song ends and once again cheers and then Itachi walks forward "One step closer Linkin Park" you smirk to yourself you remember when you were younger you would often return to find Itachi in his room listening to that band and it pissed mom and dad off to no end

"alright Linkin Park come on out here fellas"

I cannot take this anymore

Saying everything I've said before

All these words they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Less I hear the less you'll say

You'll find that out anyway

Just like before...

[Chorus:]

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

I'm about to break

I find the answers aren't so clear

Wish I could find a way to disappear

All these thoughts they make no sense

I find bliss in ignorance

Nothing seems to go away

Over and over again

Just like before...

[Chorus]

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, shut up, shut up

Shut up when I'm talking to you

Shut up, shut up, shut up, shut up

I'm about to BREAK

[Chorus]

Everything you say to me

Takes me one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

I need a little room to breathe

Cause I'm one step closer to the edge

And I'm about to break

When the song ends everyone cheers and then CJ says "Alright folks we shall start the fight between Byakuya and Gaara" Gaara and Byakuya then walk out and face one another and Gaara says

"As the Kazekage I will let you have the first blow" to which Byakuya responds

"be careful you don't end up regretting you decision but I appreciate it all the same" Byakuya draws his sword holds it out in front of him and says "Scatter Senbonzakura (thousand cherry blossoms)" his blade starts to separate and it looks like they turned into cherry blossoms they drift in the wind and Gaara says

"that is it that is what your sword does I am not impressed"

"looks can be deceiving" Byakuya responds then one of the blossoms drifts by Gaara and it then cuts him and Gaara looks shocked that his sand didn't defend him

"How did you get your blade by my sand" Gaara asks,

Byakuya smirks and says "my blade to your eyes looks nothing like a weapon and so Shikaku didn't recognize it as a threat and therefore didn't defend you, instead of thinking you are surrounded by cherry blossoms think you are surrounded by my blade"

"I will take note of that Byakuya Kuchiki but now I recognize those petals as a threat and they won't cut me again"

"Hado number 4 Byakuri (white lightning)" a lightning bolt shot from Byakuya's finger and shot at Gaara while his sand rises to protect him it isn't fast enough and Gaara gets hit on his right arm though it looks like the blast would penetrate it didn't because of Gaara's sand armor that he uses as a secondary defense against attacks

"not bad Byakuya but now I go on the offensive" Gaara said as he held his hand out and the sand shot at Byakuya who dodged the sand but then it followed him up and what looked like in desperation said

"Hado number 58 Tenran (swelling wind) the sand gets blasted away and smashes into the ground you look over at Naruto who is watching with both fear for his friend and awe at the power of his captain when you look back Byakuya uses flash step and disappears however your sharingan tracks him and it looks like he will reappear behind Gaara and stab him in the back. You turn to Naruto and ask him

"what attack is that?"

"Captain Byakuya's favorite move 'Senka' basically what it does is captain Byakuya moves at high speeds and stabs his opponent in the back then sheaths his blade" he responds

"So this is the end for Gaara"

"No Gaara is too strong for something like this to kill him" and true to his word the sword is trapped by a shield of sand

"not bad lord Kazekage is seams that I must get serious"

"show me the strength that you hide"

"It's your funeral" Byakuya shrugs "Bankai" he then drops his sword blade pointed down and out of the corner of your eye you see Naruto's eyes widen in fear then gigantic swords rise from the ground there are what looks like thousands maybe even hundreds of thousand "Scatter Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (vibrant display 1000 cherry blossoms)" the blades glow pink just like his regular sword did when he released it before the blades separate and gaara looks shocked at the amount of blades

"Exactly how many blades now cover the sky?" gaara asks

"100 Billion"

"Hmm interesting, sand spear jutsu!" then sand condenses and then shoots at Byakuya but the sword petals form a wall of steal in front of him

"Nice try but Senbonzakura Kageyoshi can be used for both offence and defense"

"Seams I have no choice but to use this" gaara starts making hand signs and then claps his hands together "sand style: sand tsunami jutsu!" a huge amount of sand starts to fly forward and in reaction Byakuya throws his hand forward and most of the blades fly toward Gaara's wall of sand but to no avail so to avoid being crushed Byakuya takes to the air using flash step when the sand finally settles Byakuya is still in the air as he knows of Gaara's abilities and doesn't dare risk staying on the ground

"Ok seams you are better than I heard, now Gokei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" the swords then fly and start to circle Gaara

"Sand coffin" Gaara says and holds his hand out and sand flies at Byakuya but because Gaara can't see him the sand misses

"While I stick to the sky you can't sense me out with sand so you're officially in a bad position now vanish in a split throat scene Gokei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" then the ball starts closing in on Gaara

"Ok now Gaara is dead" you say to Naruto "and don't say he can get out because he can't"

"We shall see" he responds coolly

"Seriously dude you think Gaara can get up from this you're crazy"

"You are underestimating the host of Shikaku"

"I thought the Akatsuki extracted him"

"They did, but you heard that the shikage gave your girlfriend and her brother and their mom so it makes sense that he gave Gaara Shikaku back as well"

"Yea I guess, wait what happens when he falls asleep Shikaku will break lose won't he?"

"Ordinary you would be right but the shikage made a different seal and made it like mine so the only time we have to worry is when he gets really pissed off."

"Well let's see what Gaara does shall we?" as you hear Gaara say

"Wind style: grand air bullets" and then the sphere gets blasted open as hundreds of thousands of blades get dislodged giving Gaara the opportunity to escape unfortunately the attack blasts Byakuya and causes him to bleed quite a bit it spills on the ground but it doesn't look like it is life threating

"Not bad Kazekage but now behold my next attack Senkei Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (scene of the massacre vibrant display of a thousand cherry blossoms)" all of the sudden his blood glows and turns into spiritual energy, mixing with the tiny blades of his Bankai. This unites the scattered petals into complete glowing swords, numbering in the thousands that form four rows. These rows float just above the other, and circle around Byakuya and Gaara in a continuously moving, column-like array. "behold the true form of Senbonzakura Kageyoshi It abandons defense in favor of a concentrated offense and now vanish" a sword drops and stops in midair next to Byakuya's right arm

"Seems that I must fight you sword on sword" Gaara then turns to Kankuro and says "use Sasori and make me an iron sand sword would you please Kankuro?"

"Sure Gaara" says Kankuro as he summons Sasori again and makes the 3rd Kazekage appear and makes an iron sand sword and tosses to gaara who catches it he then charges Byakuya using Shikaku to keep the sword sharp and moldable Byakuya charges and the cross blades and then separate and repeat the process of attack and leap back then Byakuya charges and slices at gaara and pins his sword against the ground and then a separate sword falls down and falls into Gaara's foot and then Byakuya points his finger right on Gaara's chest and says

"Hado number 4 Byakuri" this time it goes right through Gaara as it is at close range

"How did you pierce my sand armor"

"Kido's strength decreases with distance so a blast from far away couldn't pierce your armor but a point blank one can"

"I see. How about this lets finish this"

"Alright" he and Gaara separate then the swords start to vanish and they condense into a single blade and his spiritual energy form around him and take the form of a pure white bird which encircle him and becomes halo-like. "Shukei Hakuteiken (Endscape white emperor sword)"

"Very impressive Byakuya Kuchiki now behold sand style: iron sand tipped drill" the sand around him condense into a drill and the iron sand from the sword shifts into the tip of the drill and surrounds his right arm and you feel both Byakuya's spiritual pressure as well as the power emanating from Gaara it is stunning though not as strong at the shikage it still leaves you speechless for a moment you then turn to Naruto and you say

"I though Ikkaku and Nnoitra's power was impressive but this is insane seems like they are really going to finish it with this attack"

"so it would seem" he responds in an awed voice

"any suggestions?"

"Don't blink"

"Don't blink?"

"if you do it will be over before you're finished"

"we shall see just who is the stronger"

"I guess we will" just then Byakuya and Gaara charge one another and you take to heed Naruto's advice and don't blink and then the two collide in an explosion of light and power and when it all clears Gaara and Byakuya are stand backs turned and for a second everything is still then Byakuya collapses bleeding heavily then Gaara does the same and it is clear that they are both down for the count then Kisuke says

"Well looks like it is a draw" the crowd cheers and both Byakuya get back up and take a bow then CJ jumps back down and says

"Alright folks now we are going to continue with the Chunin exams Kisuke take it away"
