TFK: Next chapter 4
So far I'm thinking of adding 3 of the following.
Lisa
Retsu
Rangiku
Nemu
Apacci
Mila Rose
Sun-Sun
About Naruto's girls. I will pick, but your opinion is important to me there are 7 up top but if a good number of you pick Tia's group then all 3 will count as 2 seeing as I don't think Tia would like it if Naruto only picked 1 or 2 of them and let the other 1 in the cold. Also I've decided that I'm going to add 4 more girls to Naruto's harem.
Also, about Ichigo, he will receive no more than 2 girls. Seeing as how he is not that kind of guy. And only Orihime and Rukia.
Orihime for sure maybe Rukia.
Kay, on to Naruto the White Fox
One more thing. I'm not one for 4 play in story mode so I'm going to get striate to the action. If you don't like it, sorry. So we'll get into the Soul Society in like 2 chapters. But for now...
Naruto vs. 13 captains
Naruto had just beaten the vice captains and some bold guy that was there. "You sure you want to do this again old man? Last time 26 came at me and only 1 survived. What is it you want!" Yamamoto just looked at Naruto with one only eye. "I'm trying to live a peaceful life here in the human world. You have no idea how hard it is do you? Why is it that you hunted me here?" Naruto asked.
"You will pay for the crimes you've committed." Yamamoto said sternly.
Naruto noticed that one of the captains was no longer there. He also felt a powerful spiritual signature coming from behind the captains on the ground. When he found it, she saw a somewhat familiar beautiful women tending to the wounds of the vice captains he just beat.
"You, Naruto Uzumaki, will be destroyed right here... right now!" Yamamoto yelled at him.
"If this is about what happen 800 some years ago, I'm sorry. I know that it will not change the fact that I killed those captains. But know that I am very sorry. More then you know." Naruto said in a somewhat sad manner.
"Then... would you come with us, peacefully?" Naruto saw the captain that was working on the others just now. Damn she was cute.
"No. I already know what would happen to me. You will kill me, and I can not die until I fulfill my promise to someone I made long ago when I died." Naruto said to her.
"If she is dead, odds are she is at the Soul Society right now." She said to him.
"I sure as hell hope not. I've been to that place, and it sucks. If that is heaven I'd hate to see hell. I've been to the Soul Society a few times looking for her. Looking for all of my friends and people I've considered family. I've looked for years there. Nowhere to be found." He told her in a calm yet still sad manner.
"You where at the Soul Society!" Yamamoto yelled. Not liking the idea that such a powerful hollow was right underneath their noses and they never knew.
"Yea, what of it? The people I'm looking for are not there. So I have no reason to go with you." Naruto told Yamamoto.
"If you are really sorry, you should atone for your crimes there." She asked again.
"You mind if I know your name? You're the first Soul Reaper that didn't attack me on site and has been kind hearted enough to not have a stressful conversation." Naruto asked the captain.
She just smiled at him.
"Enough talk. If you will not come with us willingly, then we will have to force you!" Yamamoto yelled.
"Really now?" Naruto pointed his blade at them. "Care to try it yourself? Last time you waited till all your friends were dead before you even got in the ring." Naruto looked at him dead in the eye. He was ready for an all out fight. Not that he wanted to fight them right now. If at all.
(Play Bleach OST - Invasion)
"Everyone back off." Juggernaut man stepped forward. "He's mine." He drew his Zanpakuto.
"Bring it." Naruto said to him.
Kenpachi charged Naruto, and just sidestep his attack. The 11th division captain didn't let up. He tried to cut Naruto's head off. But Naruto Sonido out of the way.
"Even at full power you can't hit me." Naruto said from behind him.
Kenpachi tried to do a 180 and cut him in half. With another Sonido, Naruto was again behind him.
"I gave you ample amount of time... this fight is done."
With one massively strong cut. Kenpachi was nearly cut in half. Still alive.
Naruto blocked the next captain's attack. This guy looked like a clown from hell.
"You would make an excellent test subject." He said creepy way.
Naruto's eye narrowed. "I'm not playing with you." Naruto wasted no time as he cut down the clown from hell. Shock was on the clowns face as he fell.
"Cry Suzumushi."
Naruto looked to his right. A black man unsheathed his Zanpakuto. He heard a high pitched sound. The other captains just looked on. At first, the black man had a small smile on his face. But that turned into a frown when the hollow before him didn't flinch or do anything.
"That... will not work on me." Naruto told him calmly.
"Very well hollow. How about this... Bell Bug Type Two: Flying Locust."
He started to move his sword. And what looked like after images followed his blade. Then to the surprise of Naruto, they all turned into blades. All of which launched at Naruto. Naruto just stood there waiting for them. They all hit Naruto, the speed was nothing to sniff at.
After a moment. Naruto forced them all away. Then with a Sonido, he was right behind the guy. "Nice try... but you... are done." Naruto with one good sword slash, cut down the black guy. Pride wounded. But still breathing.
"Tosen!"
A very big soul reaper with a large helmet yelled as he rescued the black guy, now known to Naruto as Tosen before he fell to the hard ground.
Naruto faced the giant Soul Reaper captain. "You shall pay hollow." He said in a strong rough voice.
"Try me. Men better than you have tried and failed." Naruto told him.
"Roar Tenken!" The large captain cried out.
A phantom blade came from his sword. All Naruto did was block it with his own. It was a surprise to be sure. But nothing that Naruto couldn't handle.
"AHHHHHHH!"
The phantom blade came down again. And again Naruto just used his Zanpakuto to block. Like it was as light as a feather.
The captain's angry got the best of him, and he was about to release Bankai. But stopped. Naruto was behind him. With a Sonido and his Zanpakutos own power, he cut into the captain. Then he too fell to the ground.
"A person like you, can't hope to face me..." Naruto turned to him as he was falling. "... if they cannot face themselves." He finished.
A man with a creepy smile that could resemble a fox, or a snake bending on who you talk too, charged at him next.
"Shoot to kill, Shinso" The man's very small and short Zanpakuto shot at Naruto like a bullet.
Naruto grabbed it with his left hand. The man's face fell to a frown. He struggled to move his blade from the vice grip that was Naruto's hand. Naruto bored with the captain already, Sonido past him. Cutting him down in the processes. He would live.
The quiet one came next. "Scatter, Senbonzakura." He said calmly.
"This again?" Naruto asked.
The Sakura pedals scattered all around them. Naruto sneered. He hated Sakura pedals. Nothing but bad memories with them.
"I don't want to play with you." He pointed one finger at him. "Despair Cero."
A pitch black cero fired faster than any other cero he has fired in memory. When it hit the captain devastation was evident. It looked like he was in a long drawn out fight. Burns and cut littered his body. As he was falling Naruto spook.
"Nothing against you personally. But your shikai bring up bad memories. Stuff I wish to forget, but can't." Naruto said to him.
Naruto felt the air around him get cold. It was the kid. Naruto looked at him. "Isn't it past your bed time?" He asked.
A tick mark formed on his head. "Reign over the Frosted Heavens Hyorinmaru!" The ice dragon came back for round two.
Naruto just looked at him. Not worried about the kid's power. "For one so young... you are powerful." Naruto commented. The ice dragon charged at Naruto. Naruto raised a hand to block. When the ice dragon hit, it looked like it hit a force field. Aside from Naruto's hand, it hit nothing else.
"Wha! But... how?"
"You know..." Naruto was right behind him. "...You remind me of an asshole... turned friend after I beat his ass..." The young captain was beyond shocked. "... and for that... this won't hurt as much." Naruto did one massively power kick to the head and he was sent flying. "I hope you're not hurt too badly." He said to the falling captain.
Next he effortlessly stopped a blade coming from his right. A captain wearing glasses attacked him.
"Beware of that one... he is far stronger than he lets on..."
Naruto heard a voice in his head. Normally a bad thing but he knew who it was. Naruto paid it no mind for the moment.
"You are powerful..." He got some distance from Naruto. "Do you mind looking at my sword?" He asked.
Naruto looked at his sword. Nothing special about it. "You're not a narcissist are you?" Naruto hated narcissists.
When all he did was smile Naruto cut him down. Not wanting to face the weak looking captain.
The next captain attacked him hand to hand. He smiled, he knew this one... and why not... it's time to mess with her.
"And what does my little bee want today?" He smiled... knowing that would piss her off faster than looking up her skirt ever could.
Soi Fon, in her rage, tried to stab him in the neck. But she missed.
"Over here... my little bee..." She felt a hand on her neck, then nothing at all as Naruto hit a pressure point making her go numb. He placed her on the roof of a building making sure that she didn't hit the ground.
Naruto did a half step to his right, facing the next 2 captains.
"All Waves, Rise now and Become my Shield, Lightning, Strike now and Become my Blade"
"Flower Wind Rage and Flower God Roar, Heavenly Wind Rage and Heavenly Demon Sneer"
Both Captains released their shikai.
Naruto looked at both captains and their Shikai. "Well now... that's a surprise. I have to use my next stage of power to fight the both of you..." Naruto raised his blade to point to them. "Up till now I've only been using 10% of my power... prepare yourself..." Naruto began to build up a massive amount of spiritual pressure. The last 4 captain's eyes widened. "Devastate and Despair... Forbidden Angel."
Black Spirit energy filled the surrounding area. Overwhelming was the only feeling and word for it.
Naruto's shikai came into view. It had an evil feel and look to it. "Come..." Naruto's vice had a slit echo.
The captain with the pink captain coat came at him first he attacked with his right blade first. Naruto black like it was nothing. When he attacked with his left blade Naruto stopped it with his left hand. Naruto kicked hit away and pointed his finger at him.
"Cero." A normal crimson cero fired at the captain.
Still flying from the kick he could not dodge, but he did have too. The other captain, with the long and somewhat sliver colored hair jumped in front of it. Rose both of his blades and the cero fired back at Naruto. Naruto raised an eye brow when he saw this. He raised his own Zanpakuto.
"Devastation!" Everyone saw the cero being absorbed. When it was over, Naruto's Zanpakuto had a sick purple color to it. And it seemed that its power had grown. "Despair!" He pointed the bolt of power to the captain that fired it back at him. Only for it to return to Naruto. This went on back and forth for a few minutes. The captain was surprised that this hollow had powers similar to his. But made it far stronger when it came to him. Naruto stopped the chain and Sonido pasted the captain. Both of his Zanpakutos broke. Then he was cut across from upper left to lower right. He would live, but would need bandages for a while. The other captain came to the aid of his friend. Naruto Sonido right in front of him with his blade still purple and above his head. When he brought it down the captain tried to block with both swords in a cross block. But Naruto's Zanpakuto cut right thru both of them like they were air. And right thru him, but he'll live.
Naruto breathed in slowly, dissipating the energy still stored in his Zanpakuto. Naruto then blocked an attack by the 2nd to last soul reaper captain.
"You don't seem like a hollow..." She said to him.
"And you don't seem like a soul reaper. So we're even." He joked back.
She tilted her head at his remark. "What do you know of soul reapers?" She asked nicely.
"Not much... but what I do know outside of their combat skills isn't a good thing. Their politics are nothing short of corrupted men in power. Solders that follow these corrupted men willingly and blindly to their death, and the deaths of innocents. Sadly, you are the same. A solder following the corrupt." He told her.
She looked shocked at what he just said. "You don't believe that? Do you?"
"Your kind persecutes hollows just for being who they are. Animals that eat. Yes I know that they eat human souls, but they are no different than any other animal on this planet. They eat to live. Not live to eat. But your kind kills the hollows just for being them." He took a breath. They were still face to face their blades in between them. "Then there are the unjust laws of the soul society. You call the soul society heaven. I call it the 2nd hell. No place like that should dare call itself heaven." He finished.
She looked at him in the eyes. "You... don't seem like the type to become a hollow." She observed.
Naruto tilted his head. "What do you mean by that?"
"Normally, hollows are either remorseful, or hateful. You are neither." She told him. "And even now you're not cold blooded or do you act like a monster." She told him.
He sighed. "Your right... I'm not the type. But many circumstances contributed to me becoming a hollow. When I was 12 or 13 I was sent to get my friend back when he left for power. Then, when I caught up to him he killed me so he could get more power. But all of my pain started at birth. When a soul reaper sealed inside me a great and powerful demon. The demon's soul was forever linked to mine. That helped a bit." Naruto looked down remembering this sad tale. "But, let me show you, not tell you."
Naruto used his left hand to touch her forehead. In an instant she saw all of his memories from birth to death. Flashes of the loneliness Naruto felt all of his life in a second. The pain of guilt and betrayal towards the end of his life by the person he saw as a brother and friend. And most of all, the pain of even greater betrayal when he saw what they did.
When they separated she was disoriented from all the memories. Saddened mostly.
"Sorry... I should have warned you about my memories. I'll give you a moment to collect yourself." Naruto put some distance between them.
(End Bleach OST - Invasion)
Then Nel Sonido right next to Naruto. The whispered something in his ear.
"It would seem our little fight will have to wait Yamamoto. We are causing too much trouble for the humans around us. We will meet again..." Both Sonido away.
"Damn it!" Yamamoto cursed. They had got away before they could fight. And what did he mean they were causing too much trouble for the humans around them. They had set up a barrier to protect the humans from their fight. He looked around. All most all of the captains and vice captains were injured. It would take time before any of them would be in fighting shape."We are returning to the Seireitei." Was all he said.
(With Naruto)
Naruto was carrying a knocked out Orihime while Nel was carrying a knocked out Tatsuki.
"I was afraid of this. Our very presence has caused a change in these girls. Orihime more than Tatsuki." Naruto told Nel.
"When will they realize their powers?" Nel asked.
"I don't know. Orihime will soon enough. Tatsuki a little later. Even in our gigai bodies they were exposed to our spirit energy. There is no telling what powers they will get." Naruto sighed. Then he felt Yamamoto and the rest leave the human world. "Well take them back, we need to be more careful from now on they know we are both here. So they will come for us sooner or later." Nel nodded.
"Do you think that they will forgive us?" Nel asked.
"It is not you that needs forgiveness." He told her. He brushed a few strands of hair out of Orihime's face.
(2 later Day at school)
Naruto was off to the side keeping an eye on Nel, Orihime and Tatsuki. He felt bad for interfering with their lives and now changing it forever. He would hope that they would forgive him in time. Then there was Yoruichi. She was pissed off at him. His past has come back to haunt him. He was going to see her either later today or tomorrow.
"Hey... why are you all the way out here?" Ichigo asked him.
"Oh. No reason. Just out here. Hey, do you know what's up with Chad's bird? It stopped talking." Naruto asked knowing full well what the answer was.
"There was a soul of a little boy in it. Killed the hollow and set the kid free." Ichigo explained.
"Oh. Good job." Naruto looked at him. "I see a lot of me in you."
"Hm?" Ichigo had the stupid look on his face.
"Pay it no mind. Let's just focus on that test soon yea?" Naruto laughed a bit.
"Yea, right. Come on. Orihime already misses you." Ichigo gave Naruto a hand getting up.
"Hey, Ichigo. I need to talk to you." Rukia came up to them.
"It's more soul reaper stuff I assume. Go on wonder boy." Naruto pushed Ichigo on Rukia, and he caused them to fall on each other. Something very comical to Naruto. "Rukia. You should wait till you get a room at least." Naruto laughed.
"HEY GET OFF ME!" Ichigo pushed Rukia off him.
"Ah~~~ I needed that." Naruto sighed.
The bell rang and it was time for the next class. The day ended with more laughs at Ichigo and Rukia's expense. Always 'accidently' tripping Ichigo on top or Rukia. Or 'accidently' tripping Rukia, that last one caused her to fall on his groin. Man he laughed so hard he felt his sides coming apart.
But laughing aside. He went to Kisuke's. Hoping to find Yoruichi and apologize to her for his crimes against her family. He made it, but it took almost all day. It's not every day to ask to apologize to someone you like for killing a family member.
Naruto has been waiting outside Kisuke's shop for some time now. Waiting for Yoruichi to either come out or go inside. She never did either. Naruto sighed. He'd try to ask Kisuke but something told him that he wouldn't say anything.
That night the news said something about a kid jumping across roofs. He knew he wasn't spotted. Then on closer look, it was Ichigo.
"What the hell possessed him to do that?" Naruto asked out loud.
Somewhere else a small stuffed lion sneezed.
Naruto went to sleep. And sometime in the night he felt Nel sneaking in again. Not that he minded it. I mean, what man in his right mind would turn Nel down. No man that's who. Anyway Nel snuggled up to Naruto. He still remembered the very first talk they had, after she had gotten over the death of her 'brothers'. It had taken some time. But she was happy.
(Flashback)
Naruto was giving Nel a piggy back ride. Or just Nel was hanging on the top of his head. Al they ever did was walk in a straight line. Never to move right or left.
"Big brother..."
"Yes Nel?"
"Why does big brother Naruto protect Nel?"
Naruto looked up a bit. As if to try to look at her. "Well... before I met you, I had no purpose. No reason for being. I had all this power, and nothing to do with it. No one to protect with it. Long ago, when I was alive, someone told me what true strength is. I took that advice to heart." He smiled. "You are my purpose. My one reason for being. And I will protect you... no matter what Nel. And that's a promise." He smiled.
"Promise?" She raised her right pinky.
Naruto connected it with his own. "Promise."
(End Flashback)
Although they have grown apart from brother and sister as they once had in Hueco Mundo. They acted more like a couple. He wrapped his arms around her.
"Good night Nel." He said to her. 'Come to think of it. Why do I have two beds when we share one?'
(At the Seireitei)
Yamamoto was beyond furious. Almost all of his captains and vice captains were unable to do their duties for a time. And rumors were going around the place of an invincible hollow that defeated all of the captains without any hardship.
"Captain Commander..." He heard the 4th division captain's voice. "... my I come it?" She asked.
"Yes you may." He told her. Captain Commander Yamamoto was looking over the Seireitei as he always does.
"Sir... that man was the same hollow that came to the human world 800 years ago right? I remember the blue eyes on that hollow." She told him.
"Yes... it was. On that day the Soul Society lost 25 good soul reapers." A piece of history that was forgotten. "The two of you talked when you fought. What information did you get out of him?"
She looked sad. "That is what I'm here to talk to you about. I got everything from his past. Also some things I didn't want to know."
She began to tell him everything she saw and heard from him. By the end of it, she could barley hold her tears replaying what she saw. Yamamoto just listened. "Thank you for telling me this. You may go back to your barracks."
(The next day)
Naruto and Nel were walking to school with Orihime. Nel and Orihime were talking like they always do in the morning. Tatsuki caught up to them, she hang out with Naruto doing the walks. Naruto withheld a sneer. It wasn't that he hated or disliked Tatsuki. But being near him made her a target for hollows. Her spiritual awareness will grow. It was too late for Orihime as it is. But Nel still held back all the spirit energy she could. Naruto did the same. But these gigai can't hold back his. Nel's yes. But not his. His spirit energy is too great.
"Hey... you ok?" She asked.
"Yes." He said plainly. "Just thinking about something." He said to her.
"About what?"
"Nothing that you'd be interested in. Oh look, where here." He said in somewhat relief voice.
The group saw a bunch of guys hide from them. Most likely the guys Naruto beat up on their first day. All the rest were angry at him for have 3 hot girls all around him. He laughed at their pain. When they got to class they sat in their chairs. Naruto still thinking. Everyone in this class might be spiritual aware by the end of the year if he stays here. So he can't. Orihime and Chad would be first. Tatsuki next. Ichigo's power will grow because of him, not a bad thing Naruto hoped. Then there was this other guy who Naruto could tell was spiritual aware. He was fairly strong. Strong enough to make Naruto actual look at him if he attacked. But nothing more than that. But he seemed to have more control of his power than Ichigo has. Ichigo's spirit energy is like an overflowing river. This guy was calm. But Naruto didn't care. He still had to find Yoruichi and apologize to her. He was going to find her this time. Then Ichigo walked in. A little different than his normal 'tough guy' attitude.
"Hey Orihime, how you doing." He said nicely.
A red flag went off in Naruto's head. Ichigo... nice? That didn't add up at all.
"Um...? Great!" She yelled. But worried about Ichigo, Naruto could tell from her body language. I mean it's not every day that Ichigo is willingly nice.
"That's great. Hey Naruto, Rukia, Nel, Chad. How about you guys?"
"Hey what about us!" One of Ichigo's other friends yelled.
"Oh yea, how are you two doing?" He asked.
Naruto thought about it. Even though he hasn't known him for very long. Naruto could tell that Ichigo wasn't normally nice to anybody. His tough guy act was just that. An act, he was hiding something. But it was not his place to pry into the kid's life.
"Why is Ichigo being so nice today?" Orihime asked. Nel was wondering that herself.
Tatsuki looked like she thought of something. "Hey, what day is it?" She asked.
"June 17th. Why?" Chizuru answered and asked.
"Oh... that explains it." She said out loud.
"That explains what?" Naruto asked opening his book.
"Oh, nothing." That nothing, said everything to nothing.
"Nothing says a lot more than everything Tatsuki." He said to her not looking up.
"Yea... it does." She finished.
Naruto and Nel walk with Tatsuki and Orihime to their apartment. Rain clouds threatened to pour on them. Naruto had them move faster before they got drenched in the storm. Both Naruto and Nel could feel a hollow. A somewhat strong one going by normal standers. But Naruto felt Ichigo's spirit energy in the area. He'll deal with it. They made it home right before it started to rain. Personal, Naruto liked the rain. It was something that didn't happen in Hueco Mundo.
"Tatsuki... why was Ichigo so nice today?" Nel asked.
Tatsuki had a thoughtful look on her face.
"Well... it started on June 17th, on a raining day like this. When Ichigo and his family lost their mother." Tatsuki began her story of what she knew about Ichigo. How Ichigo was a former cry baby. Who he couldn't fight worth a damn. But most of all. How he blames himself for his mother's death on a raining day like this one. On June 17th. Naruto thought about it.
"Idiot." Naruto said out loud. "He blames himself for something he thinks he caused. Thinking like that will make him depressed."
The other girls looked at Naruto.
"Come to think of it. What are your stories Naruto, Nel?" Tatsuki asked. "I mean, you just drop out of the blue. And no one knows a thing about you two." Tatsuki finished.
Naruto thought about that. He knew this would come up. So he thought had thought about a lie for the both of them. He inwardly smiled. "Well, our parents were friends when they were our age. Both of our parents were. They got married had us, and we were friends since 5 years old. We grew up together." Naruto looked sad and sighed. "Then, when we were 13, we were in a car crash with a drunk driver. Our parents were killed. Leaving us behind. But we stuck together to get over our loss. And together we managed to." He told them a lie. A rather convincing one.
Both Orihime and Tatsuki cried for them. It was sad to tell a lie to both Tatsuki and Nel. But it was better than the truth that they had. It was the week soon so he had time to find Yoruichi. He would search for her then. But for now, he would enjoy the special dinner that Orihime made just for today. Although, everyone would consider it special if they weren't use to it.
The following weekend Naruto went on the hunt for Yoruichi. Wanting to say he was sorry for what he did to her. He would always regret his bloody past. But there was nothing to do about it. It was set in stone and nothing could change it. He followed her spirit energy. It was hard to follow. She was good at hiding it. Add that to the fact he always sucked at stuff like this, and you have a hell of a problem finding her. Then let's add that he is in his spirit form so he is at risk of being spotted by the soul society place. Just one problem after another. He sighed. He knew this wasn't going to be easy. But he sure as hell didn't think it was going to be so hard. Naruto had just about given up when he felt her spirit energy spike for a moment. Most likely from transforming into her human form. Not wanting to waste his opportunity he honed in on the place where he felt it. He came to a ware house near the edge of the city. Seemed to be abandoned for some time now. He went inside to search for her, not wanting to waste this chance. He walked in and found nothing and no one. He was sure that she was here. Then what looked like a big trap door opened up. Naruto looked at it with a hint of suspicion. I mean, it's not every day that a door opens up near you in a place that screams 'danger'. Regardless Naruto went in. What he found surprised him. It was the training field that Kisuke has.
"Greetings Naruto..." Naruto heard Yoruichi's voice. "...I thought you'd come." He voice didn't sound angry of hateful. It was full of, and her smirk, evil intentions. But not real evil. The kind of evil a women is capable of when she is not about to kill you. "Now then... are you ready?" She said with as much evil as she could. As about 8 other strange looking people came into his view. One with a very creepy smile.
(With Nel)
"That's strange?" Nel said out loud.
"What is?" Orihime asked.
"Well, I just thought that Naruto was in trouble, but it must be my imagination." She said getting back to her dinner. Happily eating with Orihime.
(Back with Naruto)
All around Naruto was the bodies of the beaten up people that were the Vizard. Or so Naruto thought. Naruto had beaten all of them. But they were thought.
Yoruichi hopped down to him.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry."
Yoruichi walked up to him.
*BANG*
Naruto was on the floor holding his groin in pain. While Yoruichi was hopping around holding her foot.
"That hurt!" Yoruichi yelled.
"That's my line!" Naruto said rolling around.
"What the hell did I just kicked!" She yelled.
Naruto managed to smile as he smiled. "My balls of steel." Naruto and Yoruichi laughed a bit.
After a time of healing needed for both of them. Naruto sat next to Yoruichi on a rock.
"I am really sorry... Yoruichi. I knew my bloody past would come back to haunt me. He got on his hands and knees next to her and placed his head on the ground. "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..."
She looked at him. He was apologizing whole heartedly. She could feel the regret come off him.
She tapped him on the shoulder to get up. He did. She then hugged him. "Me kicking you in the groin what my way of saying, apology accepted."
Naruto sighed in relief. 'I hope I don't have to say I'm sorry again.' He thought to himself.
(1 Week Later)
It had been a week sense Yoruichi had forgiven him. Good thing too. he couldn't take any more hits to his manhood. He Nel and Orihime have gotten closer, so that was good. Ne also got a new trick up his sleeve. Always nice thing to have. It had been quite for the most part. Nothing bothering Him or Nel. Only low level hollows coming out to play with Ichigo. He was walking alone, thinking about what the soul reapers could be up to. Nel is with Orihime and Tatsuki. As well as Chizuru cleaning up a mess. Chizuru has been out of heat, as Tatsuki called it, since his little talk with her. If she wishes to make advances at Orihime he'd let her. No harm in it. He was about to walk in the apartment building when the wind shifted. He had caught the scent of something.
"Hollow Bait." He said out loud.
He ran into his room, stabbed himself with a little dagger to get out of his gigai. He hoped in the air and looked around. Many hollows. A lot more than any little hollow bait canister would lure out. All around he felt hollows. But, he felt Ichigo and a few others fighting them off. But his thoughts ended when he felt a few others behind him. They had the same type of energy as Nel and as Tia. He turned around and saw 6 men.
The first one that was the strongest was a pale white skin Arrancar. Short, with black hair. The next one looked kind of stupid in his opinion. He had what he thought looked like a fan behind his head. Almost looked like a pirate himself. He was the 2nd strongest of the group. But most likely the dumbest. Next one was similar to the last and only parley weaker than him. He had a bone jaw on the side of his mouth with light blue hair. Nothing other than that really jumped out at Naruto. Next up was a black Arrancar with what looked a bone mask fragment around his neck. Weaker than the one before but not the weakest. The 2nd to last made him sneer. This Arrancar had pink hair. Neff said. The last one was the weakest of them all. A very big Arrancar that made body builder's look like pansies. He had a jaw like mast fragment around his neck. But was by far the weakest in the group.
"Well now... what can I do for 6 Arrancars today?" Naruto asked politely.
"Greetings White Fox. My name is Ulquiorra Schiffer. We would be honored if you would join us back to Hueco Mundo for a short time." The Pale one asked Naruto.
"Hm?" Naruto looked at Ulquiorra. "I assume that you're the leader. Seeing as you're the smart one." Naruto commented. "Well, I'm afraid I must decline." Naruto pointed behind him. "Some of our less than civil brethren are attacking the city right now. So I'll deal with them first." Naruto told them. "But why do you want me to come with you anyway?" Naruto raised an eye brow.
"We wish for you to come with us now. We have someone who would like to speck with you White Fox." The pale Arrancar said again.
"This is the guy we were told to find? This guy doesn't look too tough." One of them said. It was the annoying looking one. The one with the eye patch.
"And none of you look like you can put a scratch on me. So what's your point." Naruto retorted.
"Errrr! That's it! He dies now!"
Naruto looked at the eye patch one like he was crazy.
"Nnoitora... be careful if you wish to fight the White Fox." Ulquiorra told the guy.
He continued to smile. "I am Nnoitora Jiruga. I am the 5th Espada!" He drew his double crescent moon long Zanpakuto. "Now prepare to die!"
"Why do all bad guys say that right before they fight a guy and then get their ass beat?" Naruto said from behind the group. Nnoitora was now one arm short.
"You... YOU ASSHOLE!" He charged at Naruto with his good arm.
"Such a pathetic being you are... at least you can fall to the group with what little dignity you have before you attacked me." Naruto cut him again. Almost in half. He would live to fight another day.
The guy with light blue hair attacked next. Naruto blocked his sword strike with his arm. And with one massive punch Naruto sent the Arrancar flying. "Came at me again... when your stronger than you are now." He told the man.
Next up was the black guy. He was fast compared to all others he has faced aside from Retsu and the old man. The guy made 4 copies of himself. But Naruto was not impressed. Compared to him, this guy was slow. One good hard punch to the skull and he flew to the ground.
The next one was the pink one. "I don't want to play with you..." He even pulled out his blade and nearly cut the pink one in half. "... I hate you hair color. It reminds me of the reason I became a hollow." Naruto said to the bleeding Arrancar.
The big guy was next. He tried to punch Naruto with his massive fist. Naruto didn't even bother to move. As the attack was stopped a few feet away from Naruto himself. Ulquiorra was integer. He felt a massive amount of spirit energy all around the blond. He was thinking about what the White Fox just did.
"Like it big guy? I call it Steel Air. Needs a better name. Bit it's like the Arrancar Steel skin just applied to the air around me. I tell you this because none of you could make it. The amount of spirit energy needed to sustain this for any amount of time is above what any of you can do." Naruto explained. Then Naruto chopped off the right arm of the Arrancar.
"AHHHH! You asshole!"
"Were leaving." The pale one said to the others. "This is no point to fight the White Fox. If we do, we are dead. We will meet again... Naruto Uzumaki."
"Before you go Ulquiorra. Tell whoever you master is, next time, come himself." Naruto threatened.
Ulquiorra Sonido along with the rest of the Arrancar.
Naruto looked around. He saw a Gillian. He was more annoyed than scared. He was annoyed because even though he left out some of his power, hollows were still coming. Meaning one of 2 things. 1: He hasn't let out enough power to scare them. Or 2: Something is controlling the hollows. Like the Arrancar maybe. He would have to solidify his power over all hollows sooner or later to prevent this from happening ever again. But for now, Naruto Sonido to the place where he felt spiritual pressure. It was Ichigo's and some other guys. When he got a good look at him, he was somewhat surprised but not really. But what he was really surprised at was Ichigo's plan of dealing with the Gillian. He face faulted. But the sadder thing. Sadder than Ichigo's plan. What the simple 3 word sentence that was all too true.
"I was worse." Naruto said to himself. He almost cried when he admitted it. But he was brought out of his musings when he felt Ichigo's spiritual pressure spike. "Impressive..." Then the Gillian was cut from head to toe. "... Most impressive."
The Gillian started to retreat. "Oh no you don't." Naruto Sonido right in its face. "No don't get to come here and just leave because you want too." Naruto instantly destroyed the Gillian. Then repaired the hole in the sky. Although that took him a little time. He landed near Ichigo and the other guy as he never really got the kids name.
"Hey Ichigo. How is it that a shit load of hollows all at once, decided to come out and play tag with you?" Naruto asked in a calm manner. "Did you fuck up again?" Naruto joked.
"Hey! It's not my fault it was... uh?" Ichigo all of the sudden fell to the floor. His spiritual pressure going berserk. Naruto knew the kid was done unless someone helped him. Before he could, the kid next to him started to collect his spirit energy and started shooting it into the air. Naruto just watched as Ichigo's power started to stabilize. He was intrigued. He knew this kid was in their class. And spiritual aware but he nether soul reaper or hollow. Nor was his powers. When Ichigo's powers started to settle Naruto approached him.
"I know where in the same class, but I never did catch your name." Naruto asked civilly.
He pushed up his glasses and said. "I am Uryu Ishida." He said.
"Oh, now I remember. You were number one today in the test results. Right?" Naruto asked.
"Yes. But I am no friend to you, soul reaper. I hate soul reapers." He told him
"Wow, we can be great friends. I hate soul reapers too." Naruto told him.
This got Uryu to tilt his head. "But..."
"My Zanpakuto? Don't bother trying to figure it out. You are far too young to even temp such a thing. For now, I'll look after wander boy. You should go home. Get your wounds tended too."
Naruto put Ichigo over his shoulder and headed off to Kisuke's place. It didn't take long to get there. Rukia looked at him with fear in her eyes. She had never seen anyone aside from a captain destroy a Gillian before.
"Oh don't look so shocked. That Gillian was nothing. It was still eating low level hollows so it was a new born." He told her. "I told you before. I have defeated things with more power than most beings in this world and the next. Now do you believe me?" Naruto said a little playfully. "And Rukia, no need to look at me with fear. I'm your friend." He gave his foxy smile. "And I'll protect you as such. I may have been a little quiet, but I'm friendly." He said.
"NARUTO!"
"Hm?"
Naruto was soon being hugged by Nel. She was giving him the Pleasant hug of DOOM.
"Nel... can't... breathe... dying..." Naruto soon past out from lack of oxygen.
After Naruto came too he saw Chad and Orihime next to him. "I see... I thought that you two would come around and be spiritual aware." Naruto said out loud. "You two are powerful for just becoming part of this world. Not surprising." Naruto said to them.
"You knew?" Chad asked.
"Yes. You hang out with me and Ichigo almost daily. It wouldn't have been a problem if Ichigo wasn't attacked one night by a hollow. But that's the breaks. When I also came along and you hung out with me, my spirit energy that leaks from me went into those around me. But you, having a run in with a hollow before, absorbed more of it than most." He told Chad. "As for you Orihime. Me and Nel live right next to you and we hang out every day. It was only a matter of time before your powerful came to the surface." He told her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I got you two into this." He said to them.
"No need to say you're sorry Naruto." Orihime told him.
"That's right. This would have happened with, or without you. But it's better with you here.
Chad said.
"Thanks. How's wonder boy?" Naruto asked.
"Ichigo is doing fine. For now. He'll make it. Thanks to Uryu." Naruto heard the male voice of Yoruichi.
"I see." Naruto thought about his little encounter with the Arrancars. Someone was differently controlling the hollows other than him. He could accept one maybe two perfect Arrancars. But not 7 or so. He got up. "You guys should go home. Things are about to get ugly and you 2 will be thrown in the middle of it. I suggest you go home and get some sleep. It will be for the best. Nel, walk Orihime home." He said to them. Nel nodded before he left.
Naruto followed Yoruichi into Kisuke's training area.
"Have you've been working on your new trick?" She asked.
"Yes. I have." He was now behind her. What he did was neither Sonido nor Flash Step. "I call it EkÅfurasshu, or Echo Flash. It's faster than Sonido or Flash step combined. And is silent. Unlike Sonido. Also twice the range as either of them. Making it the best instant movement." He explained to her.
"Echo Flash, nice. Can anyone learn it?" She asked
"No, not anyone. I could teach it to those Vizard guys I beat up and Nel. But only because they have soul reaper and hollow powers. The Vizard can only use it when they have the mast on. Nel could use it whenever. But it would take a lot out of her as of now. She is still not at full power. I'm amazed myself." He said. "I expected her to be at full power by now. Either she hasn't recovered as fast as I thought she would or she has more power than I thought." He shrugged.
Yoruichi looked surprised. "You serious? I mean, she's almost as strong as me. And almost as fast. And you're saying she's not at full power?" Yoruichi's eyes widened at that thought.
"Yes, it would seem. But I'm not surprised." He said blocking another one of her attacks.
"Why not?" She asked.
"Because anyone and everyone near me will get stronger slowly but surely. Even you. Anyone who was spiritual aware how was near me will naturally get stronger. And Nel was near me, hell, she was piggy back on me for 100 or so years. At full power, she'd probably give 3 of those captains a run for their money. At once." He summarized.
"I see." She tried to hit his face. But he blocked it. "What about me? Will I get stronger?" She asked a little sly like.
"Yes. Even thou we have only known each other for about 2 or so mouths, you have been a close proximity to me for the time. So you will get stronger. Even wonder boy, Orihime and Chad will get stronger." Naruto's eyes widened. "Sorry, we have to cut this short." Naruto said to her as he did an Echo Flash.
Yoruichi just looked at where he was. "I so need to learn that." She said. "He might just be the God of Flash to go with the Goddess of Flash." She said to herself.
(With Naruto After Ichigo got his ass beat)
Naruto appeared in a flash. He instantly noticed two things. One, both wonder boy and Uryu were down for the count. He looked away from them to see Rukia, standing with the silent captain, or the stick up the ass captain, and the red head vice captain.
"Hello Rukia, stick up the ass captain, short tempered vice captain. How can I help you while you are in my part of the human world?" Naruto asked.
To their credit, nether one flinched or even showed signs of running away like a little bitch.
"This does not concern you ... hollow." The silent one spoke first.
"That's right. This is official soul reaper business." The red head said.
"You're weaker." Naruto stated. "And it dose concern me. Rukia is a friend of mine. As well as a friend of wonder boy over there. So your official soul reaper business just became my business." Naruto told them.
The two of them began to sweat. The red head more than the captain.
Naruto began thinking. Too many things didn't add up.
'Let them go... Naruto.' Naruto heard his inner voice.
'Why?' Naruto asked.
'The stronger one of these two is blinded by the glasses one's power. And I doubt that he knows.' His inner voice told him.
'Then...?'
'An old saying in this world and the one you came from. There is a fox guarding the hen house.'
'I see.' Naruto took what he heard to heart. He should have killed the glasses guy then. But he would wait. "I suggest you go. Before I decide to stop you." He told them.
"Your letting us go?" The short tempered one looked shocked. "Why?"
"I have my reasons. Reasons you wouldn't understand. But..." Naruto held up one finger. "... Don't get comfortable. I'm sure wonder boy will come for her." He pointed to Rukia. "Because that's just the type of person he is."
"Then he'll die." The captain stated.
"I don't know so. I know that he will beat both of you. He will save Rukia. And he will live, to talk about it. Not that he will talk about it." He told them.
"What makes you think he will? Hollow." The red head said.
Naruto sighed. "I already told you. I am not... a hollow. As for how I know. Because that's what I would have done in his place." Naruto swung Ichigo over his shoulder. And did the same with Uryu. "This young one is a lot like me. He will come for her when he is ready. And just because I know it's going to be fun. I'm going to come along with Nel. She needs to get some real fight time under her belt." Naruto smiled at the two soul reapers discomfort. "I look forward to our visit to the soul society. I can't wait." Naruto used Echo Flash to leave the three to their thoughts.
"Captain, do you think he will come to the soul society?" The young red head asked.
"Let's go Rukia." He didn't bother answering. As they both know that the blond would make good on his word.
(With Naruto)
Naruto had put both of the injured boys on the ground. "Think you can heal them?" He asked Kisuke.
"Oh but how can I do that? I'm but a simple candy store owner." He brought out his fan. Naruto gave him a blank look. "Yes, I can fix him up. But he has lost his soul reaper powers."
"That is what the 'fix him' part is. I'm sure you can fix that too. As for me and Nel. We need to train. Well, Nel more so then me. We're going to the Vizard place. She needs to train with captains again. And Yoruichi will be busy with the others. So~~~ yea." He said.
"Well how will you get them to train with you?" Kisuke asked.
Naruto gave an evil smile. "Oh~~~ I have my ways." His evil smile became more evil
(In the warehouse district)
"What are we doing here Naruto?" Nel asked.
"Oh just watch my beautiful centaur." Naruto cleared his mouth. "I am here once again to beat up on soul reaper rejects ass. If you do not comply I will have to come in and hunt for you in the in your shity shack you call a home." Naruto finished.
Nel looked Naruto with a lost look on her face.
"3... 2... 1..." Naruto counted down.
The long metal door swung open. Violently. "What did you say you mother fucker!" Some short blond haired girl yelled.
"Oh, so the short tempered little girl of the group has come to greet us. Did you get the short end of the stick today?" Naruto smiled as the short one's face got all red.
"Hi!" Nel yelled out. "I'm Neliel Tu Oderschvank. Nel for short. Nice to meet you!"
When the others came, not one of them looked happy to see him again. All he did was smile. "Hello. Mind if we stay here for a while?" Naruto forced his way in. Much to the sneering of most of the occupants.
Nel just looked at Naruto in her normal expression. "Naruto did you poke the hornets' nest?" She asked. Not really getting the human saying. But for some reason, fit so well here.
(Soul Society)
"He didn't attack you?" The head captain asked the 6th division captain.
"Yes. That's right. He came, picked up the human boys and left us." He started. "However, he did say one thing before he left."
The head captain looked at him. "And that being?" He was fearful on the inside.
"That the boy will come to save the fugitive. And he will come too. Along with someone he calls Nel." One of the captains eyes widened. "One can only assume that it is the green haired women we saw with him." The glasses captain's eyes widened again.
"Thank you for your report. I want everyone on high alert. I don't want this hollow to get the jump on us again. Report any suspicion of hollow activity in the soul society. I want this hollow killed. And so does central 46. Dismissed. Captain Retsuwait a moment."
All of the other captains left the head captain spoke with the 4th division captain. "I understand that you might hesitate because of the images the hollow showed you. I want you to know that those can easily be faked. Do not be fooled by it. He is a hollow. Plain and simple. No matter how much he looks human, no matter how many times he says he is sorry for what he has done, he is a hollow to the core. Now, and forever. Until we deal with him. I want you to think on this. You are dismissed." He finished.
She nodded and left.
Yamamoto had hoped that whatever she does, she doesn't help the hollow because she might feel sorry for it.
As for Retsu, she just doesn't know what to think anymore. At first she thought that Naruto's words didn't have any truth to them when it came to the corrupt part. But now she might think that he might be right. Even though she would follow orders, is she just following the ones who follow the corrupt? She just didn't know.
As for Captain Commander Yamamoto, he was thinking something else. "We shall finish our battle Naruto Uzumaki... And I will finally lay to rest my friends that you have killed."
