TFK: Next chapter 5
Ok, I know who I'm going to pair Naruto up with, but it's a secret
But the ones you know are
Yoruichi
Sot Fon
Nel
Tia
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 are interested in him.
Orihime for sure maybe Rukia.
Kay, on to Naruto the White Fox
Training and infiltration
Naruto was setting on a rock reading a book a very familiar orange book. All the while Nel was training with the Vizards. She was training in order to get her strength back and prepare for the fight against the soul society. It may not have known Rukia for all that long. But he knows that Ichigo will go and Orihime will go along with him. That is why Naruto is going to the soul society no other reason but to make sure that Orihime, Ichigo and whoever else decides go will be safe.
"Tell me again why you're here?" The short tempered imp said.
Naruto just looked up from his book to see the short tempered Vizard in front of him. "I'm here to oversee the training of Nel, make sure she's at full power and able to defend herself against the soul society captains. And no other reason. We will leave when wonder boy is ready to go and rescue Rukia from their corrupted justice system but just now what I said earlier... I meant every word of it." Naruto just laughed a bit as he use one hand to keep the little short tempered Vizard at bay. She was wind milling her arms trying to hit Naruto as he just leaned on her still reading his book.
As for Nel training with Lisa and Love so she could get back in fighting shape like she has with Yoruichi. As for Lisa she was surprised that the Arrancar's power, and yet Naruto said she wasn't at full power? How could she not yet full power? The amount of power she had already was ridiculous she can easily go to toe to toe with two of them at full power. She could easily face a Captain Soul reaper no problem. Just what kind of power does this girl have? Lisa wondered, if she was this powerful now, just how powerful she would be at full power and scarier yet just how powerful are the opponents that their fighting if Naruto believes that she is not strong enough to fight the soul society. So many questions and so little answers.
"Naruto I have a question if I may."
Naruto looked up from his book to the person who asked him the question. It was that freaky guy with a smile. "Sure Shinji what's up?"
"Well I just have to ask... Just what are you? You are not soul reaper nor are you hollow. And neither is she. So this begs the question, just what are you two?" Shinji said with a stern face and not his big grin face.
Naruto looked at him for a moment, he then close his book and looked up at Shinji. "Do you really want to know? What we are is both similar and dissimilar from you." Shinji nodded. "Very well then I will explain Nel first. She is Arrancar a hollow that ripped off its mask and gained the powers of the soul reaper. She is like you just the reverse version Shinji. Just how you are soul reaper again the powers of a hollow there is only one simple difference, you are mostly soul reaper and part hollow while she is mostly hollow and part soul reaper." Naruto explained to him.
"All right what about you you're neither Arrancar nor Vizard." Shinji asked
"You are right. I am neither Arrancar nor am I Vizard. I'm a new breed altogether, half soul reaper half hollow stronger than both. I call my race the Forsaken, and that's all I'm willing tell you about me and Nel. Seeing as you don't fully trust me or her and I don't fully trust you, or your other Vizard friends. Nothing personal I just need to the lookout for her you understand." Naruto looked up to see Nel breathing hard facing down two of the Vizard. "Nel that is all for today we should go home.
"Okay Naruto!" She yelled happily.
The Vizards were looking at their retreating forms. "So you think can we trust them?" Shinji asked the rest of his group.
"I don't know they are powerful different and the same all altogether. It's hard to form an accurate opinion of them after simply two meetings." A big pink haired man said.
"I don't trust them!" Said the short one.
"The only don't trust them because you don't like that and they make fun of your height." Another girl of the group said in a low tone of voice.
"And you only trust him because he writes those books!" The short one yelled at her female companion.
"So... their works of art." Lisa said while reading a book.
(With Naruto and Nel)
Naruto and Nel were walking home. Naruto was happy with Nel's training progress. She would be at full power in a week tops.
"So Naruto…"
"Yes?"
"I'm just wondering… Would you think of me?" She asked someone hopefully.
Naruto almost tripped at that question. He really didn't know how to answer that question. This was beyond dangerous waters he was trading. One wrong answer and it was centaur mode up his ass.
"Well uh... You see... I..."Naruto's eyes widened as he felt the presence nearby. 'Yes! Saved by interference!' Naruto yelled in his mind. It's not like he didn't like Nel. It's just a would've been awkward to answer that."You may come out now. I know your there." Naruto said out loud.
Just behind Nel and Naruto. A spiky blond haired woman came out of an alley way. "I'm surprised to see you again... former 3rd Espada." She said.
"Tia... good to see you too." Nel said in a serious manner.
Naruto looked at Nel... then at Tia. He crossed his hands over his chest pointing at them. "Do you two know each other?" Naruto asked.
"Yes." The both said.
"Oh. So how do you know each other?" Naruto asked once again.
"See was once an Espada. The 3rd Espada." Tia answered.
Naruto looked a little shocked at first. "Is that true?" He asked her.
She looked down and nodded slowly and sadly.
"I was a new born Arrancar when I heard of her. Many female hollows looked up to her, she was powerful and she didn't act like a savage like most men do." Tia continued. "I guess it's fitting really." She started unzipping her jacket. Naruto was about to cover his face, out of respect and much to his frowning a beautiful women is about to take off her top and he's covering his eyes, that's when he saw her chest. It was covered by her mask fragment. A 3 tattooed on her right breast. "Soon after you betrayed us, I took your spot, as the 3rd Espada." The wind blew around them.
"So why are you here Tia? I doubt it's your here to fight. You know that you can't beat me. I am the Majesty Vasto Lorde of Hueco Mundo. No one... can defeat me."
"The lord I serve can. He has heard of you. And he has developed a way to defeat you. But even I do not know what it is." Tia said.
"Are you here to threaten me with such knowledge? Or did you come here to warn me?" Naruto asked with a smile. Tia said nothing. "For there is a way to defeat me. Only one with the power to do it. I know what it is. I know what needs to be done. And no I know your lord that you serve does not have it the means to use it. Whoever he is... he is weak, if he sends a massager to warn me."
"I came here on my own accord. No one forced me to come here." Tia answered one of his questions without knowing it.
"Oh? Then that begs the question... why are you here then? If your lord had sent you, you wouldn't warn me about your master's ability to kill me, and by the way I know you're master doesn't have it. Then why are you here?" He asked once more. His perverted mind wanted her to come and see him. Because she had fallen head of heels for him. But he didn't want to jump to any conclusions.
"I'm here to satisfy my own curiosity." Naruto mentally pouted. "How are you the King of Hueco Mundo when you act more like a child?" She asked him.
He smiled. "Because I can." Tia looked lost. "Why act like an ass clown like that wanna-be king what's his face? If I did, if I was not like how I am now, had I not have evolved to this state I would have led the hollows of Hueco Mundo to war against the Soul Reapers and won. Then tried to kill the Spirit King because he's a lazy ass. He let his creation do what it wants and look how that turned out. Soul Reapers think themselves as the good beings in this world. But they are swords welded by evil men." Naruto looked mad at something.
"I see..." Tia closed her jacket. "That is all I want to know. Thank you White Fox." She bowed.
"No need to call me White Fox Tia, just call me Naruto." Naruto smiled at her.
She nodded and left them. "So... Nel, something you want to talk about?" He asked Nel, who looked down once again.
"At home first Naruto. I... I regained my memories... and..." Nel was on the verge of tears.
"That's why you asked me that question." She nodded. "Then let's go home. We will talk there." He used Echo Flash them home. Not wanting to walk anymore. That and this was important.
At their home both Nel and Naruto sat in silence. Sipping tea.
"So..." Naruto started.
Nel looked like she didn't want to say anything. "It happened when you faced off against some of Aizen's Espada. I remembered what happened to me. To my friends... who died..." She said quietly. "When you saved me. Cared for me. Restored me to my form now." She continued. "I'll tell you everything you need to know about Aizen and his army of Arrancars."
"I don't think that will help much. Your information is over 100 years old. Back where I'm from, old information is worse than no information. Just continue to pretend to not have your memories back." He smiled at her. "Oh, and to answer your question, on what I think about you... I think your beautiful, kind, funny, and most of all..." He got an evil smile, light lit up his face in an evil manner. "... extremely... ticklish."
"No, no, no HA ha ha ha ha! Stop it! HA HA HA HA HA!" Nel was laughing uncontrollable. Then she was silenced by Naruto kissing her. She moaned into the kiss.
Naruto ended it. "No matter what Nel, I'll never think anything less of you." He told her with a smile.
She got big and teary eyed and hugged him. "Thank you... thank you! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!" She kept repeating. Naruto comforted her as he always did and always will.
"No need to cry Nel, no matter what I'll always be there for you. But for now, let's go to sleep. We have a lot to do tomorrow. Hopefully wonder boy will be ready for our little fight with the soul reapers. You too, I don't want you to face more than you can handle, alright Nel?" Naruto told her his concern.
She nodded and went to sleep. More relieved than ever before.
Naruto on the other hand stayed up for a time, thinking. 'Who is it that is commanding the hollows now? More importantly, the Arrancars? Only a powerful being could in fact control them.' Naruto closed his eyes and tried to sleep. 'Maybe I've been away for far too long. It might be time to reclaim my throne of Hueco Mundo.' Naruto fell asleep thinking on what his Zanpakuto told him not too long ago but put it out of his mind for now.
Naruto was getting bored. Kisuke had said that Ichigo would be ready in 2 or so days, as early as tomorrow, but Naruto was bored now. He gets bored easily. He wanted to fight again. Which that in itself was not like him ever since he become what he is today.
'Don't be so down Naruto.'Naruto heard hisZanpakuto Forbidden Angel talk to him. 'That old man, Yamamoto will be quite the challenge now. He had been training for a while. No doubt to try and kill you. Even he is not above revenge. Also that one with the glasses will be at least something of a challenge. He is more powerful than he lets on.'
"I agree. He held back too much to be defeated that easily. I dare say that on both of them, I will have to use shikai." He told her.
'I agree as well. But... that old man... I have money that you'll need to use... Bankai~~~' It almost sounded like Forbidden Angel wanted that.
"It sounds like you want that to happen. Remember the last time? I destroyed half of Hueco Mundo's hollows at once. You want that?"
'Yes...' Naruto sweat dope. 'I'm like a lust driven woman. I need to kill, and a lot. Using your Bankai helps me kill things. You know it's my favorite thing in the world. Next to giving you naughty pictures in your head about Nel. Amongst others...' Naruto almost tripped. Luckily he was at Kisuke's place. He wanted to fight, but Ichigo needed to get some real battle experience. And what better way than to get an ass beating by yours truly. He had the most evil grin on his face. Nel was next to him as always and feared what Naruto might do. He had told her that they will be helping Ichigo with his training; she had come to like Ichigo, as a friend. And she didn't want him to hurt... too badly at least.
Naruto and Nel made their way in, passing the shy girl and the always mad little boy also the tail quite one, right to were Kisuke and Ichigo were training. Naruto smiled. "Oh~~ Kisuke... let me handle Ichigo's training for now." Naruto said in a much too happy tone. Kisuke immediately got out of Naruto's way and Ichigo... he just gulp.
Naruto continued to smile. "All you have to do to pass my training... is scratch me once. Or make me draw my sword." Ichigo just face faulted.
"What! That's it!"
"Trust me when I say... that it will be harder than you think. You have 2 days to do it in. If you cannot, then you are not ready to save Rukia and she will die." Naruto gave him incentive.
"2 days? Please. I'll do it in 1." Ichigo declared.
"Is that so? Then... try me."
Ichigo tried to cut Naruto but Naruto dodged the attack. Not that he needed too.
"Hold still!" Ichigo tried again.
"Most enemies are like me, they will dodge if they can..." Naruto again dodged. "So you will have to think of a way to hit them while they are moving." Ichigo was fast, compared to most. No one under 3rd seat of power could face him. Naruto had got all he needed to know from Yoruichi in the Soul Reaper power ladder. At his current max power that he can access. Which was sad really. "Is that all you got? You'll never save Rukia like that." Naruto taunted.
"AHHHH!" Ichigo came down on him with his full power that he could muster.
Naruto let him hit his shoulder. Ichigo smirked until he saw nothing. No blood at all.
"Steel skin. My skin is stronger than steel Ichigo. It'll take a lot more then that weak attack to even scratch me. Now you know why I set such a goal for you." Naruto moved a bit away. "Some opponents prefer to take on attack head on, like you. This is either out of arrogance or because they know their opponents can't hurt them. Most would be out of arrogance. That'll show if they are mad that you managed to hurt them regardless." Naruto went into lecture mode.
"I don't need a lecture!" Ichigo attacked again only for Naruto to knock him on his ass.
"Yes you do. You charge in and damn the consequences. I was the same, still am in a way. But I think ahead now, because they are people that count on me. What would happen to Chad and Orihime if you died?" Ichigo had a shocked face. "Yes, they are coming with us to save Rukia. You know what would happen. They would die. And not just them, that one kid Uryu is coming as well. He is not as strong as you so he would die. On a rescue mission, do not think of just the person you're trying to rescue, if you do all others that came with you will fall and it would not have been worth it. Think about them, as you're trying to save Rukia from her unjust fate." Naruto gave Ichigo a good tongue lashing. "And since you claim that you can scratch me in 1 day... if you can't..." Naruto spiked his power. "You... die..."
Ichigo was scared for the first time since his lost his mother. The power Ichigo felt made that Byakuya guy look like a pansy.
"Now come... Ichigo Kurosaki..."
Hours passed and Ichigo had yet to scratch Naruto.
Off to the side lines, Yoruichi in her human form, Kisuke and Isshin, Ichigo's father, where watching Ichigo get a beat down of a life time.
"Would he really kill my boy Kisuke?" Isshin asked.
"No, at least I don't think so. Naruto doesn't like to kill, although I think he would make an exception in Aizen's case." Kisuke said to somewhat give Isshin some form of reassurance. Not that it helped any.
23 hours and 55 minutes had passed along with many other lectures from Naruto.
Ichigo was on the ground tired and was out of energy.
"Is that it? Is that the extent of your determination?" Naruto asked approaching Ichigo's prone form. "I guess it is to be expected. You are only human after all, do not worry about anything else in life, as your life will end in the next minute or so." Naruto was charging a cero. "Do not worry about your friends any longer Ichigo... you got far in this one day... but... it wasn't far enough... worry not about your family you let down, your friend that you lied too I'll handle your dreams for you. Goodbye, Ichigo."
Just as Naruto was about to fire his cero, Ichigo was having a talk with his Zanpakuto.
'Ichigo, quickly, hear my name and the power I can give you! My name is...'
Naruto was taken aback by the amount of power that Ichigo's Zanpakuto was releasing. It would seem that Naruto's little put down talk was working.
"MY LIFE WILL NOT END HERE!" Ichigo yelled. Charging his strongest attack that he could muster.
'Hear the name of this attack Ichigo, for it is far stronger when you know the name then when you don't.'
Naruto was somewhat impressed of the amount of power Ichigo had, most was still dormant and would not come out anytime soon.
"Getsuga...!" Ichigo raised his blade up high. Fueled by Ichigo's spirit energy. "Tensho!"
Ichigo put all he could in his Getsuga Tensho.
As the giant wave approached Naruto he held out his hand. Ichigo's Getsuga Tensho hit Naruto's hand and stopped.
'It's like holding back a title wave!' Naruto thought to himself. Naruto had to put more effort into holding back Ichigo's attack. 'This boy... already has... this much power?' It took more and more effort to hold it back. Then it exploded around him. When the dust cleared he saw Ichigo passed out in front of him. He looked at his hand. There was a single scratch on it, a thin and barley visible one, but these none the less. It also cut right through his glove, another impressive feat in itself.
"Impressive... Ichigo. I guess you pass my test. If you could do that to me, then you should be able to take on any Vice Captain. Just about anyway." Naruto walked away letting Ichigo get his well earned rest.
Naruto saw Kisuke and Ichigo's dad. "So, Naruto, how do you think Ichigo's training went?" Kisuke asked.
Naruto looked back at Ichigo as Orihime was tending to him. Trying to improve her healing powers speed. "... I see a lot of me in that boy of yours Isshin. Takes after his mother I guess?"
"Huh? Why you say that?"
"Just a hunch. You and he don't act the same. But anyway Ichigo has a lot going for him. He just needs to think more things thru. Just like I needed to when I was younger. But I foresee that he will bring change to this world. For better or for worse I do not know." Naruto gave his view on things and left them to their thoughts.
"What do you think that means?" Isshin asked his old friend.
"Who knows...? I'm just a candy store owner."
Isshin sweat drop.
Naruto was walking home, thinking to himself. "It looks like the old man will not let me be." He stated. "If so, when we do fight, it'll be to the death. Sorry old man, but I will not die. Our fight, will be a grand one."
(Next day hours before departure)
"Huh?" Ichigo shot up, much to the fright of Orihime.
"Ichigo!"
"Oh, hey Orihime. Where am I?"
"You're in my store of course." Kisuke walked in.
"YOU!"
"What?"
"Uh... who did I get here?" He asked. He felt tried and for good reason.
"Well, after Naruto's... well... ass beating he handed you. He brought you here, he said that you completed the training, and managed to scratch him in one day."
This shocked Ichigo. "I scratched him?"
"Yep. Although it's a teeny tiny scratch. Barley even noticeable." Kisuke down played Ichigo's achievement.
"Don't say that Kisuke. What Ichigo did no one hand done before him since I achieved this level. What he did was impressive. You're coming along Ichigo." Naruto walked in the room.
"You!"
"Yes?"
"... You... I'm not died?"
"Great deduction Homes. Did you figure that out all by yourself or did someone help you?" Naruto asked sarcastically.
"Grrr!"
"But you passed my test Ichigo. So yea, you're not dead. Rest up. We're leaving in a few hours. Can't keep Rukia waiting now can we?" Naruto smiled. "I need to get Nel, we're taking her with us." Naruto walked out.
"Right, I'll make the gate, you all rest up till I'm ready." Kisuke told the young ones.
"Hm?"
Naruto walked in on Nel and her training. She was facing 4 Vizards and was finally tired.
"So, how's her training?" Naruto asked Shinji.
"She's a monster. In a good way. Without our mask or her released form she can take on 4 of us at once." Naruto nodded. "Out of the 4 she just fought, 2 of them were captains. I have little doubt she can take on 2 or even 3 captains with little trouble. Damn and she wasn't even going all out? Maybe 4 of the weaker captains."
"Didn't know there was such a thing." Naruto commented.
"Even among the captains of the Soul Reapers there are some captains stronger than others. Like the old man, all of the other captain combined couldn't take on him and win. But I'm no longer sure with Aizen on his two friends. What about you? How strong are you?" Shinji asked.
"I'll be blunt. Take away the old man, I could destroy the entire soul reaper society and be home in time for dinner." Shinji's eyes widened.
"No joke?" He asked somewhat frightened.
"No joke. How do you think Nel is so powerful? She piggy back on me for about 100 years or so. And I've had a 1000 years to get stronger in Hueco Mundo. That's how long I've been a Vasto Lorde. Then when I became a Forsaken my power doubled at least. At full power, I could destroy the world. But thankfully, I've never had to go full power. In a long time." Naruto explained.
"What... how can you know that? I mean, have you destroyed a world yet?" Shinji asked.
"No, it's estimation. One time when I was weaker I got mad at this group of hollows, I forgot their rank, the ones below Vasto Lorde, and I never really took the time to remember their name. But I got so pissed I went instantly to full power and holding back for fear of harming Nel I fired a cero. Killed half of the Hueco Mundo population of Hollows.
"..."
"Yea I know. But I will go all out on Yamamoto, and this Aizen guy. Yamamoto is too old to change and is too deep in the ways of the corrupted Central 46 place to make up his own mind. Aizen threatens the balance of this world. I will make sure he never achieves his dreams." Naruto said with determination.
"Hey I got a question for you."
"I might have an answer."
"Funny, but you said that this new instant movement that you made, you said that we could use it right?" He asked. Always trying to get stronger to beat Aizen's ass.
"Yes, but only when you have your mask on. Nel could use it whenever because of what she is. You and the rest Shinji can use it, but only in your Vizard forms." Naruto explained. "But if you do master it, you'll be just about as fast as the Goddess of Flash." Naruto smirked.
This shocked those who were listening.
"NARUTO!"
"Huh? AH!" Naruto was tackled by Nel and Lisa. Then both glared at the other girl as sparks flew in between them.
"Now now girls, there is plenty of me to go around..."
"FISHCAKE!"
"Oh shit... GAH!" Naruto was drop kicked by a small green haired girl named Mashiro.
"YEA I KNOCKED OUT FISHCAKE!" She yelled happily.
"That's it!" Naruto yelled, an aura of evil and malice intent surrounded Naruto. His eyes white with angry and hate.
"Um... Fishcake?" Mashiro asked, somewhat frightened.
Everyone stepped away from Naruto. "I've... I've had it with you!" Naruto yelled. Then before anyone could say Icha Icha, Mashiro was in pain. Great and tremendous pain.
"HA HA HA HA HA! Stop it! I'm ticklish there!" Mashiro was. Mashiro was tickled into submission. "MERCY MERCY!"
"No mercy HAHAHA NO MERCY!" Naruto laughed evilly.
After minutes of endless torture, Naruto stopped. "Anyway, I had come to ask you guys a favor."
"A favor?"
"One I will return to you if you want me too, but I need your help with something." Naruto again told them.
"What do you need? If you're asking us to go with you the answer is no!" Shinji had no desire to go back to the Soul Society.
"No, not that, something far easier than that." This got everyone's attention. "I need your help with...
(Back at Kisuke's with the portal)
"Alright kids, this is it, I can only hold it for so long so be quick about it." Kisuke said to Ichigo, Chad, Orihime and Uryu. Yoruichi already knew.
"Wait, where's Naruto and Nel?" Orihime asked.
"Naruto said he would meet you there. He said he has something to do and would get there on his own." The group nodded.
The group went into the portal, hoping to save Rukia before it's too late.
"There they go. Are you going Naruto, Nel?"
Naruto and Nel came from behind a rock. Nel looked different.
"Of course, I just wanted to see their determination about this self severed mission of theirs. Ichigo is going to pay back a dept. Chad is going to help Ichigo. Orihime is going because she loves Ichigo. And Uryu...? I cannot say, we haven't talked much, so I don't know his motives. They're not like the others. He is going to help save Rukia that much I know, but he has another agenda to it. What, I do not know." Naruto said. "Well, got to go if I want to get there before them." Naruto opened a portal of darkness of his own. "Later." He and Nel went thru it.
"Ah... things are going to get fun around here, that's for sure." Kisuke said to himself. "Good thing Naruto gave me the next copy of Foxy Foxy: Love Nest." Kisuke started reading and giggled like a school girl. "I wonder what Yoruichi would do to Naruto she found out all of the drunken stories I told about her and Soi Fon?" He giggled again, and then stopped suddenly. "Wait! What would she do to me?"
(Soul Society)
"Man... that was tough..." Uryu said huffing. "I ruined my first cape." Many sweat drop at that. "Good thing I have a spare." He got rid of his ruined.
"Good to know..." Naruto said out of the blue. "If I ever need my coat fix, or Nel her dress, we could always come to you Uryu. Are you going to put that under your list of skills should you apply for a job?" Naruto asked jokingly.
"HI!" Nel yelled as always. She was in her white Espada coat just like Naruto.
"You look... different Nel?" Uryu looked at Nel not knowing what had changed, aside from the power boost from the last time they had met.
"Yep, Naruto gave me a power-up. Saying that he didn't want to take a chance on me dying." She said happily.
"I'm so happy for you Nel!" Orihime and Nel started to jump and hug in place.
'Seriously, it's like looking at twins!' Everyone said in their heads at the same time.
Both Nel and Orihime looked at the group. "What?" They both asked at the same time.
"Twins..." Said Ichigo under his breath.
"Anyway, we have to get going, the soul society is right down that way. It'll take a day or so at your top speed." He said.
"HEY!"
"What? All I'm saying is that we're the farthest away from the place. Orihime and Chad are not the fastest people in the world either. No offence you guys.
"None taken."
"Oh... Alright fine. But let's just get moving." Ichigo said.
As the group ran Yoruichi spoke up. "When we reach the gate how do you intend to get in?"
"Right thru the front gate." Naruto answered.
Yoruichi scratched his face in his stupidity. "You idiot! You can't do that!"
"OW! How in the afterlife hell can you hurt me with your claws! My face my beautiful face!" Naruto's faced was clawed by 4 cat claw marks.
Ichigo and the others were looking around them. "Man, this place is so rundown. Why is that?"
"The Soul Reapers call this place the Soul Society or heaven. This is we're all the good little boys and girls go when they die and have done good things in life." Everyone could hear the sarcasm in his voice. "But I call it the 2nd hell. This place is as any rundown lowly lawless back water town. Crime, crime is here like in the real world. Hungry and all other bad stuff. Heaven? Ha, at least in Hueco Mundo everyone can get strong, pending on our will power. At least there you can defend yourself." Naruto's words were that of angry. "The people that run this place have no care for these people out here. Thinking that only they are important and no one else. Plain and simple. A word of advice for all of you. Don't try to converse with any soul reaper. No one will listen to your pleas and everyone in their are the enemy. Don't forget it." Naruto said in a cold manner, this scared Orihime. Naruto was anything but cold no matter what.
"Naruto? What's the matter?" Orihime asked herself. "He's never like this..." Nel didn't know either. She had never seen him this mad at anything. Since she's known him at least.
Naruto was just thinking of a memory that he had long since wanted to forget, but like all bad memories, he can't.
After a small while they made it to the gate.
"You again?" They heard a booming voice say from nowhere.
Naruto sighed. "Look Jidanbo, I'll ask nicely the first time since I know you're just doing your job. Let us pass and I won't hurt you like I did 250 years ago."
Jidanbo flinch a bit.
"Who is this guy?" Ichigo asked.
"He is the Gate guard of the West. He has been for 300 years or so." Yoruichi told Ichigo.
"Naruto you know I can't do that. It goes against what I stand for." Jidanbo told him getting his ax ready.
"What good would that do? You remember what happened last time don't you?" Naruto ask him as he looked bored. "Last time I nearly killed you. We do this every time I come here, just let us pass and save yourself the pain of fighting me again." Naruto wanted nothing but to make this unpleasant trip over as fast as possible.
"I still can't Naruto, now... prepare yourself."
One held up one finger. "One finger... is all I'll need."
Jidanbo rushed Naruto for a big guy, Naruto used Echo Flash to appear right in front of his head. And with a flick of his finger Jidanbo was defeated.
Yoruichi was shocked that Naruto could beat someone of Jidanbo's strength so easily. "Oh don't be so socked Yoruichi. I've been in this place several times before now. This is nothing new to Jidanbo. That was just a love tap."
Everyone was thinking. 'That was a love tap!'
"Sorry big guy now you've lost... again. Now let us pass." Naruto walked passed Jidanbo to the gate. With one hand he opened it.
Yoruichi's jaw dropped. "How..."
"Close your mouth Yoruichi, otherwise the flies will nest in it. And hurry up! All of you!" Naruto motioned them to move it.
"Oh my... what do we have here?" A man walked up. He had a creepy smile, in Naruto's case, and he remembered him from before.
"You... I know you... don't I?"
"Oh, your that one hollow from the human world." Gin never dropped his smile.
"Nope, not a hollow. How many times must I tell you guys that. I'm a Forsaken." Naruto was still holding up the gate. "Hurry up you slow pokes get in here." The group got in as Naruto closed the gate.
"You know I have to fight you now." He said about to draw out his sword.
"That is pointless, go to your head captain and tell him we are inside. Or else I'll kill you and we'll move on anyways." Naruto threatened.
Gin stopped. "Well when you put it that way."
"I'd thought you'd listen, now tell the old man that the 6 of us are in, and we will save Rukia for her unjust punishment." Gin nodded and left by flash step.
"Naruto why did you do that?" Asked Yoruichi.
"Simple, the old man will be more focused on me than anyone else. I'll be the decoy while the rest of you save Rukia. Uryu, Chad, head right stay below the radar and doesn't fight unless you need to. Especially not a captain, the two of you combined might be able to handle one, but take no chances." Both boys nodded. "Ichigo, Orihime, you 2will handle the rescue itself. Yoruichi where would Rukia be held?" He asked the cat.
"Well, my best guess would be the tower, but I can't be sure. Haven't been here in a long time."
Naruto nodded at the information. "Nel do you mind going off on your own?"
"Alright by me." Nel nodded.
"Alright then. Do what you like but be careful, I'd hate to destroy this place because you got hurt. Me and Yoruichi will be the decoys, well, me more than you Yoruichi. But we'll cause a lot of noise so the others can avoid the captains. Nel you can handle a captain but still, please be careful."
"I will!"
"Alright then, if all goes well, we'll all be back in the real world and back in school doing god knows what. Be safe everyone." They all spilt up, each going in different directions.
(With Nel)
Nel was skipping around the with not a care in the world. "It's such a lovely day today." She frowned. "I'm hungry. I wonder where I can get something to eat?" She skipped around a bit, until she hit something. "Owee." She said rubbing her head.
"Hey watch it!" Yelled an angry voice.
"Sorry." Nel said in her child-like sad tone. "Do you know a place where I can get something to eat?" Nel asked.
"Huh? Oh, you must be new here. Are you?" Asked the Soul Reaper.
"Yep, just got here today." She said, which wasn't a lie at all. "My name is Nel, just got here today, what's yours?"
The female soul reaper smiled. "My name is Rangiku Vice-Captain of the 10th division."
"Wow, I'd never thought I'd meet someone like you so soon." Nel said with admiration.
"I can see why. You lost?" Rangiku asked.
"Yea, have no idea how to get around. Can you show me?" Nel asked with her child like attitude.
Rangiku laughed a bit. "Sure, why not. Where do you want to go first?"
"I know I know!" Nel was bouncing up and down. "Show me the place where we can get some food!"
Rangiku giggled. "Alright."
"YEA!" Nel pumped her fist in the air.
The pair left around the corner. Then just as they left the area a small white haired kid ran from the other corner. "Damn it! I just missed her." It was Captain Toshiro. "The captains and vice captains are suppose to be in a meeting 10 minutes ago. Damn it!" He left.
(With Naruto)
"So, where do you want to go first Yoruichi?" Naruto asked the cat on his shoulder.
"Hm~~... How about the 2nd division barracks?" She suggested.
"You mean the place you use to be in charge of until you left?"
"That's the one. It's been awhile. I wonder how my little bee has been." Yoruichi released a grin from her cat form. "I wonder if she has been keeping up with her training while I was away."
"Most likely, based on what you've told me about her, our little bee has been training herself to the ground." Naruto commented.
Yoruichi smiled at his comment. "Oh...? Since when did she become, 'our' little bee?" She expected him to blush, but Naruto taunted her right back.
"Since when I overheard your little wet dream last night about you me and her going at it." Naruto smiled as her black cat form now red cat form. Then the scratches came. "OW SON OF A BITCH!" Yoruichi blew on her claws for a job well done.
"Hey I heard something, over there!"
Naruto heard some soul reaper peons yell for a little bit away from them.
"Great... as if I didn't have enough problems to deal with." Naruto said to himself. "Well, at least it will be somewhat amusing to watch these younglings fight me as if they could win." Naruto said cracking his neck.
"You know, sometimes you sound so old that it's scary." Yoruichi said to him.
"Yea, I know. Imagine how I feel. I was 13 when I died so I me being an old man is a stretch of the mind when you think about it."
"No thank you, I'd rather just know you right now and as is." Yoruichi told Naruto.
"You there! Stop where you are, we're taking you in!" One Soul reaper that looked like nothing more than cannon fodder in Naruto eyes, ordered.
"Yea, I'll let you take me in if you could at least be somewhat interesting for me to play with. None of you are, so go away, shoo." Naruto shooed them off.
"That's it! ATTACK!"
All ten soul reapers attack Naruto. Naruto just gave a small pulse of his power and it knocked all of them back and they hit the walls. They were out cold.
"Well that was entertaining. Let's go find our little bee." Naruto walked to the 2nd barracks. Hoping to find the bee there.
(Captains meeting)
"Good. Everyone is here we can now begin the meeting." Said the head captain.
"What's this all about? I was having such a nice nap too." Said a captain with a lazy tone and something pink over him.
"I will let Captain Gin explain. Captain Gin."
"Thank you Head Captain Yamamoto. Well, about 30 minutes ago I felt a build-up of spiritual pressure at the West gate. So I went to investigate, then I saw something I'd thought I'd never see ever in my life." Gin began his story.
"What did you see?" Asked a man with Glasses.
"What I saw, Captain Aizen, was the blond haired hollow that we all fought, Naruto I believe, raise the gate, by himself with one hand, and he and the group he traveled with entered with no one to stop them. He then threatened to kill me if I stayed. Saying to report in or I die and no one knows they have entered. So I came to report."
"Why didn't you fight them." Asked Kenpachi as he always had his insane smile on his face.
"Well, for one I couldn't unleash me Zanpakuto's full power because of the restraint on it. And two I couldn't beat Naruto on my own anyway. No one captain say for Head Captain Yamamoto could." Gin defended himself.
"It doesn't matter know. We know not their objectives and"
"If I may Head Captain, I believe I might know their objectives." Byakuya said. Yamamoto gave him a nod to go on. "The last time I talked to the hollow, this Naruto, he said that this, Ichigo Kurosaki and his friends along with himself will come for Rukia to save her. They might be here to stop Rukia's execution." He explained.
"That might be it. It would also explain why he hasn't gone on a rampage and killed everyone." Aizen spoke up.
"How many did you see Captain Gin?" Asked a short white haired captain.
"Well let's see. Naruto, a green haired girl. A tall black hair man. An orange spiky hair boy and a smaller black hair boy wherein all white. Lastly a reddish orange haired girl as well.
Aizen looked at Gin and Gin nodded.
"The priority here is Naruto. The others we can deal with later. All captains that see Naruto are to engage him at full power. Consider this war times. All vice captains are to focused on the others. Dismissed." The head captain gave his orders.
Everyone started to leave, but everyone knew that Kenpachi would look for the super powered hollow. Toshiro was walking when he overheard a conversation between Aizen and Gin.
"So, Gin, is there another reason that you battle this hollow Naruto?"
"Well... no, nothing else comes to mind." Gin said.
"You can't fool me Gin."
"Maybe... maybe not."
They both walked on. Toshiro walked on as well. His vice captain most likely missed her meeting with the others so he would have to tell her to watch out for these intruders. This was going to be a long day.
(With Nel and Rangiku)
"So what would you like?" Rangiku asked.
Nel was wide eyed as she looked at all of the tasty looking food in the private mess hall that was Rangiku's kitchen table. "Wow...!"
"Now! Let's eat and drink!"
"RIGHT!"
Both started to mow down on the food and down the sake and other drinks there.
(With Naruto and Yoruichi)
"So this is the 2nd division barrack? Nice and you said that these people use their hands as well to fight." Naruto asked excitedly.
"Yep, and I was in charge of this place back when I was the Captain of the 2nd Division. Now Soi Fon, my little bee is grown up and now in charge." Yoruichi now had mock tears in her eyes. "I'm so proud of her.
"Sweet. Hopefully they will at least make me fight at least somewhat seriously." Naruto said walking in the front door. Then we was disappointed. "This place should have traps all around. What the hell? Why doesn't it Yoruichi?" He asked the cat chilling on his shoulder.
"No one has the balls to walk in the front door of this place."
"You mean no one other than me dose this? Will... ok I buy that." Naruto nodded. "I mean, no one but the old man would have the balls of steel that only I have and women don't need balls of steel when they have nice juicy..."
POW
Naruto was on the ground before he could finish his sentence. "I hate my life sometimes."
"Aw~~ poor baby." Yoruichi cooed. "Mama will kiss it and make it feel all better. Someday."
"And I'll wait for that day. No matter how long I have to." Naruto smiled back at her.
The two of them explored the 2ed division barracks for a while. Yoruichi seeing new things since she's been there last.
"Wow, this place rocks!" Naruto yelled from the hot spring him and, in her cat form, Yoruichi were enjoying. Still in the 2nd division barracks.
"You know that we're going to get caught right?" Yoruichi didn't mind it. She was appalled that 2 intruders could just walk in and chill in the hot springs of this place. "Especially since we're on the women side of the hot springs." Yoruichi sometimes had to question Naruto sanity. Sure no one had been able to hurt him in a long time but still. Never under estimate a pissed off women. "You sure your sane Naruto?"
"Yep, I am sure I am not sane."
"That made no sense."
"It would, if you were like me." Naruto said still relaxing in the water. Yoruichi hopped out. "We're you going?"
"If you were more focused on your surroundings and not the water you'd know." She left him to die... err... to his unique encounter. Naruto paid her leaving no mind. Think nothing of the sound he just heard either. The sound of the door opening from behind him. However, he did notice a high amount of spiritual pressure build up behind him. Most it seems pissed.
"Hm? Oh, hi there my little bee. Are you here to enjoy this hot spring?"
The aura around Soi-Fon was anything but happy. She was shaking with angry. She pulled out her Zanpakuto.
"Oh, this should be good." Naruto got up and quickly got dressed. As much as she would have loved to see her face when he fought her butt naked, it wasn't his style.
(With Toshiro)
Toshiro was looked for his vice captain for a while now. No one had seen her in hours. At first he thought she was out drinking. But her first drinking spot was empty, well of her anyway. Then he went to her know friends, and again she wasn't there. He was currently in front of her door. The last place for him to look for her. He was about to knock on the door when he heard laughing. One was Rangiku no doubt, but he didn't recognize the other one with her.
"This is amazing Rangiku! I've never had anything like this!" The other women voice yelled.
This pissed off Toshiro. She had missed potbelly the most important meeting to date in the history of the Soul Society to drink with someone? Oh She was going to get and not in a good way.
The slammed the door open. "RANGIKU!" He yelled in anger.
"Oh... captain... your here...? Why... is that?" Rangiku asked her captain in a drunken tone.
"Oh, this is the captain you keep talking about? He's cute, but not cuter than my sweet sweet foxy." Nel said in a same if not drunker tone.
Toshiro looked at the green haired girl and thought nothing of it. Although she looked somewhat familiar. "Rangiku! You had a vice captain's meeting hours ago that you missed! Intruders have found their way in here and you're out drinking with... who are you?" Toshiro looked at the white suited green haired girl that was drinking with his vice captain.
"Oh, this is the new girl. She just got here today, so..."
"So you decided to skip out on your duties... again. And drink with her. You! What is your name rank and squad number?" He asked in an official tone of voice.
"Huh?" Nel looked at him with a drunken blush. "My name is Nel I don't have the rest of, whatever you just said..." She laughed a drunken laugh." I'm too drunk right now. Come on join us in a drink of... what is this again Rangiku?" Nel asked in her drunken state.
"ERRR We have no time for this!" Toshiro had been thru this many times before. He was almost fed up with his vice captain's habits. "Huh?" Then his mind noticed something out of place. This Nel was in white, something he had seen before. That and her green hair that Gin gave at the meeting. As far as he knew, no one with green hair was in the Soul Society "Where did you come from Nel?" He asked. Hoping in her drunken state that she would be truthful.
"Huh? Oh I came from the West gate." He said taking another drink.
"How did you get in thru the west gate?" He asked again. He was itching for his sword.
"Oh, Naruto opened it for me. He's very strong and all. Handsome and best of all... he's... he's... I forgot what I was going to say." Nel scratched her head a bit.
"Rangiku get away from her!" Toshiro yelled drawing his Zanpakuto.
"Why captain?" She looked a little shocked that her captain would react like this.
"She's an intruder! She came here with Naruto! The hollow that we fought not too long ago!"
This got Rangiku sober in a heartbeat and hopped away from Nel. "Aw~~~ Does this mean we're no longer friends Rangiku?" She said then downed the last of her drink.
"We're taking you in hollow!" Toshiro told her.
(Bleach OST - Invasion)
She laughed a bit. Then looked at them with serious eyes and drew her Zanpakuto. "You will try..."
The two sides stared at each other, each waiting for the other to move first. Nel went first, she destroyed the wall with the window and jumped out. Rangiku and Toshiro chased after her. Nel did a few slow back hops and then a back flip to get some distance from them.
"We don't have to fight you two." She lost her childish attitude.
"Why are you here!" Toshiro asked her with authority.
Nel tilted her head. As if she was confused by the question. "Why else would I or anyone else come to this place? We are here to save Rukia from her unjust fate."
"What do you mean unjust?" Rangiku asked. "It was handed down by Central 46 and..."
"And they were wrong to do so. Do you think it right to punish someone who saved someone else's life? If so, then you're just as bad as the rest. Naruto was right. You soul reapers cannot be reasoned with. So be it..." Nel built up her spirit energy to be ready for the fight soon to come.
"Rangiku stay back. I'll handy this. Go get reinforcements."
"But captain..."
"NOW!"
Rangiku was hesitant to leave her captain with such a foe, but did as was ordered. "Right..." She started to leave. "Be careful captain." She flash step away from the battle field. Hoping that she could find someone strong enough to help her captain.
"Why did you do that?" Nel asked the white haired captain.
"Do what?"
"That? Send her subordinate away from this fight? I would assume you would use her to help you win. Not that it would have helped any." Nel was confused. She knew little of soul reapers in general, she was just curious.
"Why do you want to know? And I doubt that you would understand."
"I might actual..." She said sadly, remembering her friends that died to protect her.
"Enough talk. I am Toshiro Hitsugaya Captain of the 10th Squad." Toshiro introduced himself.
"Well met, now... I am Neliel Tu Oderschvank former 3rd Espada of the Arrancar army of Hueco Mundo." She introduced herself to him. Knowing that such knowledge would give him a heart attack.
"Army?"
"Yes, an organized army in Hueco Mundo. The creator of the army made it with the soul purpose of destroying the Soul Society and all Soul Reapers." She knew that giving away a little bit of information at a time was alright.
"So... who created this army?" Toshiro asked.
"That... I will not tell you. Because even if I did, you would not believe me. Now then... let's get on with it.
She Sonido right in front of him and attacked. Toshiro managed to block with his own blade. 'Fast.' Wasting no time Nel did an upper cut and sent Toshiro flying up words. 'And powerful.' Nel again used Sonido to get front of him not allowing him to recover. She hit him down and he crashed into the ground.
"I was hoping for a greater fight than this." She commented allowed.
"Reign over the Frosted Heaven's... Hyorinmaru!"
Nel looked down to see Toshiro charging her.
"Most impressive." She blocked his sword with her own. "You also got stronger? Good." She forced him back with a swing of her blade. While flying back she swung his blade and a small blade of ice came at her. She dodged it like it was the slowest thing in the world. "You'll never touch me with that." She taunted. This wasn't like her.
"Alright! Try this on for size!"
Toshiro attack with about a dozen ice dragons. This got Nel's attention and she was dodging each one. Some she was destroying with her sword if they got to close for her to dodge.
'What is it with this woman?' Toshiro asked himself. Hoping that reinforcements came soon.
"My turn." She pointed a finger at Toshiro. "Cero!" Nel fired a purple like cero at Toshiro. He barely got out of its way before it destroyed the place he was at. "Nice moment there... however." She was behind him. "I'm still faster than you. Cero!"
Point blank Toshiro couldn't dodge it. "AAAAH~~~!" Toshiro when crashing to the ground.
Nel was somewhat saddened. "Is that it? Is that all the power a Captain has?" She asked him.
An ice dragon came for the dust and hit her head on. "I'm not done yet!" Toshiro started to build up a massive amount of spirit energy. "Bankai..."
"So soon?" Nel asked.
When the energy the covered Toshiro ended. His appearance change. He had an ice tail, ice wings and an ice dragon head on him as well. "It is over hollow." This raised Nel's eyebrow.
"I am not a mere hollow anymore Captain of the 10th squad. I am something far greater now than ever before." She got ready for round 2.
"Let us end this! Guncho Tsurara!"
"Cero!"
Toshiro swung his blade and many ice daggers came from in front of him but Nel blasted them with her cero.
"You need to do better than that! Cero!" Nel again blasted him with her powerful yet basic cero.
Toshiro wisely dodge before it hit him. 'No matter what I do she just brushes it off like nothing.' Toshiro began to think harder. "I have no choice I must end this now." Toshiro began to concentrate.
"I'm not letting you do anything big, so you'll forgive me when I do this..." She pointed her right index finger at Toshiro. "Gran Rey Cero!"
Toshiro felt the power coming off the new cero that was fired at him. He tried to dodge but the range of the attack was too big so she used his wings to block for him. When it hit him and the surrounding area devastation is the only word for it. Nel looked at her handy work. "Oh... sorry, I should have held back more." She said allowed.
Toshiro was bleeding from his head but his Bankai was still active. "I'm not finished yet."
"Oh... you survived...?" Nel asked in a surprised yet somewhat happy tone. She didn't want to kill anyone. But was surprised her more was that his ice Bankai was regenerating himself. That's a powerful Bankai you have. How is it that it can regenerate itself after taking that attack I just did?" She asked him. Not really expecting an answer.
"My Bankai... is ice. So as long as... there is water around... it can regenerate as many times... as I need it to." He told her. Still staling for more time.
"Nice." She said.
"It's over." Nel looked a little shocked at that statement. Then she noticed many pillars of water rotating around her. "Sennen Hyoro. Your final prison." Toshiro told her.
"Not today, you seemed to have forgotten that I am..." She looked down to see ice enclose her feet.
"Like I said... it's over hollow..." He rotated his Zanpakuto.
The hollow comment got Nel mad and it takes a lot to get Nel made. She raised her blade to her face. "I... am not... a Hollow!"
The water encircled her and when it made contact it encased her in ice.
(End Bleach OST - Invasion)
Huff
Huff
"Captain!"
Toshiro looked behind him to see Rangiku with the 4th Squad captain her vice captain and captains of the 7th and 8th division along with their vice captains. "Your late... I already beat her." He said out of breath. "She's in an eternal ice prison."
"Well done captain Toshiro." The 7th Captain praised him.
"I knew you could Captain! She couldn't stand up to..."
"Declare..."
That one word froze all of them. No pun intended.
"...Gamuza!"
The massive ice prison shattered and an icy mist covered the area.
"Not possible!" Rangiku yelled.
"Lanzador Verde!"
No one other than Toshiro saw an object spinning at them at high speeds. He jumped in front of it and used his wings to protect himself. The object hit him with a force he never felt before and it launched him back no matter the amount of power he put into his shield. When he hit the ground near his comrades an explosion accrued and it rendered all of the other weak and Toshiro in the verge of passing out.
Nel grabbed her lance and it returned into a Zanpakuto. She walked from the mist to a downed Toshiro. "I hope you survive that. Naruto told us not to kill anyone if we could help it. Anyway, as a reward for impressing me, I'll give you a warning. The one's who created the Arrancar army are the ones with the most eyes, the least eyes and the forever smile. Goodbye Toshiro, it was fun." She ruffled his hair then Toshiro passed out and Nel used Echo Flash to leave, wanting to get away as fast as possible.
(With Naruto)
Naruto was dodging attack after attack from Soi Fon. "Oh come on! Can't you just let this one pass? I swear I won't do it again...today at least.'" he thought the last part to himself.
"DIE NARUTO!" She yelled.
"Well, at least she used me name." She said to himself. "But if it's a fight you want..." Naruto spotted dodging and faced her. She smirked at him. "A fight you shall have."
