Naruto vs. Yamamoto the Final Battle
Nel once again charged Retsu. She had learned her lesson on holding back in a fight and it cost her dearly. She wasn't going to make that mistake again.
Retsu on the other hand was having a hard time. Head to head Nel was stronger than her.
'She's holding back. I can feel it.' Retsu thought to herself.
'She's strong.' Nel thought to herself.
Despite Retsu's belief Nel was only holding back her next level of power. She was going all out in this form. They forced each other back and Nel had a small cut on her shoulder. Same with Retsu.
"Is there no other way to stop this unneeded fighting?" Retsu asked.
"You could always just call it a day and leave." Nel said sarcastically.
Retsu responded with her blade as she tried once again to defeat Nel.
"Captain Retsu now!"
Nel heard the laid back captain yell.
"White!" Then Retsu stabbed Nel in the gut. Nel was shock. "White Lighting!" Again Nel was shocked at such a weak attack did so much damage to her. She put some distance between them and her.
"How...? Why was that so powerful?" She asked.
"It's because of me." Nel looked behind her. It was captain that she had thought she defeated.
"It's called Irooni. Pick a color and that color is the only color you can hit. However, the amount of the color determines the amount of damage you can do. The weakest attack can be devastating." Shunsui explained. "White." Nel's eyes widened as Shunsui did a single attack and it felt like she was hit by Naruto's cero.
'A dangerous ability indeed.' She looked at the captains she was facing. 'The ability to increase damage, heal and reflect attacks. These 3 could beat almost anyone... almost.'
"White."
"!" Nel looked behind her and blocked a devastating attack that the 3rd captain, that she thought she had beaten already, launched at her. Jushiro's blades hit her hard. She hit the ground and skidded a good distance.
"Why don't you give up? It'll save you and us the trouble of fighting." Shunsui asked her in a relaxed manner.
Nel whip the blood off her face. "So, I pick a color and I can only hit that color right?" She asked with a smile.
"That's right." Shunsui said with a calm smile.
"Then... I chose... green."
"Green?" Jushiro and Shunsui asked.
"Yep." She got behind them, and then dumped green paint on each one. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You should see your faces!" Nel was laughing at them. This got a tick mark from Jushiro.
Jushiro flashed step behind Nel in order to attack her aiming for her right shoulder. But when his small sword hit her it was deflected. "What?"
"Hehe, this is a fun game." Nel said excitedly.
"But how? How did you deflect my attack without moving?" Jushiro asked.
"Simple... I used the rules of the game to my advantage." She said. Then all three of them looked closer at Nel. Her white suit was turning green. Like her hair. "Nowhere in the rules said that we can't change the color of our cloths." She said with a smile. "Or force a change in the color of the other person's cloths. Bala." A quick Bala hit Jushiro and he was forced back. She smiled.
"But how, how did you know how to counter my ability?" Never in Shunsui's after life was one of his abilities turned on him so much.
"Naruto told me."
"But I never told him or used this on him!" Shunsui would have remembered.
"Oh, I know, and so does he. But you didn't need too. Like I told Retsu once before. Naruto's power is beyond that of all of..." Nel looked behind her and blocked an attack from Retsu. But Retsu seemed stronger than she once was, far stronger than before. 'Where did she get this power? Or, was she holding back before?' Nel was forced back.
Retsu used flash step to get behind Nel and attack again. Nel blocked the attack again.
"Why are you attacking Captain Retsu? We need to retreat and think of another plan." Captain Jushiro said getting up.
"You in mission mode aren't you?" Nel asked as she blocked another attack with her blade and was forced back and collided with many buildings.
"She still has some white on her, we can still win." She told them.
"Where? Where is she wearing white?" Jushiro asked.
"Her eyes." Retsu said calmly.
Nel's eyes widened. It didn't matter if it was minimal damage, any attack to the eyes would be devastating. "Well... I just have to end this now." Nel was building up a massive amount of spiritual pressure.
"What is she...?"
"Cero!" Nel aimed at the ground and cause a smoke screen. "Declare..."
"Not good, stop her!" Jushiro yelled.
"... Gamuza." She finished.
'This power...' Captain Retsu said to herself. 'It's almost as powerful as Head Captain Yamamoto when he is using his shikai at full power.' Retsu said to herself. Then Retsu remembered something.
'Her last attack she used before she left the battle. I barley hared it. She said the words 'Declare Gamuza' then 'Lanzador Verde'. I didn't see what she thru, but whatever it is it's powerful as it went right thru my ice defense. Be careful, she's powerful.'
She remembered Toshiro's words.
"Lanzador Verde!" Then she saw it. Something spinning at them at incredible speed.
Far away Naruto since this, and then left.
"Captain Shunsui, Captain Jushiro put all of your spiritual pressure into this next attack." Both nodded.
"Way of Binding #73!Tozansho!" They all said at the same time.
A massive blue pyramid shield stood between them and Nel's attack. Then they collided it sounded like a big metal drill hitting a large metal wall the sound was powerful and loud.
Nel's attack and the Captain's shield stood their ground, neither side giving an inch. Then finally Nel's attacks destroyed the shield, but bounced away. Nel caught it as it returned back into a Zanpakuto. Nel and the captains were breathing hard.
"Err!"
'I can rejuvenate the other two, but I'll be exhausted myself.' Thought Retsu, in a battle of endurance, she believed that they could win.
(Play Arrancar theme)
"Alright, it's time to end this." Nel got up. She put her Zanpakuto in front of her face. "Declare..."
Then she was stopped by a hand on her shoulder. It was Naruto. "No Nel. No need to fight any longer than you already have." Nel blushed then looked away. Naruto then looked at the 3 captains Nel had just fought. "Consider this fight your victory, as I will not have Nel fight any longer than this. But make no mistake we'll be back tomorrow to save Rukia from her unjust fate." Naruto used Echo Flash to get them both to safety.
(End Arrancar theme)
Shunsui breathed a sigh of relive. "Man, to counter my ability so well, and still be able to fight like that. And how did Naruto know of my ability?" He asked the million dollar question.
"I know, just short of you telling him or you using it on him he would have never been able to tell Nel." Jushiro said. "So how?"
"Well, we know one thing from Nel that is. She likes to attack with her strongest attack while in smoke cover. That could be useful to know. Now, it's time that you two get to my hospital." She gave them a big smile. This got a shiver from both of them.
"We're doomed."
"What was that Shunsui?" She asked an aura of evil and pain surrounded her.
"We're in good hands, yep that's what I said."
"That's what I thought..."
(With Naruto and Nel)
Naruto and used Echo Flash to a small cave like the one Yoruichi and Ichigo are, just a little bit away from the rest. Complete with a hot spring and even a bed. Big enough for two.
"Why did you stop me Naruto?" Nel asked.
He looked at her. "Not once but twice you did it. I told you not too, you're not use to it yet." He told her sternly.
"I can handle it." She said.
"Nel this is serious." Naruto pinned Nel to the wall with his hands.
"That power could kill you. Your tried right now, you used too much. Rest for now." Naruto put her to sleep. She was so calm, like she was before he restored her powers. "Did I do the right thing? Giving her back her power at the price she has to pay now?" He asked himself. "I hope I did the right thing." He watched her sleep peacefully in bed.
(Captain's meeting)
The captain's meeting was 6 members short. 5 in the hospital to recover, the last one dead.
"This room is feels empty now." Gin said. "How sad." He finished.
"Captain Retsu, what happened?" Asked Head Captain Yamamoto.
"We engaged the hollow 'Nel' as was ordered, but she proved very powerful indeed. She managed to handle all of us even with our Shikai. She was mostly unfazed by our attacks. Only when Shunsui used his Irooni and caught her by surprise, but even that was only temporary. As she countered that as well to a decree to make it useless for us and powerful for her." She explained to Yamamoto everything that had happened in the fight up to the part where Naruto stopped Nel.
"I see, how do you think they know of the accused new execution date?" He asked her. Aside from him she was the wisest of the Captains.
"I truly cannot say. But I believe that Naruto is cunning enough to be under our noses and we not know it. If he did kill Aizen then that would be proof enough." She said, not believing that Naruto killed Aizen at all.
"I see, thank you, rest up. When Naruto comes to stop Justice I we will be there to stop him." He said, all of the remaining captains left.
Retsu was still thinking on the words and things that Naruto said to and showed her. Was she just a tool used by some corrupted power? She was even starting to believe it. She was almost at her barracks when she felt someone nearby. "You can come out now, I know your back there." She said.
Naruto stepped out from the shadows. "Hello again Retsu. How are you?"
"Fine, I guess, but I'm wondering... did you kill Aizen?" She asked.
"Would you believe me if I said no?"
"Yes." That surprised Naruto.
"Well then no, I didn't kill Aizen." He said.
She nodded. "Then who did?" She asked once more. If Naruto didn't kill him there we're only a handful that could.
"No one did." He said.
"He commented suicide?" She looked shocked.
"No."
"But you just said that no one killed him."
"I know no one did."
"Then...?"
"We could talk about Aizen, but that's not why I'm here."
"Just one more question about Aizen and his death. How did he die if no one killed him and he didn't kill himself." She asked.
"I'll answer that before I leave you to your thoughts, as I want no more questions about Aizen when I answer you last one." Naruto said.
She smiled. "Then why are you here?" She asked.
"I can feel your emotions, you are in turmoil. I can help if you let me. Clear a few things up if you will. And I'll even tell you a little about my power if you do." He smiled at her.
She sighed. "Well, a few things have been troubling me. Maybe you can clear them up." Retsu looked more troubled then before here was, supposedly, a heartless killer and enemy of all Soul Reapers and here she was confiding in him. "Well, I have been..." She looked around to see if anyone was nearby. "...questioning my loyalty to the Soul Society and Central 46. Mostly based off what you have said. About Central 46 being corrupt with power. Then their decision on Rukia. What she did was against the law but not punished by death like her."
Naruto nodded. "I guess you would. Tell me what does this Soul Reaper academy teach about Hollows?"
"That they are monsters that need to be destroyed at all costs." She said honestly.
"I guess they would teach that misconception. For one most hollows are like that, but some of the higher evolutionary tiers are not like that. But also, she followed her teachings. You said that they are to be destroyed at all costs? Then to destroy that hollow that attacked Ichigo and his family she gave him her powers. But he taking all of her power was not part of the plan, she was a victim of circumstance at that. So right there is something that needs to be changed. She followed orders and her teachings, and is now being punished for it. Do you know what would happen if a hollow were to eat a grand total of 2 captains and 1 vice captain level worth of spirit energy? It would become a Gillian in the middle of a city and eat to its greedy black heart's content. A lot mind you."
She was shocked at that and the words he used to say it. But his words really did was prove was she was thinking. That the Soul Society is just that, corrupt.
"Now, what else is on your mind?" He asked concerned.
"I know why you hate the soul society, but..." Naruto looked at her as she was debating her new choice of words. "If I asked you if you would be cleansed, would you let me do so?"
"No." Naruto replied instantly.
"Why not?"
"Because, the power I now have and the life I now live I could never obtain as a Soul Reaper. Soul Reapers are mindless drones in my opinion. They follow tradition at the cost of everyone and everything good that could come out of this plain of life. The people outside this place's walls are filled with people who suffer even in death. Maybe not all but most at least. Such a place should be filled with grass, gardens and beaches with the smell of the ocean. This place, is suffering with a mask. If I came here, and not Hueco Mundo, not only would I have eventually left this place but I would have never been able to save and meet the people I now care about. That is why." Naruto gave his very long explanation.
Retsu nodded in understanding. "I see..." She didn't think it would work if she asked. But it didn't hurt either. "That's all I wanted to know. Now, you said would answer my question. Now answer it." She gave him a smile. The smile said or else you'll spend the next 1000 years in my hospital with an ice pack on your groin area.
Naruto had a few despair marks around him. "Uh, right, I did say that. Now then, how did Aizen die if he wasn't murdered or committed suicide? That was your question?" She nodded. "Alright then, an answer. Who said he was dead." Naruto flashed away before another question could be asked.
Retsu's eyes widened. He wasn't dead? But she had his body on her table. He was dead.
'Or was he?' She thought.
With Naruto he was running to where he put Nel.
'Why did you tell her that?'
He heard a voice in his head. 'I told her because she would be the only one to listen.'
'Ok, I'll give you that one. But why bother with this cloak and dagger stuff anyway. Aizen is no match for you and both he and you know it. Just kill him and be done with it.' The voice said again.
'Because Kyuubi there is nothing worse than to know a villain died a hero while a hero is hunted like a villain.'
'You and your since of morality kit. I'm going back to sleep wake me up for the show that will happen tomorrow.' With the Kyuubi went back to sleep.
'Good night Kyuubi.' He thought.
He left Retsu to ponder what he had said and the cryptic clues he and Nel had left.
(With Naruto and Nel's cave)
"Nel, you up?"
"NARUTO!" Nel jumped and hugged him to death, well redeath, but still nice all the same.
"Hey Nel, you alright? You pushed yourself against 3 powerful captains." He asked with concern in his voice.
"Yeah, but why did you stop the battle, I could have taken them easily..."
"Yes I know, but you would have passed out. You're not ready to go full power yet Nel, trust me." He said rubbing her hair.
"I trust you. Now let's go to sleep." She tackled him to the bed and they both went to sleep.
A while later Naruto woke up to Nel's cries. He snapped his eyes open to see what the problem was, Nel was on top of him crying. "Nel? What's wrong? Are you hurt?" He asked.
"Do you... like me?" She asked. Based on the look in her eye Nel had been crying for a while.
"Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?" Naruto asked.
"Then... would you... I mean..." She then mumbled. "Never leave my side Naruto?" She asked.
Naruto looked at her funny. "Don't worry Nel, I'll never let you go."
Naruto and Nel lay quietly on the bed.
"Nel, just so you know I could never hate you, never. Even if I change into a monstrous figure, even if I we're to forsake my humanity and become a monster. I'll never stop loving you." He kissed her forehead.
"Naruto... about Yoruichi..."
"Jealous are we? Don't worry I love you just as much as I love her." Naruto said fingering her hair.
"I see." Nel did feel a little jealous.
"Besides, think of it. You we're screaming my name when I was pounding you. Imagine me pounding you from behind while you eat her out? Or even she eats you out while..."
"I get it!" Nel yelled while blushing up a storm.
"Oh and don't get me started. Yoruichi is a 2 for 1 deal. Eat her eat Soi Fon out for free."
Nel bopped him on his head playfully while also thinking of the same thing.
"Anyway get some sleep, we have to save Rukia tomorrow and then we can worry about other things."
With that they both went to sleep.
Naruto woke up, it was still dark out, but he had enough of rest. He got up and looked around. He felt that soon Wonder boy would be ready and Rukia's head would be on the chopping block.
"And our fight will happen soon... Yamamoto."
Naruto looked up at the full moon.
(With Yamamoto)
Yamamoto was also looking up at the moon. He knew that Naruto would show his face to him, and neither would run away. It will be a fight to end all fights. The fight Yamamoto had been waiting for 800 years. As well as getting stronger for. The hollow 800 years ago that killed his 11 friends was far stronger then he was at that time. Now he too was stronger.
"I hope those young kids don't get in the way. It would be bothersome if they did." He said to himself. He had waited for this moment. The one time he could go all out... not hold back, and fight an opponent that he could say he might not be able to win. "We'll soon see." He finished, he decided to go to bed. He saw his desk of paper work that has been untouched for weeks. But he'd get to it afterward.
(With Naruto)
"Naruto." Nel woke up.
"Hey Nel, go back to sleep. We have a big day tomorrow.
She wrapped her arms around him. "I know, but I got cold without you. Come back to bed. You need your rest too." She nuzzled her face into his back.
"Alright. Just, give me a moment. I'll be there don't worry." He said. Nel kissed him on the check and then went back to bed.
Naruto took one last look at the moon. "Tomorrow." Then he too went back to bed.
(Next day)
The sun was up. Soon, Rukia would be put to death for her crimes against the soul society. The all would be right in the world again... not. Ichigo, Naruto and the rest would never let that happen. Ichigo was finishing his training needed to achieve Bankai and Naruto was getting dressed. His Arrancar like outfit was put on, but then he notice something.
"My hollow hole... it's... smaller?" It was true. The hole could at one time fit a person's head in it. Now he maybe be able to but his hand in it. "Why?" He asked himself. The hollow holes size was not the only thing that changed. He felt a little stronger too. He went to Nel to see if he was the only one. He wasn't, hers was smaller too. Smaller than his, but her hollow hole was always smaller then his. "I'll solve it another day." He wiggled Nel awake. "Nel, time to get up. We have work to do." He told her.
Nel snapped her eyes open. "RIGHT!" She yelled. Nel quickly dressed into her old Arrancar outfit. But With a change that she didn't notice behind she put it on.
"What's wrong Nel?" Naruto asked.
"Did this thing change when I wasn't looking?" She asked.
"Well... uh, you see... we we're... rough... last night. I had to fix it." Naruto said nervously.
The new Arrancar shirt Nel has was sleeveless and it was cut to show a little of her stomach as the only real changes. "I love it. Not I can fight without getting overheated. Then I won't have to take off my shirt when I'm hot, it's breathable!" She said in a happy smile.
Naruto was mentally kicking himself.
"Let's go Naruto! I want to see Rukia again!" Nel was dragging him outside.
"Yea I know, but first we have to find the others and spring them from jail." Naruto told her then Nel stopped.
"Oh yea. How do we do that?" She asked.
"By going in the front door and asking them to release our friends." Naruto smiled.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nel was laughing, hard.
(5 minutes later)
"I still can't believed that worked!" Yelled Nel as she was laughing and trying to keep her sides from splitting apart.
"Naruto...? Did you really walk up to the person in charge of the prison we we're in and ask to be let into your custody?" Asked Chad, really not believing what Nel had told them.
"Yep. Whoever that guy was he was too focused on his book then looking up at me." Naruto said with a smile. Remembering how it happened.
You see, Naruto and Nel Echo Flash to the jail that Chad and Uryu we're held captive in. Naruto walked up to one guy at the counter and asked to let the human's be released under his custody. The guy not looking up at his little orange book said ok, and then Naruto filled out the forms and bam Chad and Uryu we're free men.
"Thank you Icha Icha." Naruto said to himself.
The group of 4 had been running to get to Rukia. It took longer because Uryu was slower for some reason. 'I no longer since his power. It's not there anymore. It looks like he has lost it for some reason.' Naruto said to himself.
Naruto looked up. He saw a very big bird. "That's some power." Naruto said to himself. Nel also felt it. It made her sweat a little. "Chad, Uryu. Sorry but you need to go the rest of the way by yourselves. Nel we have a friend in need of saving."
The 3 of them nodded. Nel and Naruto used Echo Flash. 'Get there in time!'
The bird made of fire was already about to attack Rukia. 'We won't make it...'
At the execution grounds everyone watched the Soukyoku go to its released form. A power form, with the destructive power of over 1 million Zanpakuto. Normally this would be reserved for a captain class traitor not a minor one like Rukia.
"Don't have such a sad look on your face Nanao." The captain with the laid back manner said to his vice captain.
The Soukyoku charged at Rukia. She had long since accepted her fate. She closed her eyes and waited for the nothingness that was to come. But it never did.
On the ground everyone saw the Soukyoku in its released form go in for the kill. Then it stopped. Naruto and Nel just got there as it was stopped. Naruto looked up to see Ichigo, all banged up and covered in bandages from head to toe.
"Yo..." He said casually as he just stopped one of the strongest forces in the Soul Society. "How've you've been Rukia?" He asked.
Naruto notice something different about Ichigo as well. "To become so strong... in such a short amount of time." Naruto began. "He'd be as strong if not stronger than me in 1000 years or so." Naruto smiled. He lived by many sayings. One of them was something he felt all the time. "It is lonely at the top."
The Soukyoku roared as it charged again for another assault.
"Oh no you don't." Naruto again used Echo Flash to get in the way.
Ichigo was having a wonderful day today. He got his ass beat more times then he believed was possible. He had heard that his friend Chad was captured along with Uryu, who was ok in his book, then that Rukia was going to get killed that afternoon. The good news began when he got there just in time to save Rukia from the stupid bird thing.
"You idiot! Why did you come back here! My brother is going to kill you! Don't you even care!"
"SO! I came here to rescue you!"
"Moron..." She said quietly
"Whoa!" Ichigo lost his balance when the bird stopped trying to get through his Zanpakuto. He turned around to see the fire bird preparing for another attack. "Trying for another attack are ya?" Ichigo notice. "Well bring it on!" Ichigo stopped. He stopped when Naruto appeared before him. "Whoa! Naruto? You're here?" He asked.
"Sure... wonder boy. I said that I'd help you save Rukia didn't I?" He smiled.
(Bird Roar)
Naruto looked back at the bird, it was charging again.
On the ground Head Captain Commander smiled. Although slightly mad that he wouldn't kill Naruto himself. As long as Naruto died he'd be happy.
Naruto held out his hand, and the bird hit him. Another smirked was shown on Yamamoto's face. Then it fell when the fire was reduced to nothing.
Up with Naruto, Ichigo and Rukia Naruto had held the monster of power at bay with his hand. It was shown on his face that he was having slight difficultly.
"I feel your pain... forever to suffer at the hands of these fools." Naruto said out of the blue.
"Hey Naruto, who are you talking to?" Ichigo asked.
"The Soukyoku Ichigo. She is in pain. She is forced to suffer forever punishing the innocent and sparing the guilty her wrath. I will put you out of your pain... my friend."
Naruto forced a lot of power out of himself, black colored tendril-like tentacles encircled the Soukyoku in its released form. The Soukyoku roared as it was being destroyed.
On the ground no one believed their eyes. The Soukyoku was losing power.
The with the Soukyoku completely encircled Naruto pulled hard on them with a snap the Soukyoku roared one last time, before it returned to its sealed state, and it was broken.
"That's... impossible..." Soi Fon was at a loss for words... "First the human stopped it with just one Zanpakuto... then he manages to destroy it?" She was shocked beyond anything she could comprehend.
"So... in the end, it was them that saved the day." Shunsui said with a bit of amazement.
"Well... that's one way to start the day." Naruto turned to Ichigo. "Dude. What the hell are you staring at? Get Rukia."
"Oh! Right!" Naruto sighed.
Ichigo got on the pillar that Rukia was 'tied' too. He grabbed the bandages on his Zangetsu.
"It's about time he used that." Naruto said to himself. He felt eyes on him and not in the good way. He looked down, he saw two sets of eyes that held contempt for him. The lesser of the two was Soi Fon. She was glaring at him like he was Evil, perverted and that he had violated her privacy. Ok so he did do that and he was a pervert. But he knew where to stop. But he sure as hell wasn't evil... mostly. However, the other set of eyes that held contempt for him was Yamamoto. He knew why too.
"You fool! Those are captains and vice captains down there. You'll never get away from them!" Rukia again tried to get Ichigo to leave her to her fate.
"Shut up. I don't care. I'm going to save you. Like it or not." Ichigo said to Rukia.
"Idiot... I'm not going to say thank you." She muttered
"I don't care. I'm going to save you Rukia, I told you that."
"RUKIA!"
Naruto, Ichigo and Rukia looked to the ground and to their left. It was Renji, he was tried.
"Well, I didn't expect to see any other soul reapers here." Naruto stated.
"Hey Renji!" Ichigo yelled.
Naruto looked back and saw Ichigo lift Rukia up above his head. "What's he...? No..." He smirked.
"Huh? Hey Ichigo, wait!" Renji yelled when he realized what Ichigo was going to do.
"CATCH!"
"YOU MORON!" Renji yelled as he tried to follow Rukia as she was hurdling down to the ground. What felt like minutes was only a few seconds as Renji managed to catch Rukia. "WHAT THE HELL ICHIGO! SHE COULD HAVE DIED!"
"ICHIGO! YOU ASS!" Rukia was crying because of her new death experience.
"Nice Ichigo... you should try out for Baseball." Naruto said looking at how far Ichigo had thrown Rukia.
"GO!" Ichigo yelled at them
"Huh?"
"GO! I'll hold them off while you get away with Rukia." Ichigo yelled again.
"He's right. Go Renji, we'll hold them off, you'd just get in the way." Naruto told him while eyeing Yamamoto. And Yamamoto was eyeing him. Naruto levitated slowly to the ground.
"What are you waiting for! All vice captains follow them!" Soi Fon ordered.
"Hey Ichigo, there only Vice Captains. Can you handle them?" Naruto asked as he didn't bother looking at them.
"No problem." Ichigo stopped in front of them so Renji and Rukia could escape.
Naruto knew that they would be no challenge to him. He landed a bit away from Yamamoto. Anyone and everyone could feel the anger, the tension, the very fabric of hate could be seen between them.
"Naruto..." Naruto looked in front of him and Yamamoto. It was Soi Fon.
"Hey their little bee. How are you this fine day?" He asked with a smile.
"I'm going to enjoy this." She said getting her Zanpakuto unsheathed.
"Yea... so am I." He said as she disappeared. As someone tackled her. Naruto looked to his right as Yoruichi took Soi Fon so they could have a little heart to heart talk. With lots of things blowing up and lots of cat fight sounds. He smiled as he looked at Yamamoto. "Well old man... let's have it out shall we?" Naruto asked as he floated in the air and to the center of the Seireitei. Yamamoto flash step and was 20 or so yards in front of him. Both staring at each other. "This is where it ends... old man." Naruto drew his Zanpakuto.
"I agree... Naruto Uzumaki..." Yamamoto also pulled his Zanpakuto from his cane. "Reduce all creation to Ash...!"
Yamamoto's Zanpakuto turned into a mass of fire and heat. The power coming off him was staggering.
()
"So... the old man is getting serious. You think that your friend Naruto can handle him Nel?" Jushiro asked Nel. Sipping some tea with Nel and Shunsui.
Nel was standing behind them also sipping tea. "I've seen Naruto do things... things that no one else could do. I've told Retsu once before, against Naruto all plans are useless." Nel took one more sip of her tea. "Sorry but I have to go, I need to find Orihime. I miss her." Nel Echo Flash away.
"I so need to learn that." Jushiro said.
()
"I see... your Shikai." Naruto built up his own Spiritual pressure. "Now I'll show you mine. Devastate and Despair... Forbidden Angel." Naruto unleashed his Forbidden Angel. "However..." Naruto reached for his face. Then in a Vizard like fashion his put his mask on. It was his fox skull mask. Top part of the fox skull was on the top of his head and the skull fox jaw on his jaw. His mouth and nose was covered in a Kakashi-like mask. The mask also covered his neck and shoulders. "I'm ready." Naruto said in a deeper, but not by much, voice.
"So, are you ready to submit yourself to justice!" Yamamoto asked.
"Justice? Please, you wouldn't know justice if it reached up and bitch slapped you in the face. Your justice isn't my justice." Naruto said to him.
"Nonsense. This is no such thing as individual justice. No one's justice can be above the world's justice." Old man Yamamoto said.
"Arrogance old man. Such arrogance, there is no such thing as true world justice. Your justice is my injustice. That is the world we live in old man. Face it, live or die with it. But the time for talking is over... old man..."
"I agree." Yamamoto gathered even more of his power. "I will kill you! And lay to rest the spirits of my dead friends that you killed so long ago."
"Then come!"
(Play Treachery - Bleach Movie 2 Soundtrack)
"Jokaku Enjo!" Yamamoto launched the first attack. Naruto was surrounded by fire. "There, that'll hold you for a while."
"You forget old man! Just who I am! Devastation!" Naruto yelled raising his Zanpakuto in the air. Forbidden Angel began to absorb the fire around Naruto.
"What!"
"Did you forget? I can absorb the power of any non-physical attacks. And send them right back! Despair!" Naruto sent a red energy blade at Yamamoto. Yamamoto dodged it without trouble. "Cero Blade!" Naruto launched more ceros at the old head captain.
"Way of Destruction: Blue Firefall!"
The two attacks collided between the two combatants.
Yamamoto used flash step to get behind Naruto. "Taimatsu!"
Naruto looked behind him again, instead of trying to absorb the attack Naruto dodged it. "You'll have to do better than that! Cero!" A cero formed from the mouth of Naruto's fox mask. Naruto fired the powerful, and fast, cero.
Yamamoto managed to dodge it, but barley as it skinned his arm. But many lesser soul reapers were not so lucky to get away from the shockwave explosion when it hit the ground. Killing some and wounding many others.
"I will stop you hollow! Once and for all!" The head captain swung his blade of fire a few times creating waves of fire, all heading for Naruto.
Naruto stood still as the fire came at him.
(With Nel)
Nel was heading toward Jushiro's compound. He told her that Orihime was being protected by his two 3rd seats. Somehow or another he convinced her to stay there to be safe from harm, after she healed his sickness. She was running as fast as she could to get to Orihime, she also felt protective of her just like Naruto. Although Naruto said he knew why, she didn't. There was something about Orihime that made her want to protect her. She turned a corner and hit something.
"Owii." Nel said rubbing her head.
"Captain are you alright?" A concerned female voice asked.
"OW dammit watch where you're going will ya!"
Nel looked to see who she ran into. As did the captain that she ran into. "It's the kitty captain!" She yelled.
This again got a tick mark from Toshiro and a giggle from Rangiku.
"I told you I'm not a 'kitty captain'." Toshiro said barley restraining his anger.
"Yes you are!" Nel pinched both of Toshiro's cheeks and started to stretch his face. "Just look at this cute little face." Nel said as a mother would say to her baby.
Toshiro wrestled control for his face and won. Rangiku would never let him live this down. She was laughing so hard she was holding her sides. But it stopped are it took a moment to see just who they were paling around with. "Nel!"
"Yep. Nel former 3rd Espada of the Arrancar army." She said happily. "We don't have to fight now do we?" She asked. "I don't want to fight anymore than I have too. I don't enjoy it." She said.
"You enjoyed it plenty when you were facing me." Toshiro said.
"But who wouldn't when facing such a cute captain." She said pinching his cheeks again.
Toshiro slapped her hands away from his face. "Stop that!" Nel and Rangiku laughed. "What are you doing here Nel?" The atmosphere became serious.
"Did it just get cold here? No? It's just me?" Nel asked jokingly.
"Stop joking!"
"Fine, no wonder Rangiku is so playful. Someone has to be. Anyway, I'm looking for my friend Orihime. I haven't seen her since we got here and I miss her. There, happy? Now why are you here and not trying to kill Naruto?" She asked. Seeing as for their time in the Soul Society has been nothing but fights... with one other thing.
Toshiro didn't answer at first.
"I get it..." Nel said. She seemed serious. Then she hugged Toshiro's head in her bust. "You came all this way to see little old me. I think I know why too. And I accept! I'll be your mother my little white dragon." She said in a manner that screamed cute.
Toshiro was flailing around trying to get out of a pair of Rangiku sized breasts. Rangiku just laughed at her captain's situation. Toshiro fought tooth and nail and finally got out from Nel's grip. "I said stop that!" He said while blushing. 'It's like I found Rangiku's long lost twin sister!' He yelled in his head.
There was a loud explosion and everyone looked up. The fire lit up the sky and it was vast. Naruto was fighting Yamamoto.
"That guy stands no chance against Head Captain Yamamoto." Rangiku said.
"Wrong!"
Both Rangiku and Toshiro looked at Nel. "Naruto won't lose to anyone like Yamamoto. Besides, no matter what the old guy does he can't kill Naruto." She said confidently.
"What makes you so sure that Naruto will win and live?" Toshiro asked. Unnerved by Nel's seemingly unwavering faith that Naruto will win.
She turned and smiled at them. "Because only Naruto's tear can kill him." She said in a riddle cryptic manner.
"Not another riddle. But hey wait? Why did you just give us the key to helping us defeat Naruto?" Toshiro asked confused.
She again looked at them. "Because, all planning is useless against Naruto. It doesn't matter if you had his tear, you would never know how to kill him with it. Anyway, specking of riddles, did you figure out who made the Arrancar Army yet?" She asked smiling.
Toshiro blinked. "OH man I completely forgot about that!" He yelled.
"Wow... you must suck at riddles."
"It's the riddle you gave." Nel looked at Rangiku. "No one has more or less eyes than any other. And no one smiles forever." She told her.
Nel tilted her head. She reached into a packet and pulled out a pair of glasses and put them on. Toshiro and Rangiku were lost at her reaction. Then Nel gave a big Grinch like grin then covered her eyes. Rangiku was still lost.
Toshiro's eyes widened. A few faces came to mind. 'The one with the most eyes...' A mental picture of Aizen came to mind. 'The one with the least eyes...' A mental picture of Tosen came to mind. 'And the one with the Forever smile...' A mental picture of Gin popped up. "Rangiku! We have to get to Central 46 now! And stopped this meaningless fighting!" He ran in the direction of Central 46. Rangiku close behind him.
Nel watched the two run as fast as they could. "Well at least they got it." Nel continued her search.
(Back with Naruto)
Yamamoto was across from the massive explosion. "That should finish him." The head captain said to himself.
Everyone, who was not fighting, looked up, waiting to see if the enemy was done for.
"It's over..." He said again. Only to have a cero fired at him with speed he never saw before. He managed to dodge it but it skinned him enough on his left shoulder to draw blood.
"Bala... old man."
Yamamoto looked up to see Naruto, his white armor looked a little burnt but he was otherwise alright. "Not possible... I hit you, I saw it myself."
"I know. But it's what you can't see that it hurting you. Not that I'll tell you." Naruto gave a small grin. He could hear Forbidden Angel yelling at him to use Bankai.
Yamamoto looked at Naruto with a scowl. Then his eyes widened.
"I see you've notice... that not only has my mask made a type of armor around me, but the air around me is also dense in spirit energy." Naruto confirmed what Yamamoto felt. "My defense has 3 layers when in this form. The first is the air, then my armor is 2nd and finally my skin itself is my last line of defense. So only the strongest of attacks can breach it. Gran Ray Cero!" Naruto fired a powerful cero at the head captain.
"Way of Binding: Severing Void!" The head captain protected himself with a shield.
The Gran Ray Cero hit the shield and at first nothing happened. Yamamoto was struggling to hold up the barrier, soon hair line cracks were forming on his barrier. He was losing this face off. The barrier broke and Yamamoto was hit by Naruto's Gran Ray Cero and hurdled to the ground with a massive explosion. The dome of fire made a part of the Seireitei a wasteland.
"Can it be that easy?" He asked himself. Naruto felt a buildup in Spirit energy. "Guess not."
"Way of Binding: Nine-Daylight Bonds!"
Naruto went wide eyed when he suddenly felt constricted. 8 black holes surrounded Naruto and serial wide beams of light connected to his chest. "This won't hold me forever old man." Naruto yelled as he struggled to get out of the binding spell.
"Not forever... just long enough for this! Way of Destruction: Lone Blade Cremation!" Yamamoto yelled as he unleashed one of his strongest attacks at Naruto.
Naruto struggled more so now than ever, but it was too late as he saw the red tip of a blade coming at him. Unable to move he put all of his power into his protection to defend himself. "AHHHHHHHHHH!" Pain, for the first time in about 1000 years he felt true pain.
Everyone that knew him, or somewhat knew him, looked at him as he screamed. Orihime and Nel's world seemed to stop. Naruto seemed so... untouchable... no one could have even put a scratch on him, and yet...
"AH!" Naruto's armor that his mask made shattered. His Arrancar like cloths were tattered and mostly ruined. Only his mask remanded but the part that covered his right eye and his right side of his head was gone. And he was bleeding. He yelled in pain when he hit the ground at a 45 degree angle behind him.
Yamamoto was breathing heavily. "It's over..." Then, an even greater build up of spiritual power, greater than his own, came from the rubble of where Naruto landed. Then something covered in black energy shot out of the rubble and hit the head captain. "Ugh!" Head Captain Yamamoto was launched a few yards away from the black energy encased being. "It... can't be..."
Naruto was now fully recovered and his mask fully repaired and even starting to cover most of his body in armor again. "I never thought you'd bring this out of me... I've never had to use this on one man before... fell honored..." Naruto built up even more spiritual pressers. "Ban... kai..." That one word echoed throughout the Soul Society. 4 black energy beams twisted as it was absorb by Naruto's Forbidden Angel to go into Bankai mode. Naruto's shikai dispersed in black energy and started to reform around Naruto's right hand. It started to form black crystals around his hand from his wrist to about 4 inches past his fingers.
(AN: my profile Queen of the Night elves, the right hand)
"I'd never thought I had to use this." The black energy seemed to come from nothing. It was pitch black, formed from complete darkness. "Darkness Blade..." Naruto swung his blade slowly downward. A black blade of energy dashed at Yamamoto.
Yamamoto barley dodged it but he was still cut into by an invisible force, but he shrugged it off. Both powerful and seemingly immortal beings of power used Flash Step and Echo Flash to close the gap between each other. There two blades collided with each other. The black energy of Darkness surrounded Naruto while the red energy of fire surrounded Yamamoto. Each one fighting to overpower the other. But Naruto's power proved to be stronger than Yamamoto's and Yamamoto was forced back. Yamamoto flew back far away from the place that he and Naruto clashed. But Naruto was on him in a second.
"Taimatsu!" The fire consumed Naruto, but Naruto went right through it like it was nothing but a calm breeze. Then did one powerful slash across Yamamoto's chest.
Yamamoto felt his power dropping. He felt weak... he hadn't felt like this in almost 800 years since he became the Head Captain. "I will not lose to you Uzumaki!" He built up massive amounts of spiritual pressure. "Flames of Hell!"
Massive pillars of flames erupted around the Seireitei. The only place that wasn't in the line of fire, no pun intended, was the 4th barracks. Where everyone, who wasn't fighting, was at to be as safe as possible. All of the Vice captains and Captains, say for a few, and Orihime and Nel we're their holding up a barrier, the strongest they could muster to protect against this all powerful attack.
"Is Naruto going to be alright?" Orihime asked. She was worried for his safety.
"Not sure. That's Old Man Yamamoto's strongest attack. Naruto might get killed." Jushiro answered Orihime's question.
"Oh please." Nel snorted in an unlady like manner. "Like I said to Captain Retsu when we first met face to face. Against the power that Naruto has, all planning is meaningless. Naruto isn't even going all out yet."
This got shocked looks from all of the soul reapers.
Using Flash Step he got behind Naruto and bear hugged him. "You and I will burn together... in hell."
Naruto spared a look to Yamamoto. Then looked at the flame pillars that were coming for him. "You forget old man... I don't give up, this little light show is nothing... MY POWER!" He blew back Yamamoto with sheer force alone then raised his Bankai blade in the air. "Eclipse Maelstrom!"
Darkness... the feeling of utter despair, regret, and powerlessness. That is what everyone felt when Naruto called out his next attack. Black winds flowed around Naruto's Bankai blade. The black winds were calm at first, and then turned into a true raging storm, or Maelstrom. The black vortex of Darkness collided with the fire pillars.
Everyone watched in fascination, awe and fear. None more so than Yamamoto.
The power of Yamamoto's flames was snuffed out by the power of Naruto's black storm. When the storm subsided there was nothing around Naruto. All of the buildings that were near Naruto when he did his attack just vanished. Yamamoto looked utterly shocked. Naruto pointed his Bankai at the Head Captain.
"Tera Cero..."
A giant sized black cero emanated from the tip. Then it fired just as fast.
Yamamoto had little to no time to think. "Way of Binding: Tozansho!"
A blue inverted pyramid surrounded Yamamoto.
"That won't work old man..."
The Tera Cero went right past it as it wasn't even there. Yamamoto had enough time to look shocked before he was hit with the Tera Cero. The once blue inverted pyramid became black then shattered from the inside. A massive shockwave came from the epicenter of devastation that was Naruto's attack.
(End Treachery - Bleach Movie 2 Soundtrack)
"Tera Cero... the most dangerous Cero in this world... it is not only unblock able... but it bypasses any and all defenses to hit its target. You either avoid it or shoot something stronger at it. That simple old man..."
"Then it's a good think I avoided it." Naruto turned around when he felt Yamamoto behind him.
"Ikkotsu!"
Naruto put up his other hand but the old man's attack hit home. Naruto was hit so hard he was sent back to the execution site. The force of his impact was so great it destroyed the site utterly. Rubble piled up on Naruto as Yamamoto waited for him to show up. He wasn't disappointed as Naruto shot forward and attacks Yamamoto. The old head captain dodge and Flash Step away from Naruto.
"I won't bother asking 'how' you did it..." Naruto stated. "Let's just move on..."
"Yes... lets... You are a worthy opponent... Naruto Uzumaki.
"As are you Head Captain Yamamoto."
"But this end now!" Yamamoto's spiritual presser built up to unfathomable heights. Anyone and everyone felt it. A power that they have never felt in their entire existence.
"Blaze and Burn with the fury of 1,000 sunsAncient Sun King. Ban..." Everyone but Naruto froze... "Kai..."
(Play White Knight Chronicles - Ancient Heartbeat - King of the Sun)
Yamamoto was covered from head to toe with white hot flames. The intensity of the heat was getting to everyone, aside from Naruto, he only sweat a bit from the heat, even the ones behind the barrier that was suppose to keep all of the lose spiritual pressure from them. Even behind Naruto's mask armor he felt the heat. He knew the old man let lose his greatest and most terrible power. The true ability to turn all creation to ash.
It took a few more minutes, but the fire died down enough for people to look at Head Captain Yamamoto. He was literally on fire. The lower have of him was gone and nothing but flames was seen. Naruto could see the old man's muscular arms the old man's body and his head. But he was nothing but fire. The fire behind the old man rages as if a wild fire being feed by raging winds. Over all, the Head captain has become a giant blazing fire ball with an upper body.
"This is my Bankai! You are the first one to face it. And soon to be the last." Yamamoto said in a voice a little different from his own but his tone could still be heard. Then Yamamoto appeared in front of Naruto. This time it was Naruto's turn to go wide eyed. "Ikkotsu."
Naruto put up his left hand to block but it was pointless. The force of the attack was enough to almost shatter what was left of Naruto's armor and sent him flying. But Naruto was not given any time to relax as Yamamoto was behind him as Naruto arrived at the other end of the Seireitei. "Ikkotsu." With another flaming punch Naruto was again sent flying. Some of his armor breaking off.
(With Nel and Orihime)
"Naruto..." Orihime said with fear and concern.
"I've... never seen Naruto..."Nel was in shock and fear."Is it possible that Naruto can lose?"
"I've never seen the old man use his Bankai." Shunsui said while shaking a bit. Never had the old man used his Bankai. And such a frightening Bankai it is.
"Naruto... he... can't lose, he said he won't. He promised that we'll all go back home together." Orihime sad while having tears in her eyes.
(Back with the Fight)
"Ikkotsu." Yamamoto hit Naruto in his head. This sent him flying to the center of the Seireitei. Yamamoto was there waiting for him. "It's over! Sokotsu!"
Yamamoto hit Naruto to the ground.
(End White Knight Chronicles - Ancient Heartbeat - King of the Sun)
Pain. Naruto has felt it before. Just not in a very long time, and never to this extant. In fact, he hasn't felt any pain in over 1000 years so his pain threshold has lessened considerably. "It hurts to move anything." Naruto said to himself in a weak voice. 'I never thought that this old man would be so strong. But then again, I always knew he could do what so many others had tried.'
"I won't allow you to recover, this is thy end!" Yamamoto raised his right arm high into the air. He was honorable, but he would not let his honor endanger the Soul Society. "Divine Sword: Phoenix Saber!" A massive blade of fire. It was at least 30ft high. "This one moment, I've wait and train for this one moment for 800 years. Now die Naruto Uzumaki!"
Naruto looked up, unable to move because of Yamamoto's attacks. 'I should have used my Resurrección...' Naruto looked helplessly at the fire attack.
"Santen Kesshun! I reject!"
A shield was put in front of Naruto and Yamamoto's oncoming attack.
"Soten Kisshun! I reject!"
Naruto looked up in front of him to see Orihime. He thought that she was nowhere near here. But he also saw Nel next to her.
Yamamoto was furious that his most powerful attack was stopped by a mere shield.
Naruto felt his power come back to him. Orihime was healing him, she did get better with her healing abilities.
Yamamoto looked to where the shield came from. 'A girl? A human girl? She managed to stop 800 years worth of training with a mere barrier!' The mere thought of it made Yamamoto's blood boil. "I'll deal with you two first." The head captain appeared in front of both Nel and Orihime in an instant. Both girls and Naruto were shocked. "Dragon fire!" Yamamoto was aiming for Orihime.
"NO!"
"Augh!"
"Nel!" Orihime yelled as Nel took the hit for her. A large gash formed from Nel's left shoulder to mid torso.
"Now for you!"
"Darkness blade!"
"Huh?"
Naruto attacked from behind and managed to force Yamamoto away from Orihime. "Thank you Orihime." Naruto managed to pant out. "Look after Nel. And no matter what happens. Please don't think anything less of me." Orihime was confused about what he just said. But nodded as Orihime ran to heal Nel who was badly wounded.
Naruto was enraged. No, beyond that. He had no words to describe what he felt for Yamamoto right now. "I've held back my full power for too long... it's time to release it." Naruto said to himself.
Both Naruto and Yamamoto met once more hovering above a near destroyed Seireitei. The place was little more than ruins now. "I wasn't going to kill you Yamamoto... but now..." Naruto raised his left hand to the back of his left shoulder. Naruto's second Zanpakuto came from it. It was the red hilt one, the one he never used before.
"I will destroy you before you can do such a thing!"
"Too late... old man..." Naruto built up his final amount of his spirit energy. Behind the barrier or not. Yamamoto or not. Everyone was stopped in their tracks.
Naruto pulled his red Zanpakuto and through it up into the air. There it hovered. The light of the sun reflected off the blade. Then thunder storm clouds formed suddenly. The sun became eclipsed and it was as if it was night. The clouds covered Naruto's Zanpakuto.
Yamamoto wanted to move. He wanted to stop Naruto, but he couldn't.
"Descend from the Corrupted Heavens... Fallen Goddess... Kyuubi..."
Naruto's Zanpakuto descended slowly from the clouds then fell at high speeds and stabbed Naruto in his heart. Black and red spirit energy started to form around Naruto as he was going to release his ultimate form.
(Play Bleach AMV Yammy, Stark, Barragan, Halibel - The Sorcerer Remix)
"Meet my turn form..."
Naruto was engulfed in black spirit energy. Everyone watch as a feeling of great power was coming from the black mass. The black spirit energy had a red tint to it. Yamamoto felt this only one other time in his life.
The first thing to appear from the black mass were a pair of hands. They were powerful looking, and claw like there was also some short of hole that rose from the back of the hand. Then a black blade came from both of these holes. Like Naruto's Bankai. The next were a pair of feet. No shoes or any of the short, the toes were clawed, similar to Ichigo Hollow form. From there the body. It was covered from top to bottom in armor. The armor was thick and heavy looking. Then finally the head was revealed. Teeth. Sharp teeth like that of the Kyuubi. Big eye holes form Naruto's eyes could be seen. But instead of blue eyes like his friends are use too, they were red and silted like a fox. Two horns shot straight back from the top of his head and 2 more on the each side of his mouth forming tusks. But Naruto's transformation was not done yet. 9 black energy beams shot out of Naruto's lower back, forming 9 tails. But not a fox's tails. Each tail was long and sinister looking. A Xenomorph warrior tail. Topped off with a spike for good measure. And finally on each tail was a hole.
(AN: if someone can draw this I'd appreciate it.)

Time seemed to end for everyone, Yamamoto most of all. Yamamoto felt like he was going to die. He looked into Naruto's red hollow eyes. Then Naruto vanished.
"Huh?"
5 claw marks formed on Yamamoto's flame body. He felt it and he felt like he was bleeding. "My fire armor...?"
"My power is beyond that of your pathetic little fire armor. There is a reason that I'm the Majesty Vasto Lorde Forsaken of this world." Naruto voice was void of all the good that was once his own. "But there is no reason to talk anymore. This is your last night you will see." This was true. The sun was long gone and the moon had taken over. Naruto pointed one of his clawed fingers at Yamamoto. "Black Cero!" The black beam fired so fast there was no time to think of any form of escaping. The cero hit dead on.
"AHHHHHHHH!" Yamamoto screamed as the power of Naruto's greatest form overwhelmed him.
All of the other fights had long since ended. Ichigo was wounded on the ground near where he fought the 6th Captain. He watched in awe and fear at the power Naruto wields. Yoruichi and Soi Fon we're with the rest of the group at the 4th Barracks. Yoruichi wondering if this is what Naruto meant when he said that his very existence is a treat to the existence of all others. But, she was more afraid of Naruto losing the kind part of himself. The part of him that Yoruichi likes to tease.
"Is that all you got?" Naruto in his demonic voice asked. "I guess it is... then, let me end you with this."
Yamamoto was not going to let Naruto do anything more to him. "Dragon fire!"
Yamamoto's fire came at Naruto at extreme speeds. But was snuffed out by an invisible force.
"Such a weak attack old man." Naruto held out his hands. Then closed them. "Chains of Fear!"
A dozen small black portals formed around Yamamoto and chains of darkness chained Yamamoto in black. Even his fire was useless against them. While Yamamoto was blazing hot, these chains seemed to snuff out the heat and cool him down.
"Time to die old man..." One of Naruto's tails slowly point to Yamamoto. Naruto grinned, if only other people could see it.
"Show me you're Courage... I'll show you Fear. Cero of Fear." A black cero formed with the symbol of Fear inside it.
"Show me you're Friendship... I'll show you Loneliness. Cero of Loneliness." A black cero formed with the symbol of loneliness inside it.
"Show me you're Love... I'll show you Hate. Cero of Hate." A black cero formed with the symbol of Hate inside it.
"Show me you're Knowledge... I'll show you Uncertainty. Cero of Uncertainty." A black cero formed with the symbol of Uncertainty inside it.
"Show me you're Sincerity... I'll show you Selflessness. Cero of Selflessness." A black cero formed with the symbol of Selflessness inside it.
"Show me you're Reliability... I'll show you Illusion. Cero of Betrayal." A black cero formed with the symbol of Betrayal inside it.
"Show me you're Kindness... I'll show you Cruelty. Cero of Cruelty." A black cero formed with the symbol of Cruelty inside it.
"Show me you're Hope... I'll show you Hopelessness. Cero of Hopelessness." A black cero formed with the symbol of Hopelessness inside it.
"Show me you're Light... I'll show you Darkness. Cero of Darkness." A black cero formed with the symbol of Darkness inside it.
Each tail with each different cero pointed inward and a new cero formed at the end of Naruto's tusks. "Combined... they form... a cero more powerful than any other." All of the ceros formed into one. "Cero of Evil!"
The cero fired a black wave of nothingness and evil. Head Captain Yamamoto closed his eyes. He knew if he dodged others would take the hit. He let the cero hit him without trying to escape.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The scream could be heard all over the Soul Society. The scream that felt like forever ended soon after it started. The explosion silenced the screaming and smoke was coming from where the Head Captain once was. Something fell towards the group at Barrack 4. Landing in the courtyard of the 4th Barrack was Head Captain Yamamoto. His broken sword near him and he was in his normal form again. He was covered in his own blood, he had lost. A few of the officers of the 4th squad ran to help him. But something landed in the courtyard as well and the force of the shockwave blew them away from the old man. The clawed foot of Naruto stepped on Yamamoto's head. Both of Naruto's Bankai blades on his hands pointed at the old man's head.
"So... I have lost..." Yamamoto stated more than asked. "It shames me that someone who has lost his mind to his own power, a mindless beast such as yourself beat me.
(End Evil Techno - Sanctuary of Rebirth)
A black cero formed at the end of Naruto's tusks.
"Showing no mercy...? Just like a true hollow. You said that you have grown past such a state. This just proves that you are just a mindless monster. Just like 800 years ago and now." Yamamoto told Naruto as he was forming the cero bigger and bigger.
Near-by Orihime, Nel and Yoruichi watched in horror at what Naruto had become. Orihime more so because this was just like how her brother Sora turned out. Naruto had become something he's not. She had tears in her eyes. Is this what he meant? 'Please don't think anything less of me.' She didn't get those words at the time. But...
Orihime ran to Naruto. "Orihime NO!"
"Naruto, you've got to stop right now!" Orihime yelled as she ran to him. Naruto's cero dissipated as he looked at Orihime. She say not the kind and loving blue she's use too, but the unforgiving and hateful red that is this... thing that was not Naruto. She latched onto his arm. "You won Naruto. He's defeated. This isn't like you! You've got to stop!" Although Orihime was freighted by Naruto's appearance, she was sure without a doubt that he wouldn't hurt her. A long moment past by. Then a bright blue glow surround Orihime. The glow died down and Orihime saw the blues eyes once again.
"Huh? Orihime? What's wrong?" Naruto felt that his foot was on something so he checked. He saw Yamamoto all banged up. Then he remembered his fight with him. Naruto had a headache.
"You... girl... why?" Yamamoto asked still prone and still on the ground.
Orihime looked confused. "Why what?"
"Why... why did you save me? You could have let him kill me and cripple the Soul Society. Why did you save my life?" He asked.
"Because, we came here to save a friend. Not kill people." She gave her smile that warms hearts in, almost, everyone man. Yamamoto was no different. "You're not a bad person; we just needed you out of the way to save Rukia." She told him.
The old captain nodded.
Orihime Nel and Yoruichi helped Naruto up. "Thanks girls." Naruto said with a smile.
Yamamoto looked at the smile that Naruto was giving. 'It's not one of intent to kill or manipulate. He truly cares for them. I... was wrong.' . "I'm sorry Naruto Uzumaki... I... I was wrong about you." He said out loud to him.
Naruto, with the help of Nel and Yoruichi, turned around to face the old man. "It's alright. Hell, I was wrong about you soul reapers for the most part. I thought that none of you had any honor when I first came here. You and the other captains proved me wrong." He smiled. Naruto saw a flash and someone was behind the Head Captain. "Huh?"
"Connection complete. My I have your attention please, all captains, vice captain, and seated officers. And also the humans. This is squad 4 vice captain Isane Kotetsu with an emergency announcement please listen carefully as it will not be repeated and is absolutely true..."
"AIZEN!" Naruto yelled. He completely forgot about the traitor.
Yamamoto looked behind him to see the 'dead' captains raise his blade. "I can't pass up this opportunity." Aizen said then brought down his blade.
(END)
Finally. Over 12k words, I hope the final fight with Naruto and Yamamoto was good enough. Till next time.
R and R
