THE SOUL SOCIETY
ujinomaru: you cant be serious. take karoshi into the soul society and then ask the head captin to train a kid hes never heard of? sasuke: its the only option. theres no running a human through the soul reaper academy. naruto:...give it a shot. ujinomaru: what!? naruto: you heard me. try it. ujinomaru: lord hokage, reconsider! naruto: we wont know how things will turn out untill we try. its an order ujinomaru. ujinomaru: *sigh* as you wish lork hokage. ill give him some recovery time and take him in a week. (ujinomaru walks out of the room) sasuke: why so quick to order this naruto? naruto: that kid reminds me of us way back. i wanna help him go as far as possible. the first sould reaper ninja hybrid? karoshi can become a true asset to the village. people will stop hateing him. sasuke: i see. i hope it goes well. ill be escorting them. i know how to get there. naruto: oh? sasuke: lets just say, through my travels ive picked up a few friends.
(one week later) ikiru: so your going for some solo training eh karoshi? karoshi: yup. uncle sasuke is taking me. ujinomaru sensei will stay with you guys to train you and handle missions. ill be back. i just dunno when. hanako: good luck karoshi! ikiru: (thinking: shes awfully exited about him leaving) sasuke: well were off. see ya guys later. (they depart) karoshi: so where are we going? sasuke: getting to the soul society is normaly impossible without one of two things. you to die, or a soul reaper to open the entrance for us. karoshi: im assuming you know someone? sasuke: yes. (after some time of traveling they arrive at a small town) sasuke: here we go. karoshi: what is this place? sasuke: for a long time this was head of soul reaper activity. ichigos home town, karakura town. my soul reaper contact also lives here. he runs alittle shop in the town.
sasuke: here. this is the place. karoshi: (is reading store sighn) "urihara shoten"? sasuke: (walks in through the sliding doors) kisuke! where are you? (a mans voice is heard from another room) voice: yes! come in! sasuke: follow me. (sasuke leads karoshi into the next room and sitting there is an odd man. he possesses a green and black hat with longish blonde hair. he wears a basic tan kimono with a black and green kimono over it. he walks with a cane though he seems to walk just fine) sasuke: its been along time kisuke. kisuke: sasuke? what are you doing here? i havent seen you since you left the akatsuki. sasuke: its been ages kisuke. how are things? kisuke: well thus far the shop is doing good and im managing. i assume your not just here to see me? sasuke: well i need a favor. lets talk in private. ill explain.
(after sasukes explination) kisuke: is it really possible? a ninja/ soul reaper hybrid? sasuke: it looks that way. i know you were a soul reaper and can get us to the soul society. we need to get there. kisuke: its a nice thought but you dont wanna be in the soul society right now. karoshi: i dont care. send us anyways. sasuke: wait, why not kisuke? kisuke: well...theres been some issues recently. i cant say. sasuke: well send us anyways. we can manage. kisuke: knowing you, theres no fighting this. so be it. ill have the entrance in a moment. (draws sword from cane) karoshi: cool! sasuke: wait till we see the soul society.
(after a few moments the entrance is ready for passage) sasuke: thank you kisuke. were heading off now. kisuke: good luck...(karoshi and sasuke go through and it closes behind them)...youll need it. (mean while sasuke and karoshi emerge on the other side) sasuke: what the? this cant be right. (as the two look around the soul society seems totally crushed. the buildings are in shambles. and weird creatures liter the streets eating the bodys of fallen soul reapers) sasuke: dont get close karoshi. those are hollows. unrestfull spirits who eat souls to fill there hole. each hollow has a hole as a representation of there unrestfull soul. karoshi: gross. those things are ugly. sasuke: we need to know whats going on. come, were going to the barraks of squad one. folllow me and do not separate. you do not have the power to fight a hollow and live.
(they travel aways without disturbance. the hollows seem to preocupied with there meals. finnaly they reach squad ones barraks witch still stand as a fortress) sasuke: there should be some allies in here. karoshi: uncle! look out! (karoshi tackles sasuke down just managing to save him from the whiping tail of a massive hollow.) sasuke: shit, one of them found us! hollow: here snackies! (attacks trying to eat them. sasuke jumps to the side holding karoshi avoiding the attack. the hollow whips its long tail at them and they barly manage to escape) sasuke: shit. we gotta run. but where to? this place is filled with hollows!
(suddently karoshi and sasuke feel an enormous spiritual pressure. the hollow and them are unable to move from there spot. suddently the hollows tail is slashed off so fast, that the culprit was not seen. suddently a voice speaks) voice: getsuga...tenshio! (a wave of black energy is hurled at the hollow spliting it right down the middle) sasuke: incredible. only one man is capable of that feat. voice: who are you both? (standing behind the two is a man in a large tan cloak with a hood. while his face is hidden his sword, now at sasukes throat, is very visable. it is solid black but rather short. almost like an extra long and thick knife.) sasuke: my name is sasuke uchiha. im from the world of the living. with me is someone of intrest to you...head captin ichigo korosaki. ichigo: how do you know my name? sasuke: that zanpakto is regognizable from anywhere. its the smaller of the two you have. karoshi: zanpakto? ichigo: you know alot about me. then your not a foe? sasuke: no, quite the opposite. more or less, im just confused.
ichigo: well talk inside then. come. (sasuke and karoshi follow the cloaked ichigo into the barraks. he leads them to a small room. his private quarters. when they walk in ichigo pulls his hood down. his orange hair is longer than before covering his left eye and reaching down to his lower neck. he has a full goatee and moustache atached to his side burns and a scar over his right eye. the cloak is ichigos captins coat but it is so dirty it is almost grey. now its used as a cloak with a hood. ichigos swords are on his back) ichigo: please excuse the rough welcome. sasuke: what is wrong with the soul society? ichigo: ah yes. sit. this may take a while.
ichigo: alright listen carfully. sasuke. are you familiar with the term arruncar? sasuke: yes. a half soul reaper, half hollow being. ichigo: many years ago when i was still a substitute soul reaper, i fought the arruncars and there leader aizen. we won and the arruncars were thought to have been exterminated. untill 5 years ago when a freak attack occured in a ruarl part of the soul society. a soul reaper was found eaten. and the culprit was a man looking person. he was an arruncar. and his power was un real. he killed hundreds before he went down. we should have seen it coming. the new aruncars witch exist in waco mundo possess power far greater than the original ones. and they invaded the soul society. theyve been pushing us back for 4 years. theyve nearly taken the soul society. sasuke: so thats why.
sasuke: ichigo...i wish to make a request of you. a bargain if you will. ichigo:...im listening. sasuke: these aruncars possess unreal power. but what if we had a power house of our own? this child is that possibility. i ask that you train him to be a soul reaper. and in return we will offer battle streignth. ichigo: what can you hope to offer us? sasuke: im a very capable fighter. but if this kid becomes a soul reaper, all of his attacks can harm his foes. were talking about raising a one man army. if we get karoshi to master his soul reaper powers, we can plan an all out attack on the enemy fort. combine the power of the 13 gourt guard squads with the very first ninja, soul reaper hybrid we may raise the most distructive force since the shinobi alliance!
ichigo: thats quite a tail you spin sasuke. why should i belive it? sasuke: i have no proof. only train him and see for yourself the power this child has. ichigo:...hmm...you seem sincere for sure. you have alot of confidence in this child. sasuke: i do indeed. ive seen karoshi fight. he has a psecial trait that only three others have. ichigo: and that is? he has both something to prove and the guts to never give up! ichigo: *smiles* very well. youve peaked my curiosity. i need to see this for my self. prepare yourself karoshi. i will train you into a top notch soul reaper.
