Okay this is the beginning of my completely fanfic only 'Great Chase' ark. If you can't figure out why it's called that then... I recommend brain surgery. Or just asking me I suppose.
Disclaimer: I did own some Ramen but Naruto took it away DX I also don't own Naruto or Bleach.
Naruto was sitting at Kisuke's Table, happily slurping up some ramen. Having no where to stay other than abandoned houses, he had gladly taken up on Urahara's offer to stay there for a bit. Beside him, there were fifteen empty bowls piled up high. Yoruichi was curled up in Naruto's hair, one of the most comfortable places in the world in her own opinion. Across from Naruto Kisuke was sitting with his legs folded, his fan out and a grin on his face. Although the grin was mostly fake, as inside he was still flinching from the price that all this Ramen had cost him.
So then Naruto," Urahara said, "I was hoping you could answer some questions for me."
"Umm (slurp) sure," Naruto said, before moving onto another bowel. "Go ahead."
"Right," said Urahara, not deterred in the slightest. "It's quite obvious that you're holding a lot of your power back. I was wondering what level of Hollow you are. I'm going to guess an Adjucas or maybe even a Vasto lord."
Naruto continued to slurp ramen for a moment before putting it down and looking at Kisuke. The humorous aura in the room seemed to have been replaced with a serious one. Even Yoruichi seemed to tense up. And then Naruto spoke.
"An Adju-what? And what the hells a Vasto Lord."
There was a loud shriek of a meow as Yoruichi fell from Naruto's hair. Urahara would have laughed if he wasn't too busy trying not to face plant himself."
"Umm I don't know anything about levels. I try not to spend much time in Huecco Mundo. It's rather dull there. I train a lot though. I'm a Kage level ninja if that helps."
Never one to be deterred Kisuke just flashed a smile before moving on to his next question.
"When I first brought you here yesterday you introduced yourself as the Prankster God of Huecco Mundo. If you were the single God of Huecco Mundo then Pranking god would have made more sense. But you make it sound like you're a god who specialises in pranking. Does this mean there are other gods of Huecco Mundo?"
Naruto's eyes comically widened.
"Wow, you're really smart. Although that reasoning sounded like total bullshit. Yeah there are four of us. Although Barry thinks he's the only real god and the rest of us are just posers."
Urahara raised an eyebrow, and Yoruichi returned to her position on Naruto's head. Naruto raised a hand and scratched her behind her ear.
"Barry?"
"Yeah Barry. I can't remember his full name. I'm pretty sure it sounded stupid anyway. He made an entire kingdom of Hollows who all worshiped him. Well until they were all killed a few centuries ago anyway."
This time Urahara did lose a bit of his composure.
"An entire army got wiped out?" he said, letting some genuine curiosity into his voice.
Naruto was now on his twentieth bowl of Ramen, and didn't even look up to Urahara when he answered.
"Yeah, some brown haired guy with glasses. Looked and felt kinda like a shinigami actually. He asked me to help him out about a century ago, but his smile looked so fake I just couldn't take him seriously. It was like a child trying to forge a bank note, and decided to print one of the internet. Yes I know what the internet is. I've been around a while. So I decided the guy needed to brighten up you know? So I brightened him up. With a little bit of yellow, a little bit of pink. And nice sky blue hair to finish."
Urahara dropped his fan and his jaw dropped. Yoruichi fell out of Naruto's hair again. Naruto actually stopped eating his ramen for a moment so he could frown at her. They knew he was talking about Aizen, what he said was a basic description of him.
"How…" said Kisuke for once in his life actually speechless.
"How what? It was just some paint. Nothing to gawk over. That blind guy didn't seem to think so though. Tried to kill me after that. There was a guy with a creepy grin there too, but he just broke down laughing. It's nice to know someone appreciates a good joke."
Kisuke and Yoruichi were silent for a minute while they processed this information. But then-
"Bwahahahahaha!" burst out Kisuke, while he banged his fists on the table. Yoruichi seemed to be having trouble breathing. Naruto just grinned, glad they found his story entertaining. He was caught by surprise though when Yoruichi went up in smoke. He stared wide eyed as in the cat's place there was now a naked woman with caramel skin and purple hair rolling around on the floor naked.
"Yoyo's a chick!" he exclaimed in surprise. "A naked chick! A hot naked chick!"
Kisuke carried on laughing but Yoruichi stopped, now fully aware that she'd lost control of her transformation. Not that she really cared if he saw her naked. It's just, she'd lost the ability to surprise him with it now. She looked up to see Naruto with a curious look on his face. He reached out with a hesitant hand. She watched it with a slight glare as it came closer. If he dared try to fondle her she was going to scratch his eyes out. Instead though he brought his hand to behind her ear and started scratching. She couldn't help it. She purred.
Kisuke, who had stopped lauching to watch what was happening, began to giggle again as Yoruichi began purring. Naruto had a satisfied look on his face though. He looked back to Kisuke with a grin, showing he was okay for any more questions.
"R-right," said Kisuke. "Why are you called gods then and what about the other two?"
Naruto brought his free hand to his chin as he gave the question dome thought.
"Well there are several reasons really. The first one is because we were the first natural Arrancar."
Kisuke's eyes widened a little but he didn't interrupt.
"Well except me. I was like this from the start, but the other three all became Arrancer really fast too. The other reason is because we all have abilities which people, or even Hollws really shouldn't have."
"Uh-huh," said Urahara, filing this information away. Hollows like that could cause some real problems if they ever came to the living world. "Can you tell me about these abilities?"
Naruto scratched his chin with his hand, before it reached out for his chopsticks again.
"Well I can tell you about Barry's. But Hashi and Crow are my friends, so I'd rather not tell you about those two unless they say I can. You guys seem nice but I don't really trust you yet. It'll take more than thirty bowls of ramen to buy my trust."
"Really, then how about a hundred?" asked Kisuke pleasantly? But Naruto glared at him.
"I won't rat my friends out, no matter how much ramen you offer me."
He wasn't going to reveal that he was actually tempted. Damn his ramen addiction, it could really function as a weakness sometimes.
Kisuke gave a sigh. Yoruichi just carried on purring. She'd actually managed to move so she was using Naruto's lap as a pillow while he continued to scratch her behind the ear.
"Very well then. What kind of information can you give me on Barry?"
Naruto gave a grin.
"Right well he thinks he's the God King of Huecco mundo, even though he got his ass kicked by Four eyes. He has fast forward and Baywatch powers."
Urahara raised an eyebrow.
"I'm afraid you've lost me."
"Oh well he can make things go really fast, age wise. Like living through your life in a second, you just kind of rot. And he can make things go slow-mo like in that show Baywatch, which makes him pretty difficult to hit. He's the weakest of the four of us, but he's still really dangerous, especially with his powers. We've all learned to counter him over time, but in the beginning he was really annoying. It was never too hard to dodge him but hitting him was a chore."
Kisuke nodded.
"And you mentioned that he works for Aizen now."
Naruto gave him a look.
"Who?"
"…The brown haired guy with the glass."
"Oh four eyes. Yeah I think the guy is really good at Genjutsu. Barry's a little stupid though. With his power he can just speed the Genjutsu up and make it run its course. Or maybe he doesn't have good enough control of his power to do that without harming himself. I'll laugh if he gets killed by his own power in the end. How ironic would that be? But yeah he's part of four eyes Arrancar army."
Kisuke and narrowed his eyes straight away and Yoruichi stopped purring, her own eyes taking on a serious disposition.
"I suspected it but to have it confirmed… about how strong is this Army, and where does Barry rank in it?
"Weeeell I think there are about a hundred Arrancar so far. Well last time I checked anyway. Barry was rank second last time I was there. If I remember right only the top ten strongest are ranked in order of strength but they keep changing. I was rather surprised to finds someone even stronger than Barry there though. I'm actually not sure I can beat rank one. Even if I used my resurrection I think I'd still have some trouble beating that guy. Barry's rank might have changed though. They change all the time. There used to be a pretty green haired girl. She was the only one who would laugh at my pranks. But she's gone now and instead there's a pretty blond girl. The green haired girls disappeared, she's not even there anymore."
"I see. Well Naruto I think our conversation is going to have to stop there. We seem to have visitors. Yoruichi you might want to get changed."
Yoruichi shot up into a sitting position while blinking before notcing the very weak spiritual pressure outside the door. She'd been so busy enjoying herself she hadn't even noticed someone coming. With a poof of smoke she turned back into a cat and hoped onto Naruto's head.
"Not a word of my true form to anyone." She warned, before stretching herself out and getting comfortable.
"Sure thing Yoyo."
Not a moment later the door slid open, and Ichigo walked in.
"Oh, welcome Ichigo, Rukia. How are your wounds?" asked Urahara with a grin.
Ichigo seemed to believe he needed to yank his shirt open to show off his scars for this next part.
"All healed," he said, before Rukia wacked him over the head.
"Ow, what was that for?"
"There is a lady present. Keep your shirt closed pleased."
In reality she just didn't like seeing the scars. They made her feel guilty.
"Well that's good. Oh and what did you tell your father?" asked Urahara curiously.
"I said I was sleeping over at a friends," said Ichigo, as he buttoned up his shirt.
"Well that's fine but… it sounds like an excuse for doing certain other things to me," said Urahara, with a weird look on his face.
"Grr, I'll kill you," muttered Ichigo, but Urahara just walked off into another room.
"Why didn't you just tell him what you're actually doing?" asked Naruto as Ichigo passed him.
"My Dad isn't spiritually aware. He's just stupid. It would be better for him not to know about any of this stuff. He'd just worry."
Ichigo and Rukia disappeared into the next room, leaving Naruto behind who blinked in his confusion.
"But he can see me just fine?"
Ichigo was not happy with his training. For such a small kid Ururu had one hell of a punch. He had no doubt at all that if she landed a hit she would kill him. So he ran and ran like his life depended on it, all to the amusement of a certain shopkeeper.
"Hey Rukia can you hold Yoyo for me please?"
Naruto had come in, without any of them noticing either. Rukia gave him a look but did as asked, taking the small black cat and allowing it to curl up in her arms.
"Hey Mr Hat can you get me out of this thing please," said Naruto to Kisuke, pointing at his body.
Urahara simply nodded before tapping his head with his Cain, expelling Naruto from his Gigai.
"What are you doing Naruto?" asked Urahara. Whatever it was he was sure it wasn't going to be good.
"Well, the thing is that while saving Rukia that day was all well and good, we're all at the mercy of soul society right now. I doubt picking up Rukia is there top priority right now, but next time they'll send a captain without the limiter. If that doesn't work then two captains and so on. It won't take them long to find this place. Strawberry might not have enough time to finish his training so I figured I could go and stall for time."
Urahara frowned. "You're going to soul society? I'm not sure if that's the best idea. Plus it will take me about seven days to open a gate even if you did want to go."
Naruto nodded.
"That's fine I can make my own way. Gargantua can g pretty much anywhere you know, it's just most hollows aren't stupid enough to take it to soul society. Some still do go there though. I'm pretty sure I can get in undetected. I figure if I raise a little chaos I should be able to keep them focused on me. I should be able to keep them occupied for at least a week."
Urahara raised an eyebrow.
"Confident aren't you."
Naruto grinned.
"Yep!"
"Well then get going. You are right, we need all the time we could get. If they'd managed to take Rukia we'd have been given a month to prepare but as it is, they can attack us now whenever they like. Good luck Naruto."
Naruto gave a mock solute.
"Be right back."
And then he reached out and seemed to claw a black hole into existence. Without another word he stepped into it and was gone, the hole closing up behind him.
Just as Naruto left there was a gigantic explosion. Everyone looked over to see Ururu standing tall in front of a giant cloud of smoke.
"We missed it," whined Jinta. "I wonder if he's dead."
Meanwhile Naruto had appeared in Rokungai. He'd squashed down all of his reiatsu, suppressing it completely. He was a lot better at controlling reiatsu than he was chakra. Well he did have thousands of years to learn. He gave a sigh of relief. No Hollow alarms had been triggered. And he'd wound up quite close to the Seiretei.
"Now I just need to get in," he grinned.
It didn't take him long before he made his way over to the first gate where to his surprise a giant dropped down in front of him.
"Halt! I am Jidanbo, the gatekeeper!" None have ever made it passed me! Now state your name and purpose or I will destroy you!"
"Oh my name is Naruto. I have an appointment with Grandpa Yamamoto."
Jidonbo's eyebrows widened.
"You are related to the Captain Commander."
Naruto's foot suddenly crashed into his head, as he landed a rather powerful drop kick.
"Nope!" said Naruto cheerfully. "But he's really old so I call him grandpa."
Jidanbo couldn't hear. He'd fallen over unconscious, causing a small earthquake when he landed.
"Well I guess I'll just let myself in."
Naruto walked up to the gate and hooked his fingers under it. He gave a grunt of exertion as he pulled it up, allowing him to slip through underneath. He dropped it down again quietly, careful not to let it slam.
"Well that was easy. They really need better security. Well I'd better go find the head captain. We need to have a chat."
The captains were all in a meeting, discussing what to do about the current situation. Byakuya was insistent that if his limiter was released then the Hollow would not be a problem, but Mayuri was arguing that a containment team should be sent to capture such a unique Hollow so he could perform some of his tests. Zaraki wanted to go because he wanted to fight the Hollow and strangely enough Shunsui, who said there was something he wanted to check out. Aizen also wished to go, saying he wished to meet such a strange hollow for himself. Yamamoto had been oddly quiet on the matter, allowing his subordinates to argue it out. This continued for about ten minutes before the head captains voice suddenly rung out.
"I know you're there. Reveal yourself."
The captains stopped arguing as they gave the commander a look. They couldn't feel anybody. But someone did appear, in the centre of the room. And no sooner did he appear than he was rushed by Byakuya and strangely by Kaname. But the two captains were stopped when Yamamoto shouted out once more.
"Halt!"
Both captains did so, their blades mere inches away from a still grinning Naruto.
"Naruto Uzumaki. I did not think we would ever meet again."
Naruto flashed him a big smile.
"Nice to see you too Grandpa!"
Then he looked around the room.
"Blimey it's like this is your life in here. Hi Big Sis, hi uncle Jushiro, hi Uncle Shunsui. And four eyes good to see ya again. You too Cheese grin, and I'm sorry Mr Blind person, I'm still trying to come up with a none-offensive nickname for you."
The first three captains mentioned bowed their heads in greeting to Naruto, but the later three did not.
"Cheese grin," mumbled Gin. "Couldn't he have come up with something better?"
"Alright so I seem to know most of you guys but for those who don't I'll introduce myself."
He hoped backwards, away from the two captains adopting his kabuki stance.
"Among the spiritual planes, I have been given many names. Some worship me as a god and others hunt me as the devil. I am the man who makes Harems seem legitimately possible. With just a flash of my sexiness any girl will drop at my feet, and with just a flash of my awesomeness any man will back away from battle with me. I am-"
And at this point he released his reiatsu allowing it to wash over the captains and revealing his status as a Hollow to those who weren't aware.
"The prankster god of Huecco Mundo, Naruto Uzumaki! Believe it!"
Most of the captains were visibly stunned. Some because of the tacky introduction and others because they couldn't believe he was a Hollow. However one captain was not stunned. Retsu Unohana, without ever dropping her disarming smile had saddled up to Naruto, and smacked him on top of his head, causing him to drop down and smack his head of the ground.
"Ow, big Sis what was that for?"
She raised an eyebrow at him.
"Legitimately possible Harem? My, what have you been up to Naruto?"
"Err," he replied, seemingly stuck for words. "That was a Joke."
"As it should be," Unohana answered back pleasantly before shaking her hand out. "You have a very hard head."
"Yeah, it's my anti violent girl defence."
Suddenly he felt a wash of killer intent wash over him.
"Who's a violent girl," Unohana all but hissed, although her smile didn't drop one bit.
"Uhm, not you Big Sis."
Unohana nodded her head happily.
"Good I thought as much."
Seemingly done with scolding Naruto, Unohana turned around and retook her position in the line-up of captains.
"While this has all been very entertaining Uzumaki, what exactly are you doing here, and why did you prevent Captain Kuchiki from arresting a fugitive."
Naruto stood up, rubbing his head. Unohana had a mean swing.
"Because she's not a fugitive. Rukia didn't do anything wrong. Although I really just beat Byakuya up because of his attitude. People should treasure their family, not actively seek to kill their friends. Which reminds me that guy totally tried to murder Strawberry. Aren't there laws against that?"
"Not if he tried to interfere in the mission."
Naruto frowned.
"Oh come on Grandpa he was just trying to help his friend out. Nothing bad has happened. She just saved four lives, and apparently she's going to be executed for it."
Yamamoto narrowed his eyes… or he would have if they weren't already narrowed.
"How do you know about that order? No such information as to Rukia Kuchiki's punishment had been given at the time Captain Kuchiki had been sent to apprehend her."
Naruto realized he had screwed up a bit. How was he going to answer without implicating Urahara. Well how about half the truth. That never hurts.
"You're being played Grandpa. Think about it. You don't think Rukia deserves such a bad punishment either do you."
Yamamoto took his time answering. He realized that Naruto had dodged the question but didn't try to follow up on it. He knew that if Naruto was holding information back then nothing short of a hostage would make him give it up.
"My opinion does not matter. These orders come from central forty-six, whose power was given onto them by the spirit king himself."
"But isn't the fact they would give such an order suspicious? Think about it Grandpa. It serves no purpose. It's far too harsh a punishment for much too small a crime. Plus she's a noble! And what kind of message is it going to send out to the other shinigami? Rukia's actions saved four lives, five if you include her own. The punishment doesn't make any sense unless there's an ulterior motive. And if there's an ulterior motive then it's not Justice, its greed. And I never mistook you for someone who would confuse the two. Are you really going to let this go through Grandpa?"
Before Yamamoto could answer Gin stepped forward, after catching a look from Aizen.
"Forgive me Head Captain but I've been wandering this for a while now. Why are we listening to this Hollow? And why are we not trying to kill it?"
Gin was not prepared for the wave of killing intent that suddenly rose up from three different captains, namely Ukitaki, Shunsui and Unohana.
"The reason for this is simple Captain Ichimaru. One thousand years ago this Hollow before you saved over two hundred shinigami from a horrible fate. Admittedly I attacked him anyway at the time but after five hours of failing to do any damage at all, I gave up. Plus Captain Ukitaki and Captain Shunsui were nagging at me to stop the entire time."
Gin raised an eyebrow.
"Not Captain Unohana? She seems rather protective of him."
"Oh quite the contrary she was trying to help me kill him."
She was the original Kenpachi after all and she'd been rather impressed with his power.
"Well the results of that night was that many shinigami decided to have a party and Naruto was invited. I do remember banning you from the Seiretei the next morning though Naruto."
Naruto frowned.
"Oh come on Grandpa, it was a joke."
"Yes but it took three months to clean up."
Naruto just mumbled something about no-one appreciating a good joke.
"I thought you would have forgotten about it by now."
"I do not forget these things Naruto."
Naruto pouted before he suddenly shook his head.
"We're getting off topic, look you need to look into this. Like now. Just go and ask Central 46 for their reasons, that's all I'm asking. Oh and order all the captains to stay here as well."
Yamamoto was actually about to consider what Naruto had said when he caught on to the implications of his last statement.
"Did you just imply we have a traitor in our midst, Naruto?" he asked. His voice was completely calm but you could feel the anger behind it.
"Urrrrm," Naruto said, considering the best way to answer the question. "Maybe one or two? But I have no proof and I can guarantee they could come up with an alibi so no point in pointing fingers."
Yamamoto considered Naruto's words before remembering something else. When he had come in, Naruto had greeted three captains he knew should not have met him. Kaname Tosen, Gin Ichimaru and Aizen Sosuke. He greeted all three of them even though he should never have met them.
'It's not really proof. He could have just picked those three at random and then come up with nicknames for them on the spot. But this wouldn't be the first time that Aizen has been implicated.'
"Head Captain you cannot seriously believe the words of a Hollow can you?" asked Tosen. "He could simply be here by the order of another Hollow to use your trust in him to spread some anarchy and discord throughout the soul society."
"Regardless of any accusations he does raise a good point," said Ukitake. "If you think about it the punishment of my subordinate decided by Central forty-six does more harm than good. But none of us have put much thought into why Central forty-six would make a decision. I confess I simply assumed they had become high on power and didn't think more of it."
Yamamoto levelled a glare at Ukitaki for his disrespect but didn't comment.
"I agree that an enquiry should be made into this decision and as per Naruto's suggestion I see no harm in the rest of us waiting here for the head captain to return."
Ukitake smiled around at the rest of the captains. There really was no good reason to not do as he suggested.
"Indeed, I second this suggestion," said Aizen pleasantly. He was a little stuck here. He never thought that a Hollow would simply waltz in here and start tearing his plans apart. But all was not yet lost. He had a few more tricks to play. "However the Central has been acting strange as of late. I was rather curious as to the circumstances of the execution myself and decided to seek an audience. However I was refused entry. They are not allowing anyone in until a full two weeks after the set execution date of Rukia Kuchiki. Of course it would be good if they were to make an exception for the head captain, but I'm afraid things may not go as smoothly as you seek."
Yamamoto gave a small nod.
"Very well. I will take Captain Ukitake's advice."
It escaped no one's notice he chalked it up to Ukitake rather than Naruto.
"I will return soon. In the meantime no one is to leave this room."
Yamamoto raised his cane and hit it off the ground once. After that he turned and hobbled out of the room. His walking speed was slow, befitting of an old man. You would never have guessed he was the most powerful of all soul reapers.
There was silence for a few minutes after Yamamoto left. But it was soon broken by Kenpachi.
"So then Naruto. I heard you were pretty strong. Wanna fight?"
He gave Naruto the biggest shit eating grin he could muster.
"Did you say we have to take lessons?" asked Orihime. She and Chad had been called together and were met by a cat.
"That's correct," answered Yoruichi. "In order to help your friend Ichigo you're going to need to train. My lessons are quite strict."
"Sure let's do lessons!" Orihime replied cheerily. So what if she's a cat? Right now I'm being taught by Fairies.
"Good, follow me then," said Yoruichi before trotting off. Orihime quickly followed.
Chad was left standing by himself.
"Orihime answered too quickly. That cat just randomly walked up to us. And they didn't even wait for my answer."
Omake: How Naruto met Ichigo's mother
Masaki Kurosaki was walking home one day when she came across a rather peculiar sight. The was a young man with messy blond hair and a brown cloak who was seemingly standing in mid-air painting her adoptive aunts mansion neon green. She was amazed though because although she could see the man, she couldn't feel him. She just didn't register to her senses.
'He's keeping quite the lid on his reiatsu,' she thought. But then so was she. She'd had to learn to smother he reiatsu so she could sneak out of the mansion without getting caught. So by being as quiet as possible she was able to sneak up on the man without him noticing, close enough to hear him sniggering to himself.
"This will teach those Quincies not to be so high strung. Especially that old grandma. Someone really needs to pull the stick out her ass. Maybe painting the roof neon purple will help."
Masaki couldn't stop herself from giggling. She tried moving her hand to her mouth to stop herself but she wasn't quick enough. The man heard her and quickly spun around.
"Wow, you snuck up on me. No one sneaks up on me! Well except for that cat but that is a really freaky cat I swear. It has powers I swear. Every time we play tag it's like it knows where I am. You'd think it could sense me the way it follows me round."
Masaki had to supress another giggle as the Man went off on a complete tangent apparently quickly forgetting she was even there. So she'd have to remind him.
"My name's Misaki. Misaki Kurosaki. What's yours?" she asked politely.
Naruto stopped his rant to grin at her.
"Did you just ask who I am? Well I'll tell you!"
He jumped into the air and spun. When he stopped his legs were apart and his right arm was straight with the fingers curled and his left was held out in the air.
"Listen up, and do not be deterred if you find you cannot take your eyes of me. It is a common occurrence when one gazes on my awesomeness. Whether you be Shinigami or Hollow, Human or Quincy there are none who have not at least heard legends of my deeds. Yes my legend is carried by the tongue of many, so do not be surprised if you've heard of me. I am the great man who has travelled the desserts of Huecco Mundo from one side to the other, bringer terror and laughter all at once. Those who hear of me shy and cower away knowing they cannot stand up to my greatness. Who am I you ask? I am the Prankster god of Huecco Mundo, Naruto Uzumaki. Believe it!"
Masaki stood silent for a moment. This was a Hollow. He was still keeping his reiatsu compress but she could see the hollow hole. Plus all that talk about Huecco Mundo was a big give away. But despite this, Masaki just raised an eyebrow.
"You really need to work on that."
Naruto dropped his arms and held an expression of disbelief.
"Eh?"
"You need to practice," Masaki continued. "The words didn't flow together well and you didn't say them right."
"I didn't?" Naruto asked. "Wow, no one has ever gave me criticism before. Well what else do you think was wrong with it?"
Masaki put her finger to her chin in a thinking pose.
"Weeeell there were a few other things. Tell you what, I'm going to go inside and get changed and then I'm going out for lunch. In the mean time you finish painting the house, love the colours by the way, and then come with me and we'll go over it. Okay?"
Naruto gave a wide grin and an enthusiastic nod.
"Sure that sounds great. Can we go get Ramen?"
Masaki tilted her head in thought.
"You're a Hollow right? Can you eat ramen?"
Naruto nodded his head vigorously.
"Ramen surpasses all racial, religious and spiritual barriers. It is just that awesome."
Masaki smiled. Then sure we can go get Ramen. Finish painting and then I'll be back out okay."
Naruto just grinned and nodded before grabbing his paint brush and continuing from where he left off.
Masaki headed inside with.
"Man I can't wait till Auntie learns about the house being painted. This will teach her to stop acting like a stuffy old vampire and actually go outside for once."
Okay then, Omake's will be included every other chapter. Most will chronicle Naruto's meetings with other characters. Not all though. now I'm sure your all wondering about the results of the poll. Well so far I've had 149 unique voters, with a maximum of two votes each. And here are the results so far!

So far Yoruichi is in the lead. So if you wanted a particular pairing and it wasn't Yoruichi and you didn't vote... then this is entirely your fault. But fear not, there is still time. So best get your votes in now.
Next chapter- Will Naruto's plan work, or does Aizen have a back-up plan?
