Chapter 13
Crocodile and death encounter one another
The soul society, a place known in human religion as heaven. In reality it was actually a military base for the soul reaper, much like area fifty one. Within the center of this world is the seireitei, here the soliders of this realm are stationed, known as soul reapers. Currently in the middle of the day, we see a new soul reaper. Naruto uzumaki, was currently running to the senzaokyu to rescue tenten.
"I can't believe that woman wanted to stay with that maniac" said our hero as he remembered the events of last night.
flashback
Mayuri kurotsuchi had just liquified and escaped, his lieutenant, nemu kurotsuchi, stayed behind. She walked over to naruto and restored his power by giving heim some of hers. As she was healing him, naruto spoke.
"You know, now is your chance to escape, mayuri is injured and incompacitated, you could slip away, i don't think he would go after you".
"I appreciate the concern, but that man is my creater, and also my master, regardless of how he treats me i could never leave his side".
"I understand, i too had a master once".
"Thank you for sparing my master, if you used full power, you could have killed him".
"Don't thank me, i was trying to kill him but i'm not strong enough yet"
"Oh, well, thank you all the same" said nemu before finishing her work. She then bowed to him and left.
end of flashback
Naruto knew how she felt, jiraiya had been his master. Continuing on the way to the senzaikyu, our hero hoped he could get to it this time without another interception.
At the squad four barracks, ikkaku madarame was resting on a bed when a man walked in, a very large man, at least eight feet tall, muscular, covered in scars. It was obvious he was a captain as he was wearing a white coat. His face also had many scars, an eyepatch on his right eye, and rugged canine teeth, his hair was dark purple and very spiky, even more so than naruto's. The giant's zanpakuto was very long and the blade was shaped like a key, there was no tsuba and the hilt looked like a mix of a gourd and an accordian.
"Hey ikkaku, who did this to you?" inquired the giant.
"Captain zaraki, um the one who did this was named naruto uzumaki. The one with three whiskers on each cheek, he is the ryoka moving about the seireitei" answered the third seat.
"Is he strong?".
"Quite sir, when our battle was over, he didn't appear tired in the least"
Zaraki gained a shark like grin on his face, further showing his rugged teeth.
"Hey, it's baldy, he looks pretty beat up kenny, that naruto guy must be pretty strong" said a little girl with short pink hair, her zanpakuto was no where to be seen. She was sitting on the man's left shoulder.
"Don't call me baldy" said ikkaku tiredly and yachiru then sucked on his head for some reason.
"This naruto must be powerful if he took you down without breaking a sweat". said zaraki.
"Not only that, but i have a strong feeling he is about to achieve even greater power"
Kenpachi's grin only widened at the mention of naruto becoming even stronger. "I can't wait to lock swords with him, which way did he go?".
"He's on his way to the senzaikyu to rescue that girl".
"Got it, yachiru let's go".
"Okay kenny".
The captain and lieutenant were then on their way to face off against the single ryoka.
Naruto had finally arrived at the stairs that lead up to the senzaikyu, hopefully this time there would be no interruptions. Our hero then dashed up the stairs trying to be quick so he would not be attacked.
Nruto reached the top of the stairs and found himself in another hall. This hall had many coloums, like that of mount olympus; it was also very large with no roof, it was a deep royal blue. Naruto sprinted forward looking for the path to the white tower. Just then naruto was struck by a phonomenonal spirit pressure, it was like a ghost was looming over him, it was reality altering, shocking; naruto had never sensed such a thing in his entire life, he was frozen.
In the distance a figure approached slowly, the figure looked demonic and ominous to naruto. The figures's aura radiated bloodlust and battle, it's spiky hair had small bells hanging on; it's zanpakuto was drawn and looked like a rusty key. As the sillhouette drew closer, naruto could make out that the figure was wearing an eyepatch over it's right eye and was wearing a captain's uniform. If the maniacal grin was anything to go by, this thing loved to fight; this monster's psychotic smile was more intimidating than mayuri's, or at least equivocal.
"Are you naruto uzumaki, the one who took down ikkaku?".
"I am, who are you?".
"The name's kenpachi zaraki, i'm the captain of squad eleven, my third seat tells me you beat him without breaking a sweat" kenpachi grinned.
"I want to see just how strong you really are".
"You're kenpachi" said naruto remembering wjat ikkaku told him.
flashback
Naruto had defeated ikkaku, and was about to be on his way to fight yumichika when ikkaku grabbed his leg.
"I have to know something" said ikkaku on the ground.
"What is it?".
"Did you really come here alone, nobody else is with you?".
"Yes".
"Well then, you should prepare yourself; once my captain hears word of you defeating me, there's no doubt he'll come after you".
"Who is your captain?".
"Kenpachi zaraki, of squad eleven; the squad that is credidted for being the best fighters the soul society has to offer, my captain lives for battle, fighting is his addiction, he will most certainly challenge you".
"Thank you for the informatince, i will be on my guard" said naruto as he sprinted up to battle yumichika.
end of flashback
"You're the captainn of squad eleven".
"That's right, and i hope you can make this fun for me". Just then, yachiru appeared and jumped onto kenpachi's shoulder.
"Yay, kenny's about to fight" she cheered happily.
"Yachiru, stay out of this".
"Don't worry i'd never interfere in one of you're fights kenny".
"That girl, who is she; she just appeared out of nowhere, i have a weird feeling about her" thought naruto as the girl gt to the sidelines.
"Bring it, you better be strong".
Kenpachi activated his spiritual pressure, it was so stong naruto had trouble breathing, but not letting it stop him, he drew his zanpakuto and started up his own spirit pressure, kenpachi had not yet released his zanpakuto, so naruto wouldn't either yet.
Our hero charged at the bloodthirsty captain, while the latter just stood still waiting for the attack. When naruto slash made it, kenpachi just blocked it with his sword, looking bored.
"That's it".
Kenpachi kicked naruto away, landing on his knee's, naruto stood up by balancing himself on tozumasen's pummel and charged again. Naruto then charged once again at kenachi, the solo invader attempted a multitude of slashes; first naruto slashed horizontally, then it was a regular barrage of slashes, almost like a mantage.
"This is boring, are you really the one who defeated ikkaku?, i thought you'd at least give me a workout".
"Looks like i'll have to get serious" said naruto holding tozumasen with both hands.
"Attack tozumasen".
Kenpachi watched as naruto's katana morph into a spanish sabre, the demon also felt the spiritual pressure of naruto rise dramatically. Kenpachi's infamous shark grin apeared as he also brought out more of his spiritual pressure.
"Looks like you're finally getting serious, good this is gonna be fun".
With that the two demons, or rather one demon and demon vessel, resumed their battling and clashed. The two swords connected and sparks flew everywhere. Even though naruto had activated his shikai, kenpachi still managed to push him back, not giving up our hero rushed in once again and decided to bring out annd the stopes.
"Power charge".
Naruto's zanpakuto was covered in a lime green light and stiked kenpachi at full power, this time; tozumasen was able to damage kenpachi. Kenpachi now had a large horizontal gash across his chest, but kenpachi only seemed to become even more enthusiastic and his shark grin only widened.
"HAHAHAHAHA, oh yah, now we're talking, show me what else you can do".
"What?, how can he be laughing?, dosen't he realize how badly he's been injured?" thought naruto to himself.
"What's wrong with you, i just slashed your chest, don't you have any sanity?" naruto questioned monotonously.
"Sanity?, why would i want anything so useless, i live for battle, it's my addiction, my passion, my purpose in life. Why would i need something as inhibitory as sanity, fortunatly for me i never had any such thing" kenpachi stated with his face beoming maniacal.
"Very well, you have your way of fighting, and i have mine".
Naruto then prepared his next technique to use agains kenpachi, time dilation was not meant for a situation like this, it was only for getting out of close death encounters; naruto charged at the demonic captain swordsmen and prepared to use his next move. Our hero jumped into the air and moved his arms into nine o'clock.
"Time strike".
The golden clock turned into an emerald and gold ray and blasted kenpachi. The slash was targeted at kenpachi's gash, further injuring him. There was now blood on the tiled floor, and it was coming from kenpachi, who now had a large bloody hole in his chest.
The demon swordsmen looked at his new injury, and upon feeling the pain of it, once again kenpachi's grin appeared but it was slightly different this time, it was now more like the look gaara once held during his battle with rock lee.
"This is fantastic, against you, i think i can fight without any restrictions".
The demonic swordsmen then removed his eyepatch and then yellow spirit pressure exploded out of him, naruto couldn't breath from the demonic spiritual pressure, demonic was how naruto thought to describe it, because kenpachi's true spirit pressure struck him with a sort of haunting feeling, like a vicious specter was looming over him.
"You see i had this made for me at the department of research and development, it's a seal that eats at my spirit energy, restricting my power, so i can take my time and enjoy my battles" said kenpachi grinning.
"I can't believe kenpachi was holding back this whole time, and to think he hasn't even released his zanpakuto yet".
"Hm, what was that?. Release my zanpakuto?, my zanpakuto has no name, mot that it really matters".
"His zanpakuto has no name, how is that possible?" thought naruto to himself.
"Now then, let's get down to some serious fighting" said kenpachi lunging towards our hero.
Kenpachi swinnged his sword in his right hand from left to right in a barrage of slashes, naruto countered with his own strikes. Naruto knew since kenachi's sword was slightly longer than his own, he would have to get in closer to defeat kenpachi.
"Power charge".
Naruto's attack stopped kenpachi's sword long enough for him to get closer, but it was a mistake on naruto's part as kenpachi had been waiting for that and kicked naruto in the chest and sent the invader one yard back. Seeing the opening, kenpachi then resumed his fun and made it obvious with his shark grin. The mad captain was slashing in a frantic matter, like he was eager to see blood, even if it was his own. With kenpachi's power being unrestricted, his slashes were more powerful than before. Eventually naruto was unable to keep up and one of kenpachi's slashes managed to cut naruto's right arm socket.
"Yeah, now we're really having some fun".
They continued to trade blows and cross swords, naruto wasn't sure how long he could keep this up, he remembered his training and thought of what to do in a situation like this, he couldn't find any solution. Naruto never imagined there would be someone so powerful, as naruto struggled against kenpachi's sword and gained several more gashes. Naruto supposed he shouldn't be surprised, kenpachi was a captain, our hero thought he had prepared for anything, but that never seems to be the case.
Kenpachi was really having a hell of a time, naruto might have been his most powerful opponent since he became a captain, kenpachi remembered when he lived in zaraki and he was woken up by ikkaku madarame for a fight. Kenpachi continued to slash at naruto. Kenpachi's technique was nothing but horizontal slashes, his style was no style at all.
Kenpachi's barbarian barrage was taking it's tole on naruto, he could feel himself losing more and more blood, despite swallowing what blood he could, he was still suffering from anemia. Our hero's vision was getting blury and he was slipping into unconciousness, but remembering tenten and everything the've been through; tenten saving him from the pterodactyl and monkey hollows, gaining her powers; killing hollows for two months possibly the most interesting two months of his life, tenten saving the village from the menos grande; not to mention her being kidnapped by the soul society even though he didn't see it happen.
Openeng his eyes, naruto pushed his spiritual pressure to it's limit and by using power charge was able to escape kenpachi's lustful strikes, the lone invader was successful in pushing the demon captain back. Stockpiling all of his remaing spirit energy into tozumasen, naruto charged at kenpachi with everything he had, kenpachi also charged and the two swords clashed. The specter like captain pumped in more of his power while grinning, he was truly enjoying this battle, cracking sounds could be herd and neither swordsmen could tell who's one it was.
Naruto suddenly fell forward and saw that tozumasn's blade had broken in two, kenpachi's sword slashed our hero's left arm and pierced his chest. Blood rushed down the face of kurama's jinchuriki, he was confused, he had given it his all and yet it was his zanpakuto that had cracked. As kenpachi withdrew his sword from naruto's chest, the lone invader fell down on his stomach and was now unconcious.
"You gotta be kidding me that's it?, great just when the fight was really starting to get fun, fox boy goes and dies on me, what a jip".
Kenpach started to walk away and naruto suddenly poked his head up and reached out with his right arm, when all of a sudden the world paused and turned grey. Tozumasen materialized in front of him, the zanpakuto had his arms crossed and also a neutral look on his face. Tozumasen's tail was dragging on the ground as the zanpakuto walked toward his owner. When he finally reached naruto, he looked down and spoke.
"Do you want to win?".
"Tozumasen, i-".
"I asked you a question, do you want to win?".
"Yes, i do, show me the way, master".
"Very well then, take my hand" tozumasen said reaching down with his left hand.
Naruto mustered his strength and grabbed his zanpakuto's hand.
Suddenly the two were enveloped in a light emerald aura that looked like running water, when the beautiful; soothing light faded naruto looked around and saw an orange rocky terrain surounding him. Naruto then felt as if his injuries had been heald and was now able to stand up. Looking up, naruto saw the grass green sky, then walked to the edge of the terrain and saw that they were at the top of the orange mountain inside naruto's inner world. The soul reaper neophyte walked back to his zanpakuto and spoke to it.
"Well i'm ready, show me the path to victory".
"As you wish".
Tozumasen charged at naruto and punched him in tthe stomach, naruto fell on his back and got up, surprised that his own zanpakuto would attack him.
"Tozumasen, what are you doing".
"Exactly what you wished, this is the only path to victory, overcome everything, including what you trust most, you must overcome my attacks, then you will achieve the full power of your shikai, now stand and overcome me".
Tozumasen charged at naruto once again, naruto attempted to fight with taijutsu, but tozumasen stopped him by whipping it's tail and naruto fell over. Tozumasen built up power charge, but with it's right arm instead of a sword. The zanpakuto then attacked it's weilder with the powered up arm, it was about to hit when, naruto blocked it with kido.
"Bakudo #81 danku".
The transparent shield succeded in stopping the attack, but tozumasen was continuing to push it's fist through the kido. Soon it stopped the attack, only to power it up and try again, tozumasen then released a barrage of power charges, the kido managed to withstand it, but it was slowly cracking. Naruto watched his zanpakuto continuely attacking with power charge, naruto wondered how tozumasen could do that without a sword. It was here that our hero realized that his zanpakuto was actually an extension of himself.
After realizing this, naruto cancelled his kido and when tozumasen's next power charge came, the lone invader simply caught it with his left hand. Tozumasen was caught off guard by this, but then took on a look of relief as it was obvious that naruto got the message, but this wasn't the end, the zanpakuto had a few other tests for naruto. Naruto threw tozumasen's arm, then engaged the half crocodile in hand to hand combat.
Naruto was able to hold his own against tozumasen due to his large range of taijutsu styles. Not to say that tozumasen wasn't a ferocious opponent whenever it used it's tail naruto knew to jump,, the zanpakuto's crocodile style of fighting was like nothing naruto had ever faced before. Naruto remembered his training before the hollow invasion, and fought using hakuda as well as taijutsu, soon the two combatants saw that the were equals in taijutsu.
"Very good, but i'm afraid unless you over power me, you will not be able to win against kenpachi".
Just then naruto disappeared into a puff of smoke, surprising the zanpakuto. Then it felt it's tail being grabbed from behind, using judo, naruto lifted tozumasen and began to spin while holding onto the tail, after building up enough speed, naruto released the zanpakuto's tail. Tozumasen was sent flying over the edge of the orange mountain and landed with a loud splash into the emerald green lake.
"Did i do it?".
Naruto wondered if he had won while staring at the lake from the edge of the orange mountain.
Then forest green spiritual pressure errupted from the emerald lake, soon tozumasen surfaced from the beautiful lake and soared back to the top of the mountain. Naruto moved to the center and tozumasen soon floated to where it's weilder stood.
"Well done naruto, you have proven to me that you can overcome any obstacle you may face, your approach to them may not be convetional, but then that wil give you an advantage, it seems you've realized you and i are the same, use me as you see fit".
"Thank you, master, i will be forever grateful to you, let's find the path to victory together".
"Well said, now then be off towards your goal".
Naruto faded from his inner world, from the top of the mountain.
Tozumasen looked on stoically as the wind gathered and swirled together, eventually taking on a silver form until it took the form of naruto's inner hollow, only it was still in midair as the wind swirled all around it. The hollow looked down at the zanpakuto and smiled arrogently.
"Nice job, at this rate, naruto will surpass even you, i can't wait to devour all that incredible power".
"You won't defeat naruto that easily, as it stands, you aren't even powerful enought to defeat me, not to mention naruto becomes stronger with everyday that passes".
"Fair enough, but naruto hasn't realized his true potential...not yet that is, as a hollow my purpose is to devour and devour only, and naruto's true potential will certainly be fufiling, you and i both know it won't take log for that power to awaken".
"You really are nothing but a leeching parasite".
"Look who's catching on, well i better rest up and prepare for the day to establish dominance arrives, train him well tozumasen, make sure he gains all the power he can, because someday it'll all be mine".
The hollow within then disapated along with the wind, passing over the mountain, tozumasen watched in leave and never stoped watching.
"We'll just have to se about that won't we".
Kenpachi was strolling away from the fight when suddenly the demon felt an enormous amount of spiritual pressure coming from naruto. Intriguied, kenpachi turned around and saw naruto standing. His injuries were completely healed and an emerald energy was pouring out of him. His shikai was still activated though something felt different about it, as if the sword had been upgraded, nothing about it's appearance was different but the type of power it was emanating had completely changed.
Feeling this kenpachi grinned and turned around, facing naruto, the demonic captain held his sword with one hand and raised it.
"So, you can still fight huh, good i hadn't had my fill yet, what do you we take it up a notch, get ready cause i'm going full steam now".
"Do your worst, kenpachi".
Kenpachi charged his spiritual pressure, and a yellow aura surrounded him, this aura was gave naruto the hauting; ghostly feeling from before, but naruto had long since conquered his fear of spectors. Kenpachi's spiritual pressure took on the form of a skull, naruto also charged his own spiritual pressure and was surrounded by an emerald green aura. The green aura took on the shape of a crocodile.
The crocodile, was twenty feet tall, shining with emerald spirit energy and black stripes, standing on four legs and had a long tail. It stood behind naruto as it's emerald eyes stared at the golden void eyes of kenpachi's skull.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH".
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH".
Both swordsmen charged at one another, kenpachi's grin was wider than ever hoping this was only the beginning of the battle, naruto on the other hand was ready to finish it.
The two aura's collidedand a greenish-yellow light covered the area, when it died down, kenpachi and naruto were face to face, both bleeding and panting. Kenpachi raised his sword again to continue, but saw that his sword had been broken, and that naruto's was perfectly in tact.
"Well, looks like you win short stuff, you've earned the right to proceed, thanks for the fight, it was fun, you said your name was naruto, well you're strong kid, much respect".
Having said that, kenpachi fell on his back, and groaned. Yachiru then apeared from behind a colum and ran up to the captain, worry evident on her face.
"Kenny, please don't die" she looked like she was about to cry.
"I'm not dying yachiru, i'm just worn out".
"That's so great, i was worried".
"Well, i better get going, goodbye kenpachi, you too yachiru".
Naruto then continued on his way to the senzaikyu, he knew he had used nearly all of his energy against kenpachi, but he had come too far and was determined to save tenten this time, he found the second set of stairs and ran up to the next level. When naruto made it up, he was immediately struck by the presence of another spiritual pressure. Straight ahead, naruto saw kaname tozen in the distance.
"This isn't good, and it's a captain no less" thought naruto.
"I'm sorry but for the sake of peace, i must exterminate you, cry suzumushi".
Kaname paried his sword in front of him, and a sonic sound wave was released, and quickly hit naruto and rendered him unconcious, normally naruto would counter the sound with wind, but had lost too much energy.
"How i detest fighting" sighed kaname as he slowly walked away.
When naruto awoke, he noticed he was lying on a bed, looking around naruto saw he was in a holding cell, then understood he had been captured, also that his arms were restrained by stock. Naruyo had no doubt that there was also a seal on the cell that negated spirit energy.
"What should i do now?" the lone invader thought to himself.
Green notes from the author
I'm sorry it took over a month but there was a lot of planning to do. Does anybody else think that music today isn't as good as the last generation. Music from the early 2000's was the greatest, it was so original and all the artists could actually sing. Music today is just sad, i can't even turn on the radio anymore. i wish i was a teenager in the early 2000's, but what can you do. The next chapter will be out soon and you guys have a good one.
