Chapter 2
(Last Chapter)
Rama, Raksha, and Bullet lead Naruto and the others to a mysterious shrine behind the tower that was in the middle of the forest of death where Yoko whimpered feeling the strange power coming from inside.
Naruto not wanting any harm to come to the young fox kit told Rama and Raksha to take Yoko far away where he will be safe while he check out the shrine.
Naruto walks to the shrine not forgetting to pull out the kunai he was hit with opens the door to see inside but can see nothing but a pedestal with a black box on it opening the box inside there is a blue gem that looks like it is protected by some kind of clear crystal.
When Naruto goes to touch it as if reacting to him the clear crystal shatters and the gem floats out of the box pierces the center of Naruto's chest ignoring the jacket and shirt he is wearing and he is sent out of the shrine into a blissful unconsciousness where Naruto's animal friends rush to him and whimpering for there friend hoping he will be ok.
(Current Chapter)
Naruto Uzumaki 6 years old awakens to find himself in a strange white void. Naruto looks around.
"HELLO IS ANYONE THERE?" Naruto says as he can see nothing but white white and more white everywhere he looks there's nothing but white. Suddenly as if answering his call a voice spoke.
Yes, I am here child the voice said.
Naruto looks around but doesn't see anything and asks well if you are there will you please show yourself?
The voice chuckles my my such a polite child you are very well since you asked so nicely. Suddenly there was a swirl of bluish-white fire Naruto had to back up due to how hot it was. When the fire died down in its place was a young man girls would fawn over if they saw him. He had long bluish-white hair that looked like it was on fire leading down to the middle of his back, bluish-white eyes that radiated nothing but power, a pair of bluish-white waragi (Japanese sandals,) bluish-white hakama pants, and a long bluish-white shihakusho (pretty much the outfit sosuke aizen wore after he defected) and the same gem that pierced the center of his chest on the mans forehead.
Naruto recognizing the same gem as the one that struck his chest says "HEY YOUR THAT GEM THAT PIERCED MY CHEST!."
The man just chuckles and says my you are a smart child.
Naruto asks the man who he is and the man chuckles before saying I have no true name I am simply known as the hogyoku by the one who created me.
Naruto just frowns as even he knows this powerful being is sentient and says what a shame to be known as nothing but a powerful gem.
The hogyoku just shrugged not really caring that people didn't know he was a sentient being the hogyoku smiled seeing the boy really wanted to give him a name seeing nothing wrong with that.
"Very well what kind of name did you have in mind"? the hogyoku asks.
Naruto thinks about this and the hogyoku just waits patiently for the amusing boy to name him which he does not have to wait very long.
"I GOT IT! How about Chikara?" Naruto says to the hogyoku in which the man thinks about it for a few moments then smiles a kind smile.
Chikara huh if I'm not mistaken that means both strength and power.?
Naruto shakes his head which causes the man to laugh good-natured and responds.
Very well you may call me Chikara from now on then the hogyoku or rather the now named Chikara says.
Naruto starts to talk rapidly which causes Chikara to let out another good-natured laugh as he thinks to himself.
Perhaps the boy might be the one to not lose himself and finally master my power in ways my former wielder could not thought Chikara seeing that the boy had a heart that could not be so easily corrupted.
"Naruto sheepishly rubs the back of his head sticks out his hand grabs Chikara's and shakes while saying "MY NAME IS NARUTO UZUMAKI!"
Chikara manages to let out an amused laugh despite being all shaken up by the excited blonde.
He waits patiently for Naruto to calm down so he can inform him of his visit as Naruto calms down.
Chikara says now Naruto I'm sure you are wondering why you are here"? Naruto thinks for a moment then rapidly nods his head causing Chikara to lift an eyebrow deciding to humor his new partner says oh really?
Naruto just nods and tells Chikara the reason for their meeting is it inform him of the great power he now holds as well as the side effects of using such power.
Chikara was stunned at the answer he was given and thought to himself and his memories said he was stupid he is pretty smart for a child you just never stop surprising me do you? He responds that's right Naruto but with your pure heart I don't believe you have to worry about the negative side effects of such power Chikara says with a kind smile.
Naruto smiles brightly and without thinking rushes toward Chikara and hugs him.
Chikara surprised about this just smiles softly and hugs his young partner back.
Chikara then goes into his serious mode and says now Naruto while I'm not a fighter and thus can't help you in training I can however help you understand the nature of my power.
Naruto immediately sits down with his legs crossed over the other and listens to what Chikara has to tell him.
Now as I'm sure you already know is im a being with immense power getting Naruto to nod my creator seemed to think I had the power to dissolve the boundaries between Shinigami and Hollow, allowing one race to attain the powers of the other. That is not really true Chikara says confusing Naruto.
Chikara seeing Naruto's confused state responds my true power lies in my ability to sense the hearts of those around me and materialize their deepest desire.
Naruto simply raises his hand and asks what are shinigami and hollows?
Chikara just smiles and responds Shinigami or soul reapers as they are called are guides for souls that have died to the soul society.
Naruto says so it is some kind of afterlife?
Chikara just responds with a nod yes that is correct however hollows are a different matter you see while soul reapers help lost souls hollows do the opposite they are born from
Human souls who, for various reasons, do not cross over to Soul Society after their death and stay in the Human World for too long. They are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers that devour the souls of both living and deceased Humans. Naruto responds with a frown what a horrible way to die. Horrible indeed but there is nothing that can be done for them for once one becomes a hollow they can never go back to being a human.
Naruto with a determined look responds THEN I WILL HELP THOSE LOST SOULS FROM BECOMING HOLLOWS!.
Chikara just looks at Naruto and says you are one impressive partner Naruto I look forward to you fulfilling your promise but what will you do if you fail? Questions Chikara to which Naruto responds with a firm tone.
Then I will train even harder so I will not fail next time.
Chikara just looks at Naruto with another kind smile and replies then go forth Naruto Uzumaki and let no one stop you.
Naruto with a smile so wide it threatened to split his face in two responds
"I WILL NO FAIL YOU CHIKARA!-SENSEI".
Chikara laughs some more then says I know you won't but I must ask you not to use my power until you graduate we wouldn't want anyone finding out the power you have so soon now will we?
Naruto shakes his head I promise I will not use your power until I graduate says Naruto to which Chikara nods.
It looks like you are waking up now Naruto remember I will always be here if you wish to see me.
Naruto nods as he begins to fade away once gone Chikara feels someone walk beside him.
Well well so that is the cutie that is to one day become my partner the voice says.
Chikara chuckles indeed he is Gale (picture Sode no Shirayuki but with a gentle wind surrounding her) his name is Naruto Uzumaki and he is very interesting just like your last partner.
The now-named Gale just looks down and remember's the horrible way her former partner died just cause she and her sister Sode no Shirayuki were twins they were of a different element damn it(I found it rather stupid that just cause some Zanpakuto were the same type with the same abilities there users were forced to fight to the death but I didn't make the show sadly) she was a wind Zanpakuto while her sister was an ice type Zanpakuto.
Chikara seeing her about to cry wraps his arm around her shoulder in a comforting manner and says don't worry Gale Naruto won't die I saw the conviction in his eyes he will not give up so easily.
Gale hearing this couldn't help the laugh that escaped her lips despite the back of her hand hiding her mouth just nodded and waited for the future when she could finally meet her partner.
(outside world)
Waking up Naruto notices three things 1) he is surrounded by his animal friends 2) his head is resting on a smooth pair of thigh's and 3) fingers combing his hair by the very person whose lap was being used to rest his head looking up he comes face to face with Anko with a worried but happy smile on her face worried cause bullet came rushing into the village in search of her to inform her of what happened to Naruto and happy that Naruto was now awake.
How are you feeling Naruto-kun when Bullet came to get me I thought something bad had happened to you says Anko.
To which Naruto just smiles and responds I'm fine Anko-chan.
Anko looks down sensing something strange from Naruto's chest so she asks Naruto to take off his jacket and lifts his shirt so she can look.
Naruto teasingly says why Anko-chan at least let me buy you dinner first before we get down and dirty.
Anko hearing this playfully smacks Naruto on the head and says your still underage Naruto wait till you graduate and your Anko-chan will be more than happy to make you a man.
Then Anko leaned forward and whispered into his ear with a husky voice would u like that Na ru to-kun? and softly nibbled on his ear.
A now red-faced Naruto just blushes and nods not trusting his voice so doing what Anko asks shows her his chest Anko finds a strange gem in the middle of his chest knowing it wasn't there before brushes her fingers over it where she feels incredible power radiating within not sensing anything evil decides to let it be.
Naruto looks at Anko with a straight face says Anko-chan will you train me?
Anko seeing his face just smiles and replies sure Naruto-kun but why don't you still have a few years left at the academy?
To which Naruto replies you know how the teachers treat me they would rather see me fail then pass me well everyone except Iruka-sensei.
Anko just frowns at this and says sure Naruto-kun but I don't want to hear you complain to which Naruto salutes saying "YES MA'AM."
Anko just laughs seeing Naruto's enthusiasm. So with that Anko just leads Naruto further into the forest where Naruto's animal friends follow having just woken up with Yoko jumping on Naruto's shoulder.
So for the remainder of the day Naruto and Anko just trained away and had a good time.
