Hey guys, sorry I took so long! But here i am with a new chapter of Naruto: Shinigami of Kyubiakuma! So let's not waste any time and get to the story! I do not own Naruto or Bleach. Review baby!
As the night turned into day, Naruto found himself exhausted from an entire night of intense training. After taking Kisuke's advice on putting the Bankai Training on hold, Naruto was training alongside the former Captain, learning advanced techniques beyond his own years. After training non stop for almost twenty four hours, the blond Shinigami was hungry, tired, and in need of a shower. As Naruto leaned against his zanpakutō, beads of sweat dripped down his forehead as Kisuke stood before him, wielding his own zanpakutō.
"Naruto, take a break already," Kisuke urged as Naruto shook his head no, looking up at Kisuke with pure determination. After being consumed by his own zanpakutō, Naruto was beyond angry at his own self for being so weak. He cursed himself for not picking up on it before, realizing why the court guard treated him as if he was a child wielding a knife. It was because in a way, he was one. He had no control over the zanpakutō that emerged from his own body, his techniques were sloppy. It angered him, but in a way it also made him wake up. In order to gain the respect of the Soul Society, he needed to hone and perfect his skills. Only then would he be able to hold his head up high and be known as the strongest Shinigami. Naruto grinned as he wiped the perspiration off his forehead and pulled his zanpakutō from out the ground.
"Sensei, let's continue training!" Naruto shouted enthusiastically as Kisuke sighed.
"You're going to kill yourself kid, but whatever you want," Kisuke replied as he smiled to himself. "He might be a bit unorthodox and a but hard headed, but he has done more work in these past 24 hours than I've seen some Shinigami do in their entire life."
"Are you ready Sensei?" Naruto asked as Kisuke looked up, breaking his thought.
"Uh yeah, let's do it Naruto," Kisuke answered as he lifted up his zanpakutō.
As Ichigo and Rukia entered the classroom, they looked at Naruto's desk and spotted the blond hero's head on his desk, snoring softly.
"Idiot..." Rukia muttered as she slammed her books against his desk, Naruto jumping up in fear.
"Where is the fire?" Naruto asked as Ichigo chuckled softly. ]
"Why are you always sleeping these days?" Rukia asked as Naruto shrugged, stretching his arms out. "You know that we need to train Ichigo and you have been M.I.A for the past few days."
"I'll help you out after school OK?" Naruto replied as he laid his head back on his desk. "Now let me get five minutes before class starts." As Naruto said this, Rukia's Soul Pager went off, meaning a Hollow was near the vicinity.
"Naruto, we have a Hollow nearby," Rukia reported as she glanced at her pager. "We need to get moving now."
"Dammit, can I ever get any sleep?" Naruto asked as he pulled himself out his chair. "Dam monsters just won't stay the hell off..."
As Naruto (Shinigami), Rukia, and Ichigo (Shinigami) arrived in the area where the Hollow was supposedly in, they were surprised that the Hollow had suddenly disappeared.
"Wait, now the pager says that the Hollow was destroyed," Rukia announced as she looked at the pager in shock. "But if we didn't do it, who did?"
"It was probably that jerk Uryu," Naruto muttered as he turned around and started to head back toward the school. "Now excuse me, but I'm going to go sleep on the football field bleachers until my next class."
"I killed the Hollow," a voice announced from somewhere as Naruto turned back, his eyes widening as a massive spiritual pressure was felt within the area.
"What is that?" Ichigo asked as he looked around in surprise.
"The spiritual pressure of another Shinigami," Rukia replied as she looked around with widened eyes as well. "Sensing by the amount of spiritual pressure, this is no ordinary Shinigami either. This is definetly the spiritual pressure of a seated officer, most likely a lieutenant."
"Wait, what?" Ichigo asked as the Shinigami suddenly appeared before Ichigo, chuckling softly.
"Well, it seems you have disobeyed the rules Kuchiki Rukia," the Shinigami said as he looked at her with his pale white eyes.
"Hyuga Neji!" Naruto exclaimed, Rukia and Ichigo looking back as Naruto advanced forward. "So, Soi Fon sent you to spy on me in the world of the living huh?"
"That is Captain Soi Fon to you Uzumaki Naruto!" Neji spat as Naruto sneered.
"As if I'd give that stalker any respect!" Naruto shouted back. "I swear that girl is so annoying! Always sending people to watch me and stuff. She's a Captain, so why is she wasting time sending her lieutenant to the world of the living just to spy on me?"
"I'm not here to observe you Uzumaki Naruto," Neji replied as he unsheathed his zanpakutō from his sheathe. "I'm here to permanently end your Shinigami career."
"I don't care what family you're from, I'll crush you here and now!" Naruto shouted as he unsheathed his sword as well. "The Hyuga family might be known, but I won't give in so easily!"
"Kuchiki Rukia, as another member of a noble family, I will offer you a way to redeem yourself," Neji said as he turned to Rukia. "Aid me in defeating Uzumaki Naruto and I promise you that the entire Hyuga family will aid you in your sins. You will not have to pay for what has occurred here. It will be considered Uzumaki Naruto's fault." Rukia bit her bottom lip, not knowing what to do. Usually, a member of a noble family did not deny the request of another noble family, but this meant betraying her best friend. Ichigo looked at Rukia in shock, surprised she was even considering this.
"I can't do that Hyuga Neji," Rukia finally answered, Neji shaking his head in disappointment.
"I was only trying to help you redeem your name Kuchiki Rukia," Neji replied as he turned back to Naruto. "But no matter, I'll easily finish you off myself." Without any more words, Neji took off after Naruto, Naruto going into a defensive stance. Neji swiped at Naruto with his sword quickly, Naruto jumping back to avoid the attack. Neji watched as Naruto's feet touched the pavement, Neji taking off and attacking Naruto with lightning fast attacks, Naruto keeping on his feet and dodging the slashes. Naruto then flash stepped to the side of Neji and brought his sword down on Neji's forehead, Neji stopping the attack by using his own sword to stop the attack. Naruto pushed against Neji's sword with full power, Neji not giving an inch on defense. Neji's sword glowed a bright green as it infused itself with spiritual energy, Naruto glancing at this in surprise. Neji then began to push Naruto back with own sword, Naruto getting knocked into a building after Neji pushed him back. Naruto groaned as he pulled himself from the rubble, cracking his knuckles as he picked up his zanpakutō. Neji brushed off himself as he watched Naruto come running at him. He smiled smugly, jumping as Naruto swiped at him and bounced his feet off the building behind him, making him go behind Naruto. Naruto looked up and watched in surprise as Neji then brought his sword down and cut Naruto's shoulder blade, a long gash appearing. Naruto cringed in pain, blood gushing out the wound as Naruto looked at Neji angrily. Naruto then went running wildly at Neji, Neji shaking his head as he simply rejected Naruto's attack and slashed him across the chest. Naruto gasped as he held his chest, the blood going down his kimono. Naruto put both hands on his Zanpakutō, growling softly as he looked at Neji with his eyes slowly turning red. Neji watched this in surprise, not expecting this to occur. Neji went into offensive as he went running at Naruto with amazing speed, taking basically one step and appearing in front of Naruto. Naruto looked up at Neji with his eyes red with the slits in the middle instead of pupils and grinned darkly. Using both hands, he brought his sword down on Neji, the sheer force of the swing sending Neji flying back, his body getting enveloped in a red light as he was sent flying into a building, the building almost collapsing from the impact. Rukia and Ichigo gasped as Naruto stood there holding his zanpakutō with one hand, grinning broadly.
"Naruto, how did you do that?' Rukia asked as she looked at Naruto's eyes, the memory of Naruto back when they were younger in her mind. Naruto had the same look on his face when he had rescued her, pulling her away from the zanpakutō of the evil Shinigami.
"Why is his eyes red like that?" Ichigo asked as Rukia didn't answer, almost afraid of the answer. Neji emerged from the rubble now, brushing off his clothes as he looked at Naruto with his eyes somehow changed. Their were what looked like small veins bulging out at the sides of his eyes, Naruto looking back at Neji with curiosity.
"Byakugan, the secret technique of the Hyuga clan," Neji explained as Naruto growled. "I can see all of your points of spiritual pressure, meaning I can completely isolate you from your own power. Even your zanpakutō will be powerless..."
"What you waiting for then?" Naruto asked roughly, looking at Neji with a grin, "Rev up those eyes and let's finish this!"
"Show me the points of power Namisama!" Neji shouted as his Zanpakutō transformed, going a bit longer, looking like a regular katana.
"OK, unleash your inner demons Kyubiakuma!" Naruto screamed as his zanpakuto transformed as well. "So, are we ready to start this?"
"I'll finish you off Uzumaki Naruto!" Neji shouted as his sword glowed a light green.
"My Soul Pager is going off again," Rukia muttered as she looked at Naruto, then at Ichigo. "But I can't leave here and I can't let Ichigo leave by himself either. I hope we can settle this quickly..."
Meanwhile, Orihime was walking home with Tatsuki, both of the girls poking fun at each other.
"So, have you heard from Naruto lately?" Tatsuki teased as Orihime blushed softly.
"No! It's not like I'm waiting for him to or something..." Orihime said as she covered her mouth in embarrassment.
"A-ha! I knew you were Orihime!" Tatsuki shouted as Orihime blushed harder. "Why don't you just talk to him?"
"I..." Orihime started as she was interrupted by a large Hollow, who slapped Tatsuki away in an instant.
"Mmm, you have spiritual pressure!" the Hollow shouted as it licked it's lips. Orihime looked up, shocked that she could see this beast, which she didn't know she wasn't supposed to be able to see.
"Orihime, run!" Tatsuki choked out from the ground as the Hollow picked her up and tossed her into a car.
"Shut up human, this is between me and the spiritual power girl here," the Hollow stated as Orihime gasped in shock. "Now, give yourself up or I will kill this measly human over there."
"No!" Orihime cried as the Hollow went lunging at Tatsuki.
