New chapter of Naruto: SOTK! I do not own Naruto or Bleach!
"Mr. Kurosaki, welcome to my humble avail!" Kisuke greeted loudly as Naruto, Ichigo, and Rukia entered the Urahara Shop after an exhausting afternoon of killing Hollows.
"Why is this idiot so loud all the time?" Rukia asked crankily, holding her throbbing temples with her left hand. "What did you call us here for Urahara?"
"Probably something stupid and pointless," Naruto inquired as Kisuke chuckled.
"Not at all Mr. Uzumaki, I actually think all of this is quite serious," Kisuke answered mysteriously as this statement piqued Naruto's interest. "Kurosaki Ichigo, I want you to train alongside me in order to prepare you for the incoming Soul Reaper invasion."
"Invasion?" Rukia asked curiously as she placed her hands on her hips. "Why haven't I heard about some upcoming invasion? Naruto and I would be the first to…"
"Not if you are both set for execution…" Kisuke interrupted coldly as Rukia's eyes widened in shock. "Uzumaki Naruto and Kuchiki Rukia are both set for immediate execution after being returned to the world of the living. That is what is being said around the Soul Society as we speak. Kuchiki Byakuya and Uchiha Sasuke will be the ones coming to the world of the living to escort you to your deaths." Naruto and Rukia both gasped at the same time at the two names Kisuke spoke.
"Brother?" Rukia choked out with fear as she looked up at Naruto, who was looking down at the ground with widened eyes.
"Sasuke is coming here to arrest me?" Naruto asked as his fist balled up slowly, his fists shaking slightly.
"Why would they want to execute Rukia and Naruto?" Ichigo asked frantically as Kisuke looked down.
"Because of you Kurosaki Ichigo," Kisuke answered quietly as Ichigo's eyes widened in surprise. "You were given Shinigami abilities by Kuchiki Rukia, which is against Shinigami etiquette. They are blaming this on Uzumaki Naruto, who is a third seat holder and should have been able to eliminate a single Hollow."
"This is my entire fault?" Ichigo asked as he looked down at the ground, an angry expression appearing on his face.
"We don't have time for tears!" Kisuke shouted sharply as Ichigo, Rukia, and Naruto looked up at Kisuke in unison. "We must fight, not sit here with tears in our eyes for what occurred. We must be ready to fight if we want to avoid this." Rukia looked away, knowing what she had to do. Naruto looked at Kisuke with a grin, flashing his sensei a quick thumbs up as Ichigo nodded with approval.
"Alright Ichigo, you will be training with me," Kisuke announced as the door to the underground training facility opened up instantly. "Naruto, you will be training with someone else other then me. They will be here to pick you up in about a half and hour…" Naruto gave Kisuke a curious look as Kisuke guided Rukia and Ichigo into the underground training facility.
"Alright, I'll wait here I guess…" Naruto murmured as Kisuke watched Rukia and Ichigo climb down the ladder.
"Naruto, one more thing…" Kisuke muttered as he turned and looked at Naruto. "No Bankai under any circumstances, understand?" Naruto looked at Kisuke questionably as Kisuke turned away and climbed down the ladder.
"Are you Uzumaki Naruto?" a voice asked behind Naruto as Naruto turned around to see a slim teenager, wearing his hair in some strange type of bowl cut. He wore a long sleeved dress shirt, a red tie completing the ensemble. He had his hands jammed into his pockets, a strange grin pasted on his face.
"Yeah, who the hell are you?" Naruto asked as the mystery kid grinned wider, taking his right hand out of his pocket and holding it before Naruto.
"I'm Hirako Shinji," the kid introduced himself as Naruto's eyes widened in surprise.
"Wait, former Squad 5 captain Hirako Shinji?" Naruto asked as Shinji's grin increased in size again.
"Well, maybe once I was," Shinji answered as he pulled out his left hand, which was wielding a zanpakuto. "Would you like to confirm it?"
"Confirm that you are Shinji Hirako, former captain of Squad 5?" Naruto asked as he turned away, opening the closed door to the training facility. He went down into the facility quietly, not saying a word as he climbed down the ladder.
"Naruto, what are you…? Rukia shouted from in the facility as Naruto came flying from out the facility, in Shinigami form. He unsheathed his zanpakuto, standing before Shinji with a confident grin.
"Yeah, let's do this Captain Hirako!" Naruto exclaimed excitedly as Shinji chuckled, his eyes set on Naruto's zanpakuto.
"So that is the zanpakuto containing the Kyuubi," Shinji muttered to himself as he pointed his zanpakuto at Naruto's face. "Let's not waste anymore time, shall we?" Naruto flash stepped to the side of Shinji, Shinji looking back at him from the side as Naruto used his zanpakuto to swing at Shinji's shoulder blade. Shinji flash stepped as well to avoid the blow, appearing behind Naruto as Naruto looked at the area Shinji was standing with widened eyes.
"Someone who was trained by Shihōin Yoruichi should be faster then that," Shinji remarked as he cut Naruto's back with his zanpakuto, blood dripping down Naruto's hakasho as Naruto winced in pain. Shinji then pushed Naruto forward with his right foot, using both hands to grip his zanpakuto. He then tried to stab Naruto in the back with his sword, Naruto, Naruto looking back in time to witness the attempt, giving him the means to flash step to avoid it. Naruto appeared at the side of Shinji, taking the heel of his zanpakuto and slamming it into Shinji's chin. Shinji groaned as his teeth clicked together painfully from the attack, making him back up slightly. Naruto jumped on the nearby wall, using the wall to propel himself at Shinji with his zanpakuto positioned in his right hand with the zanpakuto in it. Shinji prepared himself, shaking the pain away as he went into a defensive position, holding his zanpakuto before him as Naruto went at Shinji with extreme force, Shinji having no choice but to fall back after the collision of both zanapakutos. Shinji looked up as Naruto's zanpakuto glowed brightly.
"Take this!" Naruto shouted as he sent a wave of pure spiritual energy at Shinji, Shinji seemingly getting swept away by the attack. The whole Urahara Shop was covered in red light as Naruto unleashed the attack, causing most of the items in the store to go all around.
"Not bad…" a voice muttered as Shinji emerged from the rubble, dirt and debris covering his once clean outfit. He wiped the dirt from underneath his eyes as Naruto pointed his zanpakuto at Shinji's chest with a broad grin on his face.
"So Captain, is this all you have for me?" Naruto asked mockingly as Shinji looked up at Naruto with a smile.
"Well, I have one more trick left…" Shinji answered as he pulled down a Hollow mask seemingly from underneath his hair, Naruto stepping back in fear as he witnessed this. Shinji went to the side of Naruto at mach speed as Naruto could only manage to gasp as he was stabbed in his sword arm by Shinji, Shinji then appearing before Naruto with his zanpakuto pointing at his chin. Naruto looked down at his arm, which was bleeding as he tried to lift up his sword.
"D-Dammit…" Naruto stammered as he failed to lift up his arm.
"You won't be able to use your arm right now," Shinji explained as he grinned broadly. "I cut one of the vital veins in your arms, you won't be able to do anything until you return back to your gigai and recharge your Shinigami form."
"So, you aren't just a pushover," Naruto murmured with sheepish grin as he held his arm. "Well neither am I, so don't think a bum arm is gonna stop me!" Naruto sheathed his sword with his good arm, using his flash step technique to surround Shinji. Shinji simply watched Naruto's movements, Naruto preparing to strike Shinji with his good arm. Shinji watched as Naruto tried, grabbing his arm before he could swing, pulling him over his shoulder then slamming him into the ground. Naruto rolled away as Shinji tried to bring his zanpakuto down onto his back, his zanpakuto getting caught in the floorboards. Naruto used this opportunity to give Shinji a fierce uppercut to the jaw, Shinji backing away from his zanpakuto as blood came leaking from his mouth. Naruto kicked his zanpakuto away as Shinji and Naruto stared each other down, neither able to use their zanpakuto at the time. Shinji tried to flash step to his zanpakuto, Naruto already expecting this. He flash stepped before Shinji did, so when Shinji flash stepped, him and Naruto met face to face. Naruto leaned back, dodging a punch from Shinji as Naruto pushed Shinji's zanpakuto away with his foot. Naruto then ducked from a kick from Shinji, following up by flash stepping into the air before Shinji's face and giving him a quick but painful kick to the chin. The kick sent Shinji flying out the Urahara Shop, Shinji and Naruto being bathed in the afternoon sun as Shinji pulled himself up from the ground.
"I think I've played around enough…" Shinji muttered as he flashed stepped away, appearing not even a second later wielding his zanpakuto. "This fight is almost pointless considering the fact you are not even wielding your zanpakuto…"
"Neither was you "Captain Hirako" if that is who you are," Naruto replied as Shinji looked at him with surprise. "Maybe you aren't Captain Hirako, maybe I was mistaken…" Shinji's eyes twitched in annoyance as he prepared to attack Naruto.
"OK, that's enough," someone muttered as Shinji looked back, sighing deeply as 7 other individuals flash stepped into the area, each wielding zanapakutos.
"Who… Who the hell are you people?" Naruto asked as one of the men stared up and down at Naruto.
"This is who we are considering to join our team?" a man asked with snow white hair.
"Aww, does Kensei feel threatened by the big scary blond boy?" a girl with bright green haired teased as the white haired man called Kensei's eyes twitched in annoyance.
"Shut the hell up Mashiro!" Kensei bellowed as Mashiro stuck her tongue out at him, Kensei cracking his knuckles menacingly as he went chasing after the girl. Naruto watched in confusion as Shinji appeared behind him, patting Naruto on the back.
"Who are these weirdoes?" Naruto asked Shinji as everyone's attention went from watching Kensei chase Mashiro to what Naruto just said. Naruto sweat dropped nervously as Mashiro stepped up to him, looking Naruto up and down.
"Kensei-chan does have a point, he doesn't look like much," Mashiro commented as she looked Naruto directly in the face, not even an inch away from him.
"Hmm, weirdoes huh?" Kensei asked as he stepped up to Naruto, unsheathing his zanpakuto. "Is that what you think punk? Well then, I'm Muguruma Kensei, I'll be your opponent."
"Hey, he just fought me Kensei," Shinji reminded Kensei as Kensei shrugged, getting into an attack position. "Do we really want to tire him out before he trains?"
"Who cares? He can train after he loses to me!" Kensei shouted as Shinji groaned. "Besides, he can't be too tired after just facing you…"
"He has a useless arm right now," a girl with glasses analyzed as Naruto looked back at the Urahara Shop, which was where his zanpakuto was laying.
"I can see that Lisa, but there is no reason he has for calling us weirdoes!" Kensei shouted as Naruto wasted no time, running up at Kensei without his zanpakuto. Mashiro intervened, kicking Naruto across the sidewalk as Kensei continued to argue with the one called Lisa.
"Hey, don't you see Kensei is talking?" Mashiro asked as Naruto groaned, rubbing his side he was kicked in as he pulled himself up from the ground. "Besides, fighting without a zanpakuto is my thing. If you want to fight without a zanpakuto, fight me K?"
"Fine, no need to worry about my broken arm," Naruto murmured as Mashiro jumped up and down happily.
"OK, let's go then… what's your name?" Mashiro asked with a curious look.
"Uzumaki Naruto, greatest Shinigami who has ever lived!" Naruto exclaimed as Mashiro jumped up and down happily.
"Whatever, let's go!" Mashiro shouted as she went charging at Naruto with uncanny speed. Naruto readied himself, dodging Mashiro's first overpowered kick, followed by rejecting her other kick with his left arm. Naruto felt an intense pain shoot up his arm as he blocked it, leaving his defense wide open. Mashiro only laughed as she kicked Naruto in the chest twice, followed by a hard kick to the face, sending the blond Shinigami tumbling down the street.
"Aww, you're no fun Naru-sama," Mashiro complained as the Shinigami laid on his back with a dazed expression on his face. "Can't you do any better than that?"
"Obviously this kid is no challenge," Kensei inquired as he stood over Naruto, shaking his head in disappointment. "If he can be defeated by Mashiro, he's just a waste of our time."
"Hey, I resent that!" Mashiro shouted as Kensei completely ignored her.
"What truck hit me?" Naruto murmured dizzily as he came back into consciousness, almost uncertain of what occurred only seconds ago.
"Sorry kid, but try outs are over," a young girl stated as she walked before Naruto and looked down at him. "And unfortunately, you failed." Naruto could only look up at the girl with his mouth wide open in shock as all of these people turned away, walking down the intersection, not even looking back at Naruto.
"Hey, where are you going?" Naruto asked angrily as he rushed to catch up to them. "Are you guys serious? Aren't you supposed to be training me?"
"For your own sake kid, just get out of here," Kensei muttered, not even turning around. "Even if you were able to master your Hollow form, you would still be completely useless. Just continue to be a Shinigami until they become aware of what happen to you. I won't say what will happen after that, but I will say it won't be pretty."
"You don't understand…" Naruto muttered angrily as he scooped up dirt between his fingers, angrily squeezing it as he sat on his knees. "I'm already set for execution, along with my best friend! I can't fail, if I do, Rukia will die and it will be all my fault…"
"What do you think Hiyori?" Kensei asked as he looked at the young blond haired girl, who snickered in response.
"I say that isn't our problem," Hiyori answered, continuing to walk away, Naruto looking up at her with his eyes glowing red.
"You bastards are obviously just as monster as the Hollow masks you wear!" Naruto roared as he turned away, limping back to the Urahara Shop. "You sit here and think about how rough you had it, but obviously won't use your power to save those who need your help! Fine, I don't need your help! I will show everyone I'm strong! I'm sick of being underestimated by people like you!" Naruto fell as he reached the Urahara Shop, almost at his limit. He reached out for Kyubiakuma, which was lying right before him. He grasped the heel, feeling great comfort as he did. As he grabbed the entire sword, his body felt full of energy, one word coming to mind as he touched the zanpakuto.
"BANKAI!" Naruto roared as he held his sword up, the red light radiating from his zanpakuto covering his entire body.
"Wait, what?" Shinji wondered as he looked back, seeing nothing but red light. As he squinted through it to look for Naruto, a strange being came flying through the light, piercing Shinji's chest with an extremely powerful cero. Shinji could only gasp as he was struck down by the unknown cero, all of the others preparing themselves for an attack.
"So, you guys want a piece of me?" a voice asked shrilly as Naruto came through the smoke, wearing a Hollow mask that looked like the skull of a fox.
"So, this is the Hollow form is it?" Kensei asked Shinji as Shinji nodded, preparing himself for Naruto's attack. "OK, no holding back everyone! Love, Lisa, Mashiro, Shinji, Hiyori, Rōjūrō, and Hachi! Let's go, time to work!" All of the people went into an attack position as Naruto went running at them.
OK, battle is set to begin! Get ready for the Visored vs. Naruto! A battle of epic proportions… set to begin next chapter! Sorry for the tremendous wait, but this story ain't done yet!
