Sasuke Chronicles: Final Chapter Part 1 or 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Naruto or Bleach, just the story!

"Captain, will we be departing for the World of the Living soon?" Sasuke asked Kuchiki Byakuya, the head of the Kuchiki clan and the captain of the 6th Division.

"We'll be leaving tonight," Byakuya answered as he unsheathed his zanpakuto from his sash. "Now, prepare yourself..." Sasuke nodded in response, unable to stop a small, unnoticeable grin from crawling onto his face. This was well anticipated by the Uchiha, the day he apprehended Uzumaki Naruto. Uzumaki Naruto had proven to be an annoyance on several occasions, the main reason Sasuke recieved a low performance grade on his final test of the Shinigami Academy...

"Welcome to the final test of the Shinigami Academy!" Hatake Kakashi shouted as the auditorium exploded in cheering. "This final test will be for 40 percent of your final grade, so don't screw up! It will consist of three sections: One, the written exam. Two, the performance test. And three, the tourney test. The first test shall test your abilities to examine situations, then make decisions that shall influence your team positively. The second test will be the testing of your Shinigami abilities, such as kido, performace of konso, zanjutsu, and proper use of spiritual pressure. Next, the tourney is a tournament between all of the students of the academy, where you put all of your training in action, while you are observed by the 1st Division Captain himself. Also, several other Captains and Lieutenant shall be attending for scouting purposes, so make sure to give it everything you got!" As he listened, Sasuke grinned, a tournament sounding like the perfect opportunity to show his true grit among the Shinigami class. His competition wasn't too fierce, just a few choice names such as Hyuga Neji, Gaara, and of course the number one maverick Shinigami of the graduating class Uzumaki Naruto. He had managed to crawl his way to the top with a few choice encounters, such as with Gaara, who was a strange individual with strange abilities. He converted his spiritual pressure into a type of sand that he used in several deviant ways, such as sending it through his opponent's mouth and encasing the opponent's lungs in sand. This had occurred earlier this year, but Gaara was confronted by Uzumaki Naruto, which caused a big fight. First it seemed impossible, but with Naruto's training with Yoruichi, it was decided rather quickly. As Sasuke thought of this, he gripped onto the arms of his chair angrily, hoping to prove that he was superior to this clown. As Kakashi wrapped up the presentation, the entire auditorium cleared out, besides Sasuke, who was deep in thought.

"Hey Sasuke, I'm gonna see ya at the finals right?" Naruto asked as he appeared at the side of the young Uchiha.

"I should be asking you that Naruto," Sasuke replied with a superior grin as Naruto returned the grin.

"Well, I didn't want Neji or Gaara to get to you before I did!" Naruto exclaimed with a grin as Sasuke snickered in response.

"As if I could lose to those two fools," Sasuke boosted as Naruto gave him a thumbs up.

"Alright, I expect to see you at the finals!" Naruto shouted excitedly as Sasuke smiled.

"Don't worry; I want to fight you the most," Sasuke responded as Naruto's grin increased in size. "See you then..."

The Tournament

"So, we've had some good matches so far!" Kakashi shouted as the entire graduating class cheered in response. "Let's give a round of applause for our guests, Captain Yamamoto, Captain Shihion, Captain Unohana, Captain Ukitake, Lieutanant Uchiha and Lieutenant Aizen!" Everyone cheered once more before Kakashi continued.

"OK, next match will be between Hyuga Neji and Uchiha Sasuke, both of royal clans!"

"So I get Uchiha..." Neji murmured as he stepped from the bench at the side of the ring. "Good, I want to see the potential of the Sharingan against my Byakugan."

"Hyuga huh?" Sasuke murmured as his Sharingan activated. "Let's see what he's really made of..."

"OK, the rules are simple!" Kakashi stated. "Ring out is an automatic disqualification, as well as a KO. For your weapons, you will use the sword that was given to you, it is your decision if you would like to use hand to hand combat, but the other competitor is not permitted to not use their sword if you decide this. Kido is allowed, as well as abilities such as the Sharingan or Byakugan. Fight as hard as you can, do not give in. Show your head Captain what you're made of! Begin!" Neji took off at Sasuke, who did the same in response.

"Wow, Sasuke's still pretty good..." Naruto murmured nervously as Yoruichi gave him a supportive pat on the back.

"So are you Naruto, I'd even go as far as to say you're better!" Yoruichi exclaimed with a wink, Naruto smiling in response.

"That's right, you're better than that loser so you better not mess up Naruto," Soi Fon chimed in, Naruto's face going slightly red. "Not that I actually care or anything of course..."

Neji and Sasuke clashed violently at the side of the arena, Sasuke seemingly going for the ring out win.

"Wow, Sasuke is amazing!" Haruno Sakura whispered to Hinamori Momo, who nodded in response. "Do you think he would ever date me Momo-chan?"

"Oh Sakura..." Momo sighed with a smile, both of the girls laughing together.

As Sasuke continued to dodge Neji's attacks, it seemed Neji was eventually going to force Sasuke out of bounds with his relentless attacks, but Sasuke had other plans.

"Hado Number 07: Kaminari!" Sasuke screamed as a bolt of lightning was shot from his fingertip at Neji, who wasn't expecting such a technique. Sasuke then used his speed to appear at the back of Neji, tripping Neji to the ground with a quick sweep kick. He then placed his foot on Neji's chest, holding his sword at Neji's throat.

"TKO!" Kakashi shouted as Neji growled angrily. "Uchiha Sasuke is the winner, congradulations! Sasuke is going to advance to the finals, against Uzumaki Naruto!"

"Well, this is it!" Naruto shouted as he stood up, Sasuke looking at him from the arena with his Sharingan activated. A small grin appeared on his face, Naruto returning the grin as well.

"Hey Uchiha, aren't we supposed to spar today?" Renji interrupted Sasuke's reminising. "Hello? You got a bulb loose in that big egomaniacal head?"

"Watch your tone when you speak to your superior officer Abarai," Sasuke responded as Renji snickered.

"You are one hell of a bastard..." Renji murmured as he unsheathed his zanpakuto from his sash. "Come on, let's do this now!"

"Unfortunately, I don't have time for playing with children right now," Sasuke replied as he turned away. "I must prepare for my mission with Captain Kuchiki to the World of the Living."

"You're going to pick up Naruto and Rukia from the World of the Living tomorrow?" Renji asked, turning away slightly. "Oh..."

"Does this upset you Abarai?" Sasuke asked with a grin. "Oh that's right you, Uzumaki, and Rukia all grew up in the same trash can before Rukia became royalty. Heh, what a change of direction huh? A true rags to riches story!"

"Sasuke, it is time..." Byakuya stated as Sasuke turned to him, looking back at Renji with a grin.

"Hope you'll be there for your final reunion with your pals," Sasuke muttered as Renji angrily looked back. "It'll be a real killer time... heh..."
