"Naruto, welcome to our little humble abode," Shinji greeted as Naruto walked inside what the Visored considered their base. "It isn't much, but this is where we stay most of the time."
"This place is huge!" Naruto exclaimed as he glanced around the area in awe. "So this is where I'll be training at?"
"Yes, if you think you're ready kid," Kensei answered as he cracked his knuckles in a menacing manner. "I'm still aching to get a crack at you ever since that little Hollow incident. This time, I plan to go all out!"
"Kensei calm down," Shinji scowled him as he placed his right hand on Naruto's shoulder reassuringly. "Don't worry, you're going to do fine. Well, I hope at least."
"Wait... do fine in what?" Naruto asked as Hiyori cleared her throat loudly.
"Nobody told the idiot what training consisted of?" Hiyori asked as a tick appeared on Naruto's forehead.
"Just who the hell are you calling idiot shorty?" Naruto shouted at Hiyori, who glared back at Naruto with a tick on her forehead.
"Who the hell you calling shorty?" Hiyori shot back as the two glared at each other angrily.
"Calm down, we need to get ready," Lisa stated as she pulled Hiyori back. "You'll get to vent soon enough alright? Just try not to kill the kid..."
"Nah, I don't think that's possible!" Mashiro said quite loudly next to Naruto, who glanced back at her with an annoyed expression. "Naru-san might be puny and weak, but his Hollow form is really powerful! He'll last a long time, we might even have to kill him!"
"Wait, kill me?" Naruto asked as he took a step back, rethinking this whole situation. "What's going on here? I thought I was here for training to control my Hollow? I didn't sign up for death!"
"Naruto, in order to control your Hollow form, you will face off against your inner demon," Shinji explained. "But this will not be a fight that you will participate in while in this world. Your fight will be in your zanpakuto's world, a world where both you and your Hollow self can exist at one time. But while you are in the midst of your own battle, we'll be in a battle with your Hollow self, which will take over your body since you will be occupied. You must not give in, for if you give in, we'll have no choice but to slay you."
"Wait, but can't I take back control of my body?" Naruto asked, Hiyori sneering as the question was asked.
"How could you take back control of a Hollowfied body?" Hiyori asked with a malicious grin. "This is a game of keeps kid. If you lose, you not only lose your body, you lose your entire being. You'll no longer exist, only the being that was created from the Hollowfication process. And he would have to be eliminated at all cost."
"Do you still want to go through with this Naruto?" Shinji asked as Naruto took a moment to contemplate the question. He looked up at the celing, a nostalgic look on his face. He saw him, Rukia, and Renji all at the ramen bar together, eating ramen happily before Toshiro busted Naruto for skipping out on his cleaning duty. He saw when Yoruichi treated him and Soi Fon to a new treat called ice cream, something so delicious just thinking of it made Naruto's mouth water. He remembered the look on Soi Fon's face when she took her first lick. Naruto then thought of Ichigo, when he looked up and saw the confidence and spirit that the boy had when he first donned a Shinigami uniform. He thought of even Sasuke, his eternal rival... All those people that were in his life... All those people he could lose if he lost... Naruto then remembered his mother Kushina's words to him, an image of him, his mother, and Minato all standing together appearing in his mind. Then Rukia, Soi Fon, Ichigo, Kisuke, Renji, Rangiku, Toshiro, Sasuke, Yoruichi, Orihime, Tatsuki, Uryu, and Chad all came into the image. All of them together... Naruto grinned broadly as he glanced up at Shinji, a gleam in his right eye.
"Let's do this," was the response that came from Naruto's lips, all of the Visored, even Hiyori, smiling as Shinji nodded.
"All right, I hope you're prepared," Shinji stated before he cracked Naruto in the back of the head, Naruto collapsing to the floor, all of the Visored standing around him in a small circle...
"So, you made it..."
Naruto's eyes opened slowly as he looked up, a beautiful grass covered area surrounding him. It was almost like a small, lush forest, everything around him so green.
"What's going on...?" Naruto wondered as he remembered what happened earlier. "Ah... so this must be in my zanpakuto's world. But this doesn't really seem that much like Kyubiakuma's style..." As Naruto stated this, the world around him died, all of the green grass turning a dirt brown color, all of the trees rotting away in the matter of seconds. The whole area erupted in flames instantly, the flames searing around where Naruto was located menacingly.
"I'm sorry, is this better for you?" a voice asked as Naruto scanned the dying area for who the voice belonged to.
"Who's there?" Naruto asked sharply as he stood up. "Show yourself, now!" As Naruto said this, Kyubiakuma appeared at his side, giving him a small smile.
"Welcome Naruto, this is the first time you've come here," Kyubiakuma greeted him as her smile transcended to a sinister one.
"Kyubiakuma... what's going on here?" Naruto asked assertively.
"Just a little redecorating since you didn't like the old place," Kyubiakuma answered innocently, her arms wrapping around Naruto's chest seductively. Naruto glanced up at her as she nuzzled his neck with her cheek. "Did you miss me Naruto?"
"Stop playing with me Kyubiakuma, where is he?" Naruto asked angrily as Kyubiakuma flashed him an obviously fake confused look.
"I don't know who you're talking about Naruto, you'll have to be more specific," Kyubiakuma answered in a childish manner as her lips touched Naruto's neck, leaving a lipstick stain on his neck. "Naruto... don't you want to think about something other than that? How about me for instance?" Naruto closed his eyes as Kyubiakuma's hand stroked his chest, going down his shihakusho. She continued going, reaching farther down as Naruto elbowed her as hard as he could in her chest, Kyubiakuma gasping for air as she tumbled backwards, stumbling away from Naruto's radius.
"Now you've done it scum..." Kyubiakuma murmured angrily, but this time in a man's voice. "I was going to make your death an enjoyable one... but you just had to push it..." Kyubiakuma smiled broadly as he/she pulled off her face, revealing Dark Naruto.
"Well, that was disgusting," he muttered as he brushed his hair back, grinning as he looked at Naruto. "What? You didn't like my little show? I thought it was what you wanted, I know how good you are with the ladies Naruto..."
"Rot and die..." Naruto shot back angrily as he reached on his back for the hilt of his zanpakuto, but it was not there.
"Looking for this?" Dark Naruto asked as he flash stepped past Naruto, cutting him across the chest in the process. As Dark Naruto appeared behind Naruto, blood splattered across Naruto's chest as he glanced back with one eye open, one eye closed.
"I'm sorry... did I hurt you?" Dark Naruto teased as he placed his hand on Naruto's shoulder. "It's OK... I'll put you out your misery..." Dark Naruto threw Naruto across the burning field, right into a pile of searing flames.
"Now... allow me to show you one of Kyubiakuma's true attacks, not those paltry attacks you waste your time on!" Dark Naruto roared as he pulled his zanpakuto wielding hand back, his zanpakuto glowing a bloody red aura. "Tenmazan!" The ground began to shake as Dark Naruto unleashed his attack, three energy claws springing from his zanpakuto, each claw close together so it looked as if it was one giant claw approaching. They were bright red, just as the finish of Kyubiakuma itself. They were also quite large, Naruto glancing up from the ground as they homed in on him. Naruto dove out the way in time, the attack causing a crater to be created in the ground as it hit where Naruto was supposed to be. The crater increased in size as the attack did not fizzle off, staying strong. Finally it began to die off, smoke rising up from what seemed like a bottomless crater.
"Now apologize for that 'rot and die' comment, it was pretty rude," Dark Naruto stated as Naruto glared at him angrily. "No one can save you... you should have never came here Uzumaki Naruto. But you decided to be a fool, so now I shall give you a fool's death... then I'll go kill Rukia myself!"
Naruto's fist tightened up angrily as he heard that comment, unable to control his emotions at this point. He slammed his fist into the dirt angrily, wishing he had his zanpakuto. But what could he do if he had his zanpakuto? His Hollow form knew an attack even Naruto himself didn't know! Naruto began to feel slightly discouraged, Dark Naruto's laughter clouding his mind.
Meanwhile, in the World of the Living, the Visored were having trouble keeping Dark Naruto in check. Shinji had went at him first, but reached his limit after 20 minutes. Hiyori went next, reaching her limit around 15 minutes. Kensei was currently fighting him, and was not doing well. Dark Naruto was plowing through him with sheer force, not even using his zanpakuto.
"Watch out, Naruto himself is trained in shunpo, so his attacks are deadly!" Shinji reminded Kensei, who sneered in response. For a moment, Naruto's Hollow transformation increased drastically, Kensei's eyes widening as he was punched in the chest, his chest slightly caving in as he was sent flying by the strike.
"H-He's getting stronger," Kensei stammered as Lisa helped him to his feet, holding onto his chest in pain. "I-I think I'll take a break for a minute..."
"I'll go in," Mashiro volunteered as she ran at Dark Naruto. "Hey... does it seem like it's slowing down again...?"
"You're too weak, just give up like the coward you are!" Dark Naruto shouted gleefully as Naruto stood with his hair covering his eyes. "You're just a piece of garbage, your body is mine! You could never control might like me, just..." Dark Naruto was interrupted by Naruto, who punched him in the jaw as hard as he could, appearing in front of him with a viciously fast flash step. Dark Naruto glanced at Naruto with widened eyes as he was sent across the field from the sheer strength of the attack.
"Shut the hell up!" Naruto roared as he pointed at Dark Naruto. "I'll never give up! I don't care how much you know over me, I don't care if you are billion times stronger than me! I'll never give up until my body fades away! I swear this, on all of those I love and care about! I will never let you down! I promise you this... Rukia."
"What a touching speech..." Dark Naruto stated with a grin. "Let's put your will to the ultimate test then Uzumaki Naruto! This will be a true blood soaked battle! I will never let you have what is rightfully mine! BANKAI!" Naruto's eyes widened in surprise, as the ultimate battle was about to begin...
gorutovssageta to everyone!
Hey! I haven't done this in a while, but I've been so busy I haven't been able to think straight! But I'm trying harder now, so let's get to some Q&A and other stuff. I don't have your tags or names, so if I don't say who it was that asked, it's because my phone sucks (long story) plus I'm doing this from memory. Anyhow, I was asked if Rukia was going to have a Bankai, will she be able to kill Itachi, and the reviewer gave a fantastic view on what Rukia's Bankai could look like. Now, I will definetly say, yes. I love the idea, I will use that with your permission because it is a great thought. But will she beat Itachi? Probably not, Itachi's part in this story is quite important, so will he die? I can't say now, but will Rukia maybe have a part in beating him? Possibly... :) I was asked will Naruto achieve Bankai. Yes, Naruto will have a Bankai, plus another form that will differ from Bankai. Will it be some sort of Nine Tailed cloak mode... not really. I mean the idea is cool and all, but I happen to be fond of another ability Naruto has, so this form will be based loosely off of that. Also, due to everyone wanting more, I'm increasing the harem :) So it will consist of... not entirely sure yet, but it will feature maybe two or three more women. I'm adding one by myself, who will be one of Naruto's allies in upcoming chapters, not yet though. I could announce who it is, but it would spoil all the fun! Oh, and I should address the Sasuke thing while I'm at it. Sasuke is not an essential part of the story, he just has a big role. But it isn't like he is taking up the whole story. I just did the Sasuke Chronicles so everyone could see the story from another point of view. And if I'm spelling shunpo wrong (I thought I had it right) someone please tell me lol. And yes, Ichigo will also keep some of his key fights! But some of his fights will transfer to others, or might not even exist. So just know that! Alright, that's it from me! Tell me who else you want in the harem, I'll tally it up and announce it! Till next time, thank you for reading!
