Welcome to a new chapter of Naruto: Shinigami of the Kyubiakuma! I do not own Naruto or Bleach, just this story!
"T-This can't be!" Toshiro stammered as the intense sensation of Naruto's incredible spiritual pressure was felt throughout the Soul Society. Even the Captain-Commander took a moment from his battle with Ukitake and Kyoraku to glance in Naruto's direction with a look of slight intrigue upon his face.
"T-This is Naruto's Bankai?" Rukia choked out as the mere presence of Naruto made it difficult for the Kuchiki to breath.
Renji, who was still injured from his battle against Byakuya, was halted as he sensed Naruto's massive spiritual pressure.
"Blondie did it, he's achieved Bankai…" Renji said as a small smile spread across his face. "Don't lose Naruto, I'll be there soon to back you up…" With a determined look on his face, Renji shook off the pain from his injuries, continuing on his route to the battlefield.
"Where are you going?" a voice questioned, which caused Renji to look back.
"What do you want?" Renji asked rudely before he was cut across the chest, blood rolling down Renji's chest as he fell to one knee.
"I came to finish the job our captain began," Sasuke stated as he poked Renji in the side of his neck with his zanpakuto. "You're a traitor to the Soul Society, there's no way I'll let you live."
"You know, I'm tired of you Uchiha," Renji stated as he leaned on his sword for support to keep his body from collapsing. "You've been a thorn in my side ever since you've joined the division."
"You mean because I took your position from you on my first day?" Sasuke asked as a smirk rolled across his face. "Just admit it Abarai, you're upset because you never got to tell your Rukia that you got a promotion. Because I took that, and now I'm going to make sure that Rukia's life is taken as well. There's nothing you or that bonehead Naruto can do to stop it…"
"Shut up, you have no idea what you're talking about!" Renji roared as he interrupted Sasuke. "Naruto is…"
Renji was silenced as Sasuke shoved his zanpakuto through Renji's stomach, Sasuke standing up close and personal next to Renji as he executed this.
"You know what I can't stand? When a loser interrupt's me," Sasuke whispered in Renji's ear as Renji's head rested on Sasuke's left shoulder, a line of blood rolling down Renji's chin. Sasuke snickered as he tossed Renji to the ground like trash, Renji's chest moving in an accelerated rate as he struggled to stay conscious.
"Naruto is a loser, just like you," Sasuke told Renji as he sheathed his zanpakuto in its sheath. "You'll never defeat real Shinigami like me and Captain Kuchiki, so just face reality. Right now, Naruto has just signed his death warrant by returning to the Soul Society. Personally, I think he should have stayed dead… but if that damn Rukia is so important to him…" A bloodthirsty grin slithered across Sasuke's face as he glared in the direction from where Naruto's spiritual pressure was coming from.
"I'll kill her myself…"
Naruto allowed his aura to stabilize as he stood before Toshiro in his Bankai.
"Naruto… has Bankai…" Rangiku choked out as she peeked a look at a dumbfounded Toshiro, who seemed to be in shock. "Captain…"
Rangiku flash stepped before Toshiro, sword unsheathed in an instant as she prepared to step in to fight Naruto.
"Naruto, I can't let you attack our captain!" Rangiku shouted earnestly at Naruto, who could hear the fear in her voice as she spoke to him. "I'll fight you if I have to…" Rangiku silenced herself as the Naruto standing before her disappeared as if he was a mirage.
"R-Rangiku!" Toshiro choked out as Rangiku was knocked out by the hilt of Naruto's zanpakuto, which Naruto slammed against the back of her head.
"Sorry, but I won't let you interfere in this Rangiku," Naruto whispered to the unconscious Rangiku as he picked her up with both hand's. He flash stepped to a safe distance away from the battlefield, laying Rangiku on the ground, then flash stepping back to Toshiro. Through Toshiro's eye's, it looked as if Naruto had never moved an inch from his previous position.
"His speed has increased beyond comprehension," Toshiro said aloud as he tried to get an analysis on Naruto's Bankai. "It's no good, I can't get a good reading of his abilities unless I was to fight him head on. Which might not fare well, due to the fact that in this current form, his spiritual pressure is even higher than my own…"
"Come on, stop analyzing me Toshiro, let's just end this!" Naruto complained as Toshiro's eye's widened.
"What do I do here?" Toshiro wondered as he watched Naruto prepare to attack. "If I just stand here and wait for him to attack, who knows what will occur due to the unknown ability of that zanpakuto. Even if I poured all my strength into disarming him, he is an expert at shunko, which could place me at a more slight advantage, but this would still not be enough… I could try to freeze him… but my lower techniques will all not work, plus I'm not trying to kill him…"
Toshiro was interrupted by the feeling of someone leaning against his back, but Naruto was still standing before him, ready to attack. But as Toshiro looked back, it was indeed Naruto that was behind him. Naruto smiled at him as he pointed toward the sky, Toshiro looking up to see another Naruto coming at him for an aerial attack. Toshiro managed to block the attack with his zanpakuto as it entered his radius, but the sheer strength of Naruto's zanpakuto was overwhelming the captain.
"Physically since I was the container of a beast in my past life, my body is more tailored than your own for combat," Naruto told Toshiro, who gritted his teeth in anger. "Meaning, though your training and experience are higher than my own…" Naruto broke through Toshiro's defense, slashing Toshiro across the chest with a precise, quick cut. Blood flew in the air as Toshiro held his chest in pain, the cut not deep, but enough to get the blond Shinigami's point across.
"I'm physically stronger than you," Naruto finished, Toshiro's mind still trying to wrap around a way to defeat Naruto.
"He's smarter, faster, and stronger than he was before…" Toshiro thought as blood rolled down his shihakusho. "If this battle continues, it will be a battle to the death…"
"Toshiro, let's end this…"
Toshiro's eye's widened as he felt Naruto's spiritual pressure decrease slightly. Naruto turned away from Toshiro, headed toward Ichigo and Byakuya.
"Wait… this isn't over!" Toshiro shouted as Naruto chuckled, turning to Toshiro with a kind smile on his face.
"Come on, I just wanted to show you that I'm better than I was before Captain," Naruto told Toshiro, who still seemed to be in shock. "Besides, what would it looked like if a guy who's trying to become the best Shinigami ever was to kick his Captain's butt? I wanna fight you again Captain, but not like this. I wanna fight you, Captain against Captain, one on one! So just wait until then, OK Toshiro?"
A small smile appeared on Toshiro's face as he looked up at Naruto.
"It's… Captain Hitsugaya until then Naruto," Toshiro told him, a grin spreading across Naruto's face as he turned away from Toshiro to head to Ichigo and Byakuya's battle. "Good luck Naruto…"
Akatsuki
Meanwhile, Obito was still in the midst of attacking the Akatsuki member's on Aizen's side.
"How did you know they were coming Master?" Soi Fon whispered to Yoruichi, who smiled as Soi Fon asked this question.
"When I was leaving Ichigo, I had come across Obito and his team entering the Soul Society using some type of teleportation," Yoruichi explained. "I had initially planned to intercept them, but when I sensed your spiritual pressure rise, I began to suspect that the other Akatsuki had made their move. So I told this to Obito, who was fine with me leading him and his team to where Aizen was located."
"So why did you arrive by yourself?" Soi Fon asked as Yoruichi's eye's narrowed.
"They had an old man with them, who I don't know what they did with before they came here," Yoruichi said. "Something tells me that old man is important to them…"
Zabuza stood before Haku, Haku holding her zanpakuto to his side as Zabuza ran forward. Zabuza heaved his giant zanpakuto at Haku's torso, Haku jumping up as the zanpakuto was in his radius. Haku landed on the top of the zanpakuto, Zabuza's eye's widening as Haku kicked him across the face with his left foot, which caused Zabuza to be pushed back slightly. Zabuza growled as he ran forward once again, this time Haku holding his sword before him.
"Release, Kōri Keimusho!" Haku shouted as his shikai was released, his sword transforming into a mere needle about 20 inches long.
"Impressive Haku, but do you think that mere toy will beat me?" Zabuza asked menacingly as he continued running toward Haku, who simply jumped over him as he entered his radius.
"Bankai!" Haku shouted as he dropped the needle to the ground, which seemed to phase through the ground like it was dropped inside a puddle. As this occurred, several ice walls appeared around Zabuza.
"I felt that I should not sully you by killing you with my shikai due to the fact that you still resemble Master Zabuza," Haku told Zabuza as he slipped inside one of the ice mirrors. "So I will give you a warrior's death inside my Ice Chambers, one that you deserve."
"You've got a lot of nerve Haku…" Zabuza stated as his spiritual pressure leaked throughout the Ice Chamber. "To speak to me in such a way as if you have the strength… no, the ability to defeat someone of my strength! You little urchin, I'll kill you!"
"Enough of you embarrassing Master Zabuza's name," Haku stated as each mirror now held an image of Haku. "Kōri no yari shi!" Zabuza's eye's widened as his body was riddled with hundreds of ice spears, each spear hitting him in a vital area. As Zabuza looked up at Haku with blood coming from every wound on his body, Haku disappeared, the entire ice chamber exploding in his disappearance. Haku now stood before the explosion, both groups of the Akatsuki glancing back to witness the explosion. Haku silently picked up his mask, which he was prepared to place back on his face. But as he lifted the mask to his face, Zabuza's sword was heaved into his back, which caused the sword to come out the front of Haku's chest. Haku glanced down at the sword in sheer shock as he glanced back to see an entirely different creature than Zabuza behind him.
"I told you Haku, I'm not the same person anymore…" Zabuza stated as Haku fell to his knees. "It's now time for you to witness my true power…"
The finale of Haku vs. Zabuza! Naruto to settle the score with Byakuya! All this and so much more next chapter of Naruto: SOTK! Plus, keep up with voting, next chapter, which is chapter number 50, I shall announce the results! See you soon!
