Welcome to the newest chapter of Naruto: Shinigami of the Kyubiakuma! I do not own Naruto or Bleach, so don't sue me!
Madara's Susano'o was filled with the bright red light of Naruto's Tenmazen Naruto shielding his eyes from the light, waiting to see if his point blank attack on Madara was successful. As the light began to subside however, it was clear that it was not. Madara seemed to be in perfect condition as Naruto peered through the diminishing light at the ancient Uchiha. But he was wrong. As the light completely subsided, Naruto saw that Madara's left arm was gone, the nub that remained causing Madara to endure severe pain.
"Y-You bastard child…" Madara stammered as he winced in the middle of his sentence from the pain. Madara held his nub with his right arm, falling to his knee's as his Susano'o broke apart.
"Tsk, how the Uchiha have fallen," a voice stated boldly as Naruto turned at the sound of the familiar voice.
"I-It's you!" Naruto roared as the same red aura that surrounded Kyubiakuma shot from Naruto's body.
"You've done well, Uzumaki Naruto," Aizen congratulated Naruto as he approached him and Madara with a growing sinister smile on the tyrant's face. "You've managed to not only defeat an aged relic that is past overdue, you practically handed me the Hogyoku. I must thank you personally…"
"SHUT… THE… HELL… UP…!" Naruto sounded out each word as he spit it out his mouth. "I hate you even more than I hate this bastard! I'm going to finish this here and now! TENMAZEN!" Naruto shot a Tenmazen at the approaching Aizen, whose sinister smile increased as the attack entered his radius. Aizen literally deflected the attack to the sky with his right hand, Naruto's eye's widening as Aizen tapped him on the shoulder.
"You mistake me for that old fool," Aizen whispered in Naruto's ear, who was shocked that Aizen managed to perform such a feat. "You… are weak…" Aizen suddenly sheathed his zanpakuto, which seemed to appear from nowhere. Naruto watched him do this in confusion, until he seen a large gash appear across his chest, Naruto's eye's widening as he fell to the ground.
"Naruto!" Rukia screamed as she struggled to get free from her restraint. "Dammit, I need to…"
Hollow Ichigo was behind Aizen, who seemed to not be on his guard, Hollow Ichigo's zanpakuto above his head as he prepared to attack. But as he did, the Aizen he attacks disappeared, an afterimage. Aizen appeared above Hollow Ichigo, who looked up at him with a bloodthirsty grin on his face. Aizen flashed him a small smile, which seemed to infuriate the Hollow. Hollow Ichigo jumped up to approach Aizen, but was kicked in the side of his face by Aizen, who was at the side of the Hollow now. Hollow Ichigo looked at the Aizen in front of him who was disappearing, another afterimage. Hollow Ichigo couldn't even move as Aizen slashed him across the chest with his zanpakuto, Hollow Ichigo's eye's widening as he fell to the ground with a sickening thud. Aizen landed at his side, glaring down at the fallen Hollow with a disgusted look on his face. With his left foot, he crushed the Hollow mask on Ichigo's face, which crumbled to pieces beneath the tyrant's boot, leaving Ichigo unconscious.
"Now that we're finally alone, let's talk," Aizen stated as he turned to Madara. "It's been a while, Madara-sensei."
"You still call me sensei after all the trouble you've caused me?" Madara choked out as he glared at Aizen angrily.
"I call you that because I still respect the man you once were, the man who taught me everything I know," Aizen answered simply as he kneeled beside Madara. "But you've grown old, decrepit. Your stamina is pathetic; you fell to someone as weak as Uzumaki Naruto. You cannot achieve what you plan when you cannot even fully wield your power as you once did. Even your trump card, the mighty Rinnegan is pathetic now. You were overpowered by two children, which is the reason I left your pathetic Akatsuki to start my own. I had realized that you had reached your limit, as well as your usefulness in my eye's…" Aizen unsheathed his zanpakuto; Madara's shocked expression reflecting off the polished blade.
"You once told me that in this world, wherever there is light, there is also shadow's," Aizen continued. "That as long as the concept of winner's existing, there must be losers. That the selfish desire of wanting to maintain peace cause's wars, and hatred is born to protect love. But that is wrong, all of it is pathetically wrong. Except one specific part…" Aizen cut Madara across the chest, a handful of blood coming down Madara's mouth as Aizen did this.
"That as long as the concept of winners exists, there must be losers," Aizen stated as he sheathed his zanpakuto. "You were weak, which therefore make's you the loser…" Aizen silenced himself as he blocked an incoming attack from Obito, who attacked him from out of nowhere.
"Another Uchiha poised to die at my feet," Aizen muttered as he smiled maliciously at Obito, who did not return the smile. "Did you come to see your mentor die?"
"No, I've come to kill you," Obito hissed menacingly as he ran at Aizen, who blocked Obito's incoming attack with his right hand, not bothering to even use his zanpakuto.
"O-Obito, s-stop!" Madara choked out as he looked up at the angry Uchiha. "Y-You do not possess the power to defeat him right now, t-take the Hogyoku and go!"
"No, I won't just run away!" Obito roared angrily as he glared at Aizen. But as the Uchiha looked down at the side of Aizen's feet, he saw Naruto, who had fainted. He knew he was acting as he once did, like a child. Just like… Uzumaki Naruto.
"You're right," Obito stated calmly as he turned to Rukia, whose eye's widened. "The Hogyoku take precedence."
"What make's you think you'll just take it?" Aizen asked as he advanced toward Obito.
"Because of this," Obito stated as he disappeared in a black portal for a second. When he returned, his entire Akatsuki stood by his side. Each of the Akatsuki had their weapons drawn, prepared to fight the tyrant.
"Hmm, what a fool," Aizen hissed as he snapped his finger's, his entire Akatsuki now at his side as well.
Naruto looked up from the ground as he sensed several different high level's of spiritual pressure surrounding him. Aizen was not paying any attention to him, neither was Obito or any of his Akatsuki. Naruto pulled himself up to his feet, slowly making his way toward Rukia.
"Naruto!" Rukia whispered as low as she could as Naruto managed to reach her without being noticed.
"Don't worry, I'm going to get you out of this," Naruto assured his best friend as he tried to loosen her restraint's. But as he did, a zanpakuto tried to slice his hand off, Naruto jumping back in the nick of time to avoid the attack.
"It's been a long time, hasn't it Naruto?" a voice asked in a sinister tone as Naruto turned to face none other than Uchiha Sasuke.
"Sasuke! What the hell are you doing?" Naruto whispered loudly as he glared at the Uchiha, who chuckled in response.
"It should be obvious, I'm doing my duty as a Shinigami," Sasuke answered as a grin crept upon his face.
"Sasuke please, you have to help me save Rukia!" Naruto pleaded as he pointed to the two group's of Akatsuki. "Both of those group's are trying to take something inside of her called…"
"Oh, you mean the Hogyoku?" Sasuke finished as Naruto turned to see Aizen smiling menacingly at him from the battlefield. Naruto's eye's widened as he looked at Sasuke, who began to laugh as he seen the look on Naruto's face.
"Y-You're with Aizen…" Naruto stated in disbelief as Sasuke unsheathed his zanpakuto from its sheath.
"Well, look who figured it out," Sasuke teased as he pointed his zanpakuto at Naruto. "You did before as well… but I guess you still don't remember due to Hiro's memory wipe. What a shame… guess it's time to settle this once and for all now…"
"You… bastard!" Naruto roared as he pointed his zanpakuto at Sasuke's chest. "I will not let you hurt Rukia! I SWEAR IT!"
This is it! The battle of Sasuke vs. Naruto begins next chapter with so many questions looming in the air! Is Madara really defeated? Is Aizen going to take the Hogyoku? Will Ichigo be able to come through? Will backup arrive in time to help? Find out all these answers and more in the next exciting chapter of Naruto: Shinigami of the Kyubiakuma!
