Flashback/Past events.

Warning: English isn't my native language.

Ichigo was on his knees. Ichigo's most distinguishing feature was his spiky orange hair, a trait he had been ridiculed for years. He was a tall, lean-built young man with peach skin and brown eyes. He liked to wear slim-fitting clothes. He tended to wear shirts patterned with the number 15 because his name was a homonym for the number. Since becoming a Shinigami, he had become noticeably more muscular, as noted by his sister Karin. When in his spiritual form, Ichigo wore the standard Shinigami shihakushō, with the addition of a strap across his chest.

In front of him stood Renji Abarai, who was laughing. Renji had brown eyes and long crimson hair, usually in a high ponytail. As a child, Renji's hairline was leveled. Later, he styled it in a large widow's peak. His upper body was covered in tribal tattoos, which have increased over time, starting from his early days as an academy student, to cover his entire back, chest, extremities, and even much of his forehead.

Ichigo had just been severely wounded in the shoulder by Renji's Zanpakutō. He was completely motionless there, just staring at the ground with shocked eyes. It was like his body wasn't obeying him anymore.

"Ichigo!" Rukia Kuchiki called out Ichigo's name with shocked eyes. She couldn't believe that Ichigo had come. She had left a farewell letter, in which she explained her reasons! She had become too used to life as a normal person and had even enjoyed it. She had ignored her doubts because Ichigo was what she had always wanted.

Through him, she found friends and fun in her life. He had shown her how simple things work in the human world. She should have known that someone from the Soul Society would eventually come and get her. She was naive and had always ignored her doubts. Now, she had to pay the price. She could only watch helplessly as Renji completely wrecked Ichigo.

So far, she was only glad that her big brother hadn't intervened. He would have been dead long ago if he had only made one move to eliminate Ichigo. Byakuya Kuchiki had slate gray eyes and long black hair, which he kept up in intricate white headpieces called kenseikan, which symbolized his nobility as the head of the Kuchiki Clan, wearing three on top of his head and another two on the right side. In addition to the standard captain shihakushō, he wore a white scarf and fingerless white tekkō, which only covered the back of his hands.

Byakuya just stood there and watched the whole spectacle with a stoic face. He was never really the person to show a lot of emotions. Ever since she was adopted by the Kuchiki family back then, he had hardly looked at her.

Renji stopped laughing, and his eyes widened when suddenly, someone appeared out of nowhere in front of Ichigo. Everyone present had different reactions to the newcomer's appearance. Rukia was shocked when she saw who appeared there. This person appeared with a Hohō (Movement Technique). But that was impossible! This person wasn't a Shinigami, of which Rukia was 100% sure.

"Yo." The person had spiky blonde hair and blue eyes like the ocean. They could see six whisker marks on his cheeks. He wore a dark orange samue without an undershirt. Over this, he wore a black haori, which sported a white diamond pattern along its bottom half, reminiscent of an inverted captain's haori. He usually wore traditional Japanese wooden sandals. Under his samue, he wore a necklace with a green crystal. (A/N Outfit from Kisuke Urahara in orange, just without his hat, and Naruto wears the necklace from the first Hokage under his name.)

"Naruto!" Rukia was completely speechless. She could feel reiatsu from him! That was impossible. She had never felt reiatsu from him before, yet she had met him many times during her stay in the human world.

"Hi, Rukia!" Naruto raised his hand and waved at her once while smiling. He almost always smiled, and Rukia couldn't remember when he hadn't smiled.

"You and Ichigo seem to be having some issues. You've always been on your own, and since Kisuke Urahara stays out of this, I decided to get involved." Naruto lowered his hand and looked at Renji.

Byakuya looked at Naruto and even narrowed his eyes slightly when he felt his reiatsu and heard the traitor's name. He hadn't heard that name in 100 years. It had been a very long time since he had heard the name of the former 12th Division captain. On top of that, Naruto's reiatsu felt weird. It was similar to a hollow's reiatsu, but he wasn't a hollow by any means. He was a human and not a Shinigami, either.

"Hey man, who are you, and why can you see us?" Renji pointed his Zanpakutō at Naruto and narrowed his eyes.

"Oh, sorry." Naruto chuckled a little. "Where are my manners? My name is Naruto Uzumaki; I'm a writer." He gave a short bow and then looked at Renji. "Isn't that self-explanatory? Can you feel my reiatsu, or are you Shinigami not even able to do that anymore? Some humans can see ghosts or you, Shinigami, if they have enough Reiryoku."

Renji frowned. "What do you want from us?"

"Isn't that obvious?" Naruto stopped smiling. "I want you both to go away again. You're disrupting life here in Karakura Town. Rukia isn't the same anymore, and Ichigo is hurt because of you." Under his Samue, something glowed green briefly before light appeared from under his clothing and created a katana in his right hand. The katana had an orange grip and an oval sword guard.

"I assume you are both lieutenant and captain. This means you both can't use your maximum power." Naruto pointed his katana at Renji. "Even as a lieutenant, you had trouble against Ichigo, and he can't control his reiatsu."

Renji swallowed once, suddenly unable to breathe properly. A massive reiatsu crashed down on him. The whole area seemed to suffer from a gravitational wave as the earth trembled slightly in his eyes everywhere. It was unbearable for him. Naruto's eyes were momentarily cold.

Naruto turned and raised his katana when suddenly Byakuya appeared behind him; zanpakutō drew. Byakuya's zanpakutō and Naruto's katana collided and rubbed against each other.

Naruto looked into Byakuya's eyes. "The same goes for you. Your power is limited, so you don't stand a chance against me either." Naruto pushed Byakuya away, and he flew through the air momentarily before landing safely on both feet.

"Go away and leave the residents of Karakura Town alone." Naruto held his katana at his side and just looked at Byakuya. He looked into Naruto's freezing eyes and narrowed his own.

"You seem very confident in yourself, human." Byakuya raised his zanpakutō and held it directly in front of him. "I don't know exactly where you got this information, but it doesn't matter. I will show you that your arrogance will be your undoing. You don't stand a chance against me even with my limitations."

"PLEASE NOT!" Rukia screamed because she knew exactly what this position meant. Byakuya was about to unleash the Shikai from his zanpakutō. She was impressed by Naruto's strength and ability to respond to her brother's Shunpo (Flash Step). Still, he didn't stand a chance once he unleashed his Shikai.

A green light could be seen briefly at Naruto's feet; right after that, he disappeared briefly and appeared right in front of Byakuya, the tip of his katana aimed at Byakuya's neck. Byakuya's eyes widened as the tip of Naruto's katana was right in front of his neck, and he even felt the tip against his throat.

"I'm not repeating myself Shinigami. I don't care who you are. Take your lieutenant and get out, or I'll kill you both." Naruto's voice was like it hadn't been in a long time. He talked like he used to as a Hokage before he got reborn in this world.

He had a normal childhood, although, in this world, he lost his parents early and became an orphan. But this wasn't so bad because he still had the mind of an adult. Of course, he no longer had any chakra or other abilities from his old life. After all, he was reincarnated and not summoned.

But Naruto had awakened his powers at the age of 7, which he got as a substitute in this world, and over the years, he trained and understood everything about Hollow and Shinigami over time. He was only human, yet he had a high Reiryoku through his experiences and new skills because he started to train his skills early.

He would also succeed in using seals from his old world with Reiryoku instead of chakra. It was a bit difficult to figure out, but with a few modifications of the seals, he could power the seals with Reiryoku.

"Please don't!" Naruto continued to look at Byakuya, holding his katana where it was and not moving it. He heard Rukia's voice and didn't show any emotion. "Please don't hurt my brother Naruto! It's my fault, and he's just following orders!"

"So that's your brother, huh?" Naruto met Byakuya's eyes and glared at him briefly. The two just looked at each other and didn't say a word. An intense reiatsu appeared around Naruto, forcing everyone present except Byakuya himself to their knees.

"Thank your sister," Naruto said in the voice of a Hokage, not a normal writer who published a few books in this world. Rukia couldn't believe how much Reiatsu Naruto was radiating at the moment. His reiatsu was orange.

"Your sister loves you, so show some respect to your family." Naruto pulled the tip of his katana from Byakuya's throat. But before Byakuya could move, he held the katana right before his face.

"This was the final warning. Take your lieutenant and get out. If only one other shinigami shows up in Karakura, and if he targets Rukia, then I will kill that Shinigami directly." He disappeared after a green light briefly appeared at his feet and appeared right behind Rukia with an unconscious Ichigo over his shoulder. He no longer held his katana in his hand.

Rukia's eyes widened briefly before she passed out. Naruto also took Rukia over his shoulder and looked at Renji and Byakuya. "Remember my words, Shinigami. Don't come back to Karakura." Those were the last words Naruto spoke before he disappeared.

Renji gasped heavily when Naruto was gone. He looked at his arm and saw it was still shaking. He looked at Byakuya and saw his captain standing there with his zanpakutō at his side.

He had never seen his captain like this before. He was angry. "Renji." Byakuya sheathed his zanpakutō and looked at his lieutenant. "Yes, Captain?" Renji straightened up and looked Byakuya straight in the eyes.

"We're leaving." Byakuya turned, and Renji bowed before opening the gate to Soul Society with Zabimaru. He couldn't believe that a human had paraded his captain like that. Of course, he and his captain were severely restricted by the limitations, and he was sure that his captain would defeat Naruto without his limitations.

But it was clear that this Naruto had the reiatsu of a Captain Shinigami. However, he was not a shinigami. He disappeared with his captain, and only Uryu remained, who got up after a few minutes and held his shoulder. He looked to where the Shinigami disappeared, and then he went.

'I wasn't wrong when I briefly felt a strong reiatsu from Naruto Uzumaki. He's not a Quincy, but he's not a Shinigami either.' He gasped once and made a face. 'But before I find this out, I need to recover.' Uryu started walking slowly, thinking about how Naruto always disappeared briefly and reappeared immediately. A green light would appear briefly at his feet, like he was interacting with something or someone.

Naruto appeared in the air and just stood there. He held Rukia and Ichigo over his shoulder and looked down at the floor where a certain shop was. 'Should I put Ichigo and Rukia in the hands of Kisuke Urahara? He was close, and yet he allowed the fight. Ichigo really could have died.' Naruto narrowed his eyes and looked outside the shop because a black cat looked up at him.

'That black cat again. Something is wrong with her, too. I should take those two with me first.' Naruto disappeared and made his way to his house on the outskirts of Karakura.

A few hours later, Naruto was on a pile of cushions reading a book he read repeatedly. It was, after all, the first book by his former master. He had written it down word for word so he could read it repeatedly. In the room were two futons, each of which Ichigo and Rukia lay inside.

He was waiting for something to happen. He read and waited since he wasn't tired and had nothing else to do. Either until Rukia or Ichigo woke up or until someone showed up in front of his door.

He was sure that the people from the Urahara Shop or Ichigo's friends would show up by him soon. At least he's not suppressing his reiatsu anymore so that he can be felt and people will know where he is. To this point, he made it impossible for others to feel his Reiatsu with some seals he placed on his body. He let them deactivate because he wanted them to know where he was.

'I have to say... Isshin was stronger when he was still a Shinigami.' Naruto lifted his gaze and looked at Ichigo. 'Is the question of whether Ichigo knows about his origins. He got his powers from Rukia, although he has more than one origin.' He looked back at his book and continued reading.

He read a bit more and then looked at the Gigai (Faux Body) from Rukia. He didn't know exactly where she got this from, but it wasn't normal. He could feel how Rukia's Reiryoku always briefly recovered and immediately went out again. 'This Gigai seems to decompose a Shinigami's Reiryoku or something like that.' He looked again at Rukia, who was only wearing the white robe at the moment because, after all this time, she still hadn't gotten her full Shinigami powers back.

'She's not allowed to use that Gigai anymore.' He was about to start reading again when he heard one of them wake up. He looked at the person and could see the person slowly waking up.

Rukia rubbed the sleep from her eyes and settled into a sitting position. She opened her eyes and looked around. She didn't recognize her surroundings, and when she saw Ichigo, her eyes widened.

"Ichigo!"

"Not so loud." Hearing the voice, she looked into the corner of the room where Naruto was sitting on a pile of cushions, holding a black book. She was slowly remembering everything that had happened a few hours ago.

"Naruto..." She didn't know exactly what to say or how to react to the writer, who often had dinner with Ichigo, Chad, Uryu, Orihime, and herself. He had always been a fairly open person. He was easy to get along with, and everyone laughed a lot around him.

"The two Shinigami are gone for now." He pointed his finger at the Gigai lying on the ground next to him. "I would not use this Gigai again. He seems to be dismantling your Reiryoku, and that's why you haven't fully restored your Shinigami powers yet."

Rukia looked down and now saw that she was wearing a white robe, which was always worn under the black robe of a shinigami. Her eyes widened when she realized what Naruto had just said.

"How do you mean that?"

"Didn't you notice it yourself? Your Reiryoku should have recovered long ago. Even though you've been in Karakura for several months, you still don't have your powers back." Naruto looked Rukia straight into her eyes and saw her realization.

"That means that Urahara..."

"You got this gigai from Kisuke Urahara?" He looked at the gigai. "It seems he didn't want you to return to the world of the shinigami so quickly."

She stayed silent for a few seconds and looked at Naruto. She could still feel his reiatsu. At first, she thought it was all just a dream, but then her last memories of her happened.

"Naruto... thanks."

Naruto looked at Rukia and saw her slight smile. "Thank you for protecting Ichigo. This guy never does what I tell him and keeps putting himself in danger."

"No problem."

"May I ask you something?" She wanted to know. He was not a shinigami and not a Quincy like Uryu. He was something else. He couldn't be a normal person.

"You want to know what I am." Naruto closed the book, standing up. He looked at Rukia and said, "Get up and follow me." Naruto turned to the door and started walking slowly. Rukia just got up and followed Naruto. Because of her long sleep, she had more strength again. Since she no longer wore her Gigai, her Reiryoku was no longer disassembled either.

She and Naruto walked down a hallway with a wooden floor and white walls. This hallway was very reminiscent of a hallway in a temple. 'It almost looks like in the Soul Society.' Even the door was sliding, like in a temple. Naruto stopped in front of a door and pushed the door aside. Rukia saw a staircase that went down, and they went down there. The stairs themselves were also made of wood. She would like to know where she was here.

When they reached the bottom of the stairs, they were both in a large dojo-like hall. Rukia looked around and briefly admired the room's beauty. Pictures of villages and landscapes she had never seen were on the walls.

Naruto walked to the center of the great hall and turned to Rukia. "I didn't want to wake Ichigo up because he was still asleep. Down here, we can talk in peace, and here, I can show you what you want to know."

Naruto pulled a necklace out from under his clothes and wore it so Rukia could see it. On the necklace was a green crystal. "You've probably noticed that my reiatsu feels more like a hollow."

Rukia just nodded and looked at Naruto. "There is no official name for people like me. I call myself a Fullbringer, and I call my ability Fullbring."

"People like me come into existence because our mothers survived a hollow's attack while pregnant, leaving part of its reiryoku within her. This reiryoku was passed to the kids, so my reiatsu feels more like a hollow reiatsu. Fullbring enables Fullbringer to manipulate the souls contained within matter. Everything, even rudimentary objects such as lampposts and chairs, possesses a soul, however small. By using our power to "pull" on this soul, Fullbringers can manipulate the object's movement or even alter its physical characteristics. For example, Fullbringers could have a beverage assist them in drinking it by pulling on its soul, drawing it into their mouth. Likewise, Fullbringers can walk across its surface without falling through by pulling on the soul of water. Many more feats are possible, making the Technique highly versatile. Unlike other spiritual beings, Fullbringers use their power with their physical bodies. Because of this, they must train extensively to build up their stamina."

Rukia could understand somewhat what Naruto was explaining. He can influence the soul of objects. She had never heard of this ability before, but the description immediately brought to mind Yasutora Sado and Orihime Inoue. According to the description, these two would also be Fullbringer.

"You seem to get it straight away." Naruto smiled and pulled out a photo of everyone. Naruto met up with Ichigo and his friends on a day off. The photo included Rukia, Ichigo, Chad, Orihime, Tsubaki, and Naruto. Naruto pointed at Chad and Orihime in turn.

"These two are also Fullbringer. They have the same skills as me. Unlike them, I had my skills for several years and have already mastered them."

"Was your katana also a Fullbring ability?" Rukia could still remember Naruto holding a katana out of nowhere. He held a finger to the green crystal on the necklace, and right after that, Rukia could see a green light briefly. The green crystal turned to a green light before it became the katana in Naruto's other hand with the orange grip and oval sword guard.

"By developing an affinity for a particular object, a Fullbringer can alter its form, granting powers that vary greatly among individuals. This affinity can be defined by one's love for the object or an overall fondness for it. As such, this power is usually awakened through a strong emotion associated with the object, such as pride. Using this affinity, Fullbringers pull out the object's soul and boost it with their own, transforming it in the process." Naruto held the katana horizontally and showed it to Rukia, "I can turn the crystal of my necklace into this katana."

"In Orihime's example, the object would be the hair clip; in Chad's example, it's not an object directly. He is not manipulating the soul of a specific object, but the soul of his skin."

"Does your katana have any special abilities?" Rukia couldn't imagine that Naruto's Fullbring was just a simple katana. After all, Chad could emit energy blasts, and Orihime could heal and create barriers with her Fullbring ability.

The katana disappeared in a green light and reappeared as a green crystal on Naruto's necklace. Naruto hid his necklace under his clothes again and looked at Rukia. "I'll keep that to myself for now, Rukia. I hope you can understand my reasons. You could rejoin your brother in the future and tell him about my Fullbring. It wouldn't be of much benefit to me if I revealed all my secrets." Naruto smiled apologetically, and Rukia just nodded.

"Of course." She understood right away why Naruto wouldn't reveal his full abilities. Her brother had already seen everything she had seen herself. It was clear that she would eventually return to Soul Society. Now that she knew why her powers were still not restored, she had a few things to sort out. Now, it was also certain that her powers would regenerate, and she could eventually return to Soul Society alone.

"Rukia!" Ichigo ran into the room with his zanpakutō on his back again. "Ichigo!" Rukia was so glad that Ichigo was still alive. No one could have guessed what would have happened if Naruto hadn't shown up.

Naruto looked at Ichigo and watched the two talk a bit. 'There's more than friendship between the two. Knowing the circumstances, I can't begin to imagine these two' connections.'

He crossed his arms in front of his chest and just waited. He sometimes had to restrain himself from laughing outright because Rukia and Ichigo were fighting and laughing together right after. The dynamic between the two was always amusing to watch.

But one thing was clear for Naruto: the two were there for each other when it came down to it. Although Rukia probably wanted to run away last night, she was extremely happy to see Ichigo now. She made no move to move away from him.

"Naruto, thank you for saving me. Without you, Rukia would have been taken away." Ichigo bowed to Naruto. Naruto just looked at Ichigo and remained silent. He said nothing and stopped smiling. His gaze was strange as if he were examining Ichigo. It was as if Naruto was currently considering whether Ichigo was worth it.

Ichigo lifted his head and saw Naruto's gaze. He had to swallow once, and he couldn't say anything. Even Rukia didn't know what was going on. Naruto always smiled and had a normal conversation with her during their conversation. Now, he seemed so serious and so menacing.

"Do you want to get stronger?" Naruto's voice echoed through the large room and entered Ichigo's ear canal. Ichigo's face straightened, and determination showed in his eyes.

"Of course, I want to get stronger. Next time, I'll win against those two." There was a blue glow in his eyes, and Rukia looked at Ichigo. Naruto just looked at him and smirked contentedly.

"All right, Ichigo. I will train you until Rukia regains her strength. It will be two months before she regains her full powers. Until then, we will turn you into a real shinigami."

Rukia looked at Naruto. "Naruto, you're not a shinigami. How will you turn Ichigo into a real shinigami in that time?" She knew that Ichigo would never give up and wouldn't leave her alone. That idiot was just too stubborn for that. She was only there to strengthen Ichigo until she was a full Shinigami again. Naruto was a Fullbringer and not a Shinigami. How could he help him become a real Shinigami?

"You're right, of course, Rukia." Naruto suddenly held his katana in his hand. "That's what you're here for." He slowly walked towards the two of them, keeping his katana at his side. Ichigo reflexively grabbed the handle of his zanpakutō.

"Very good, Ichigo. Always expect an attack, even in the most unusual of circumstances." Naruto stopped in front of the two. "You are a shinigami, and you can teach him everything he needs to know about his zanpakutō and his other abilities as a shinigami." He looks at Ichigo and says, "I'll show him how to survive." Naruto swung his katana, and Ichigo pulled out his zanpakutō just in time, blocking the powerful blow. Ichigo was thrown back from the force. Just before he hit the wall of the great hall, a barrier appeared and caught him.

"Hey, Ichigo, what did I just say?" Naruto's katana disappeared, reverting to the green crystal on his necklace. He looked at Ichigo, who was angry at Naruto's sudden punch.

"DO YOU WANT TO KILL ME?" Ichigo stood up and pointed his zanpakutō at Naruto. "Another smack like that, and I'll fuck you up, bloody bum."

"Before we get to the real training, I would say that you get to know your Zanpakutō more." Naruto looked at Rukia. "I'll leave that task to you. I'll see that you get a new Gigai and, this time, a normal one." Naruto left the great hall, leaving Rukia and Ichigo alone. He smiled when Rukia started to explain something.

'My life got pretty interesting from here on out, huh?' Naruto walked into the room where Rukia was wearing the gigai, took the gigai, and threw it over his shoulder. He went to the front door and opened it before leaving the house. He closed the door behind him and looked around for a second. He looked at his house and smiled. The house was a traditional-style manor house reminiscent of one he'd seen during his time in the elemental nation he took a liking to. It was a single floor surrounded by high walls with a large yard for training, a large cherry blossom tree on the side, a pond, and a few bushes, and the main building was a good sixty meters long and thirty meters wide, containing several bedrooms with a small kitchen with a large sitting room dominating most of the interior. There would also be the door leading to the underground dojo he used for training. The sitting room opened into the yard, with an extended deck framing that entire side of the house beneath the roof awning.

Naruto appeared before a certain building a few minutes later and went inside. "Hi," Naruto greeted the person behind the counter and smiled. "Long time no see, Asuma."

Did Naruto already mention that he had already met one or the other person from his old world? As it turned out, not only had Naruto ended up in this world after his death, but he was really surprised when he saw Asuma Sarutobi for the first time and spoke to him. Asuma was a Fullbringer, just like Naruto.

"Oh, Naruto. How are you? You've gotten a bit older." Asuma drew his cigarette and blew the smoke into the room.

"What can I say? We are already a long time in this world." He shrugged and put Rukia's Gigai on the counter. Naruto's appearance didn't change after he became 26 years old, like in his old world. He was already a few decades in this world. It was like his body stopped aging when he became 26 years old.

"What do we have here?" Asuma looked at the Gigai and narrowed his eyes. He could see right away that this Gigai wasn't normal. "It is a Gigai that dissected the Reiryoku. Please give me a normal one in exchange for this one."

Asuma looked at Naruto. "So, have you decided to interfere now?" Asuma took the Gigai and went through a door into a back room. After 5 minutes, he returned and put a normal Gigai on the counter.

"You could say that. I couldn't stand by and let a boy get himself killed by two shinigami, and I saved the shinigami who Kisuke slightly duped." Naruto slung the Gigai over his shoulder. "Thank you, I'll be back tomorrow. We have to play another round of shogi."

Asuma just smiled and nodded. "I'll tell the others. They'll be happy to see you again, Hokage." Naruto laughed a bit and shook his head.

"How often do I have to ask you to stop calling me that, Asuma?"

"Very often. You are the leader of our group, Naruto. We decided that we Fullbringers would stick together, especially through our past lives. Since you were Hokage and the hero of the last war, it was clear that you would become our leader."

Naruto just shrugged. "Whatever. I'm back at my house in case something should happen." Naruto left the building and left with the new Gigai for Rukia.

Asuma took a puff on his cigarette and looked down at his lighter. It started glowing green before turning into a trench knife. 'I should use my muscles again. We might fight Shinigami soon.' The trench knife turned back into a lighter, and Asuma slipped it into his pocket.

He looked at the door. 'I'm excited to see what else you have planned, Hokage.' He smiled and went to the back room, where he started examining the weird Gigai. Not every day you get a special Gigai that dissects the wearer's Reiryoku.
