Disclaimer; I don't own either Naruto or Bleach.

It's time for chapter 9 of Naruto: The Shinigami Sage! I know that I've been gone for some time, but that's only because I've been helping out the person who took my Naruto x Overwatch challenge! I can tell that it's going to be good from the way we've worked on it and we both are hoping that when it comes out that people will enjoy it too.

So anyway, I decided to do my own filler episode in order to skip the next one after they deal with Grand Fisher. Word of warning to those who have been waiting to know who Naruto's enemy is, he will appear in this chapter, along with another character from his time. This is going to be his background as a Hollow before he became an Arrancar, though that will come later because Aizen doesn't have the Hōgyoku yet.

I've also decided that the harem will be at 14 girls, just to make it even. Hey, he is going to marry them all at the end of the story and still have some pieces on the side, he is fucking lucky. Which does bring me to an important question, who will be his main girl? I'm thinking Soifon because she knew Naruto first, but Yoruichi thought of sleeping with him first. However, Rukia spent more time with him.

Chapter 9: Secrets and Enemies Rising!

(Seireitei: Squad 1 Main Hall)

Once Eikichirō had returned from his mission in the World of the Living, a captains meeting was called to discuss what he found on Rukia Kuchiki's unexplained absence. Now, Eikichirō stood before all thirteen captains ready to give his report. Everyone quieted down once the Head-Captain tapped his cane on the ground.

"This meeting shall now commence." Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto stated, getting all of the captains attention. "This meeting has been called in order to discuss the unexplained absence of one Rukia Kuchiki, who has not reported back to the Soul Society in several weeks. Eikichirō Saidō here was sent to the World of the Living not too long ago to find her and figure out why she has been missing as of late. You may begin Saidō. Please, explain to us your findings."

"Thank you Head-Captain. As you were all just informed, I was given the task to go to the World of the Living and finding out why Rukia Kuchiki has not returned to the Soul Society in the past few weeks. I managed to tracked her down and speak with her. She explained that Hollows frequently appeared in the town that since she is in charge of protecting the town she has been unable to return due to this problem and has decided that it is her responsibility to deal with them when they appear." Eikichirō explained, hoping none of the captains noticed that he left out some things.

However, one captain decided to speak up.

"If I may Saidō, there seems to be something missing from your story." Mayuri Kurotsuchi, captain of Sqaud 12 and the Department of Research and Development spoke up. "My scanners picked up a powerful Reiatsu of a Hollow that appeared in your location. Normally I wouldn't care to bring something like this up, but my scanners also picked an anomalous energy reading that I've never seen before. Care to explain what it was?"

Eikichirō was able to hide his fear very well, being in the Stealth Force made it easy. However, he knew better then to lie to some of these captains. Especially Mayuri of all people, since lying to him could very well mean death.

"I will be honest, I haven't a clue what this supposed anomaly was Captain Mayuri. You see, while I was one my mission as requested the Hollow Grand Fisher appeared and attacked Rukia and I." Eikichirō stated.

This information surprised the captains who all have heard of the Hollow but never fought him, with the exception of one who fought the Hollow. Soifon remembered the Hollow well, because she never forgot the names of all her men that were killed by him. Not only them though, but also the name of the one who saved her life and found his way into her heart, Naruto Uzumaki.

Soifon's cheeks turned pink at the thought of the one she fell very hard for, but quickly got it under control before anyone could notice and continued to listen to the conversation.

"When he attacked, he knocked Rukia and I out and was no doubt going to devour us. However, when I woke up, I found that I was still alive. Though, Grand Fisher was dead and Rukia was gone. I could still feel her Reiatsu, so that means she is still alive. So, with my mission complete, I returned to the Soul Society and here we are." Eikichirō explained, managing to keep Naruto, Rukia, and Ichigo's involvement hidden.

The captains all took in this information and thought on all that he said before the Head-Captain spoke.

"Hmm, this is all very interesting to learn and the absence of Rukia Kuchiki will be looked into, but for the time being we will file the information on Grand Fisher away until further notice. Ask for this anomaly, if it should make another appearance, we shall send someone to look into immediately as soon as possible. Thank you for your time Eikichirō, you may go." Yamamoto stated, getting a nod from the man before he spoke again. "With that, this meeting is now dismissed."

While on their way out of the meeting, Soifon walked closer to Eikichirō before speaking to him quietly.

"My office as soon as we get back to the Squad 2 barracks, don't be late." Soifon whispered, before walking off.

(Squad 2 Barracks: Soifon's Office)

Once Eikichirō had made it back to his squad, he quickly made his way to his captains office as instructed, knowing not to get on her bad side. He stood before her door before knocking.

"Enter." Soifon's called.

Eikichirō entered and found the petite captain at her desk with a serious expression on her face as she watched him sit in the seat across from her.

"You wanted to see me captain?" Eikichirō asked, but had a feeling he knew why she did.

"I know there's more to your story then you let on Saidō. You know what happened to Grand Fisher and you know who killed him. I want to know the whole story now and who killed that monster." Soifon stated, but had a hidden hope that it was Naruto.

Eikichirō sighed before he spoke.

"You already know half of the story, but some of it was either a small lie or hidden truth. Before I explain it though, I hate to ask this of you captain, but you have to keep this between us. The other captains will have my head if you tell any of them." Eikichirō stated.

"Just why should I keep it a secret from my fellow captains for you Eikichirō?" Soifon questioned, even though she would do it regardless if he asked her to or not.

"It's not for me, but for the three that were involved in Grand Fisher's death. Me being punished is one thing, but these three will be hunted down by the Soul Society for what really happened. So please captain, don't tell anyone about this." Eikichirō said, making Soifon mock think before she spoke.

"Very well, what is said will not leave this room under any circumstance. Now, tell me what really happened." Soifon said, getting a thankful smile from her subordinate.

"Okay; as I had said before, I did find Rukia Kuchiki as was my mission and we did speak. However, there was something very important that I left out about her." Eikichirō began. "Rukia Kuchiki has given a human her Shinigami powers and utterly lost hers."

This shocked Soifon, because every Shinigami knew that they were forbidden from giving a human their power ever since the first incident that it had happened and things went bad fast. Since then, it has become one of the biggest rules of the Seireitei to never give your power to a human. Before Soifon could even think to go back on her word to Eikichirō, the man stopped her thoughts.

"Wait captain, before you jump to any conclusions hear me out first. Yes; she has broken one of our biggest rules, but the one she gave her powers to is using them for good by doing her Shinigami responsibilities for her." Eikichirō stated, getting Soifon to stop any form of her thoughts at the moment. His name is Ichigo Kurosaki, a substitute Shinigami. I don't know the guy very well, but I can tell that this one won't be anything like the first one we ever had. He is willing to fight for others and not himself, he doesn't even misuse his new acquired powers."

"I see. Fine, I will ignore this piece of information on Rukia Kuchiki and this Ichigo Kurosaki for the time being. Now, on to Grand Fisher and this anomaly that killed him." Soifon stated, wanting to know if her hopeful hunch was correct.

Eikichirō inwardly smirked at her. He couldn't see it, but knew that his captain was quite hopeful at what he was about to tell her.

"Well, there was another person during this time. The one who fought Grand Fisher and killed him. Not only that, but said he did it to fulfill a promise to someone that he made it to centuries ago." Eikichirō stated, goading his captain on and almost laughing at the tinge pink appearing on her cheeks. "The person that fought Grand Fisher was a man named Naruto Uzumaki the Rikudou Sennin."

Soifon's cheeks burned red at the mention of the man she had fallen for so long ago and her heart sped up from knowing that he still remembers her after all this time and even kept his promise about killing Grand Fisher for her in order to avenge her men that were killed by him.

'Naruto-kun, he still remembers me. Not to mention after all this time, he actually kept his promise and killed Grand Fisher. I couldn't be happier.' Soifon thought in a rare form of happiness before quickly composing herself. "Thank you Saidō, you may go now. And don't worry about me revealing the truth to the other captains, I promised I would keep this conversation a secret and I never break my promises."

"Heh, thank you Captain Soifon." Eikichirō said as he stood and turned to leave before stopping at the door. "If you don't mind me saying captain, I think you two would make a good couple."

Soifon blushed at what Eikichirō said as she watched him leave. She sighed at his words before she started thinking to herself.

'Naruto-kun, I'm happy to know you remember me just as much I remember you. I hope we meet again one of these days, I've missed you so much.' Soifon thought with a blush as she started doing paperwork.

While Eikichirō was walking away from Soifon's office, he couldn't stop the smile that formed on his face.

'Heh, I saw that blush of hers. Boy, she has really fallen hard for you blondie. Maybe when you two meet again she'll change from the person everyone knows on the outside to the one she is on the inside.' Eikichirō thought as he walked off.

(Hueco Mundo)

Unknown to anyone, there was a certain Hollow wondering the endless desert that is the world of the Hollows. This Hollow was a male that stood a good 20 meters tall with dark blue skin and white, skeletal armor on the chest, arms, and shins. He had an athletic humanoid body, but with two pairs of arms connected at the elbows, the extra pair mirroring the front ones by facing the back and six fingers on each hand.

Its white mask is quite unique due to having two faces with one facing the front of the body and the other facing the back, but with distinct features for both. The front face has elongated canine teeth in its lower jaw bracket and two tusks growing from said jaw, while the back face has similarly elongated canine teeth in its upper jaw bracket and a single horn protruding from its forehead, both of which have the same small red eyes. Finally, the Hollow hole is seen in the center of the Hollows chest where the heart should be.

This Hollow has wondered the deserts of Hueco Mundo for centuries and has fought many battles, both during life and death. Ever since he first awoke to the world around him, he has lived in it and devoured countless of his own kind in order to fill the hole in his stomach that would never be filled. He first started out as any other new Hollow, a Demi-Hollow. Then later, he found his body merging with his fellow Hollows before his mind went blank. After that, he soon found himself in a much more larger and powerful form called a Menos Grande, his mask at the time being the same as what it currently looks like.

Now, after years of being a Menos class Hollow, he soon became what he is now, an Ahjuchas class Hollow. However, he soon found another hunger in him. Not the same hunger as when he was a Demi-Hollow, but the hunger for power. Because of this, he has wondered the land and devoured Hollow after Hollow for centuries just to become something stronger called a Vasto Lorde. He knew that it was a rarity for any Hollow to become a Vasto Lorde, but was not going to be deterred.

He has met several others who have become Vasto Lorde; such as a quiet one that wouldn't even bother attacking him, one who killed weaker Hollows that just got near him, and the self proclaimed King of Hueco Mundo Barragan. All of the Vasto Lorde's power alone made it clear that he wouldn't last a second trying to devour them, but it did make him want to become as powerful as them. So here he was, looking for another Hollow to devour and be one step closer to becoming a Vasto Lorde.

"*sinff**sniff* There's a powerful Reiatsu nearby and it smells… delicious. I also smell fresh blood, meaning there's a battle." The Hollow stated before running in the direction of the Reiatsu.

Soon enough after a short run, the Hollow soon found what he was looking for in the middle of a field surrounded by pillars of rock formations and dead Hollows. There stood a single Adjuchas class Hollow in the center of the field, who was currently holding another Hollow by the neck.

The Hollow is a male that stood at a good 18 meters tall with an athletic humanoid body covered in tattered, white wrappings with some around his waist that took the form of a long, skirt. Underneath the wrappings though, you could clearly see green skin with his Hollow hole on his chest covered by the the wrappings that formed into a tunic. He has long, whitish-blue hair that reached his lower back and his mask is smooth with an elongated chin, rectangular teeth, a blade-like horn jutting from his forehead, and aquamarine colored markings on his face. His eyes were small with a unique whitish, light blue color to them.

The Hollow watched this powerful one from a good distance, wanting to see what he would do to the one in his hand.

"Ugh… pl-please. W-We were just… hungry. L-Let me go." The Hollow choked out to the one holding him, despite the fact that what he was saying was a waste of breath.

"I'm not stupid. If I were to let you go now, you will either just walk away and be killed by another powerful Hollow or you will try to attack me when my back is turned. No matter how you look at it, you will die." The mystery Hollow stated before opening his mouth and started forming an aquamarine cero. "Be thankful though my friend, because death will be a release for you and a gain of power for me. Farewell."

With that, the Hollow blasted the head of the one in his hand, thusly killing him in one hit before dropping his body to the ground. He would have devoured the Hollows remains, but his attention was brought to the other Hollow that had recently showed up, who now stood before him.

"Interesting. Very interesting indeed. You are quite the powerful one, now aren't you?" The two headed Hollow stated as he looked at the carnage before him.

"And who might you be? Another foolish Hollow who believes he can devour me?" The other Hollow questioned, preparing to fight.

"Heheh, close. I'm here to devour you and become a Vasto Lorde. I'd ask if you would submit and allow me to devour you, but I can see that would be a waste of effort." The Hollow said, gesturing to the bodies of other Hollows. "My only option is to fight you and kill you."

"Fine then, since you are going to try and do so anyway, I will fight you. However, might I know the name of my opponent? After all, I can tell that you are nothing like these other Hollows that attacked me." The Hollow stated.

"When I was alive, my name was Madara Uchiha." The now identified Madara introduced.

"Toneri Ōtsutsuki." The now identified Toneri introduced. "Madara Uchiha huh? Yes; I've heard of you before when I to was alive as well. In fact, I was from the same time as you. I must say, I was angered by the way you misused your chakra. Though I couldn't punish you back then with the rest of humanity, this is just as good."

Madara was curious about the Hollows name and what he meant by punishing humanity for misusing chakra, but pushed those thoughts aside. After all, there was no point in worrying about a world that he didn't live in any longer.

The two stood before each other, not taking their eyes off the other. The first to make a move was Madara, who charged at Toneri with speed that was unexpected of something his size. Toneri blocked a powerful punch, but didn't expect the follow up from his secondary arm. Toneri skidded back from the blow before regaining his balance. He saw Madara run at him again and quickly threw his arms out, making the wraps on them shoot out at the approaching Hollow.

Madara saw this and quickly began dodging the incoming wrappings that whipped and swatted at him, some smashing the ground where he was before Toneri brought them back and had them rewrap themselves around his arms. Madara observed this with interest, figuring out how his fellow Hollow fought.

'Hmm, interesting. It would seem those wrappings are not just for show, but for combat. However, it seems that despite their speed and power he can't keep them out for very long. I work with this perfectly.' Madara thought before watching Toneri shoot another round of wrappings at him.

Madara smirked behind his mask before he disappeared out of sight. Surprised by this, Toneri searched for him before a shadow fell on him. Looking up, Toneri found Madara charging a blue cero from his mouth before firing at him. Toneri quickly brought his wrappings up and blocked the cero, which exploded on contact while Madara landed nearby. He watched to see if that blast killed Toneri, but was surprised to see the Hollow unharmed as walked out of the flames.

"In case you're wondering of that blast didn't kill me, it's because these wrappings of mine are not cloth, they are my Hierro. They're as fast as a whip, but stronger then steel. Basically, they're a sword and shield." Toneri explained.

"Is that so? Fascinating. I shouldn't be too surprised that cero wasn't enough to kill you, but it should have at least weakened you. Oh well, I'll just have to do better." Madara stated before formulating a plan in his head as long curved blades emerged from each one of his hands. "Let's continue, shall we?"

Toneri out stretched his right arm, making the wrappings on it stretch out into a long blade. He brought it in front of his face as he stared at Madara.

"Yes, let's." Toneri said simply.

They both charged at one other again, both completely oblivious to the three people watching them from a distance, overhead on a rock formation while keeping their Reiatsu completely hidden.

One has dark skin and purple hair with dark brown braids that is tied in a ponytail. He has pupil-less eyes that are a pale lavender that he covers with a pair of clear goggles. He is wearing the traditional Shinigami uniform with the sleeves rolled up to the shoulders and a captain's haori over it; the uniform is tied with a purple obi sash. He is also wearing an orange scarf around his neck, white boots, and black, fingerless gloves. This man is Kaname Tōsen, captain of Squad 9.

The next one is fairly ordinary in terms of clothing, and he doesn't wear any unique items. His clothes consist of the traditional Shinigami uniform and a captain's heori. His overall appearance, however, is not as normal. His eyes narrowed into slits, Although he appears to be an early to mid twenty-year-old person, he is unusually thin and tall with very sharp features, giving him a skeletal appearance, and bears unusual silver hair. He also has his face set in a wide mocking smile. This man is Gin Ichimaru, the captain of Squad 3.

Finally, the one standing between these two is a mild-featured man with brown scholarly hair enhanced by square glasses, along with soft brown eyes. He is wearing the standard Shinigami uniform with a captain's haori. This man is Sōsuke Aizen, the captain of Squad 5.

"Well, well; we came to recruit this powerful Hollow into our growing forces, but it looks like another powerful one showed up. Heh, what are the odds?" Gin asked no one in particular as he watched the two Hollows fight.

"Indeed, it is most surprising to see another powerful Hollow appear so soon. However, it's not unusual. If anything, such things should be welcomed since it makes searching for ones strong enough to join us much easier." Kaname stated before turning to his leader. "Wouldn't you agree Captain Aizen?"

"Yes; but let's not jump to conclusions just yet Kaname. This other Hollow may be powerful, but don't forget that power isn't everything if you don't know how to use it." Aizen stated as he observed the two Hollows with calculated eyes. "However, this Hollow does seem to possess a great amount of Reiatsu just as much as the other. So either one would make a fine addition to our army."

Back to the fight, Madara blocked a slash from Toneri before throwing him back and went for a stab with his front arms, only for Toneri to block both of them with his larger sword arm. Toneri then made some of his wrappings shoot out at Madara, who jumped back a bit before cutting them with his blades. This forced Toneri to retract the wrappings before he threw his sword arm back and it began emitting a green glow.

Madara watched this curiously before Toneri threw his sword arm forward in a slashing motion, thus firing a green cero in an arc shape at him. Thinking on his feet, Madara quickly jumped into the air and began spinning fast, picking up sand and creating a twister. None too soon, multiple blue ceros shaped like arcs came shooting out in every direction, causing blast after blast and the ones that hit the green cero to explode.

As the smoke that was created began to disperse, Madara landed and searched for Toneri. However, before he could react, said Hollows wrappings shot up from the sand all around him and entangled his body. Madara tried to struggle free, but couldn't as the wrappings tighten the more he did. Madara watched as Toneri rose up from the sand behind him.

"I'm afraid that this is the end for you Madara. However, you lasted much longer then any other Hollow I've fought, so I will give you an honorable death." Toneri stated as he raised his sword arm.

"I don't think so." Madara stated.

Before Toneri could move, the face on the back of Madara's head opened its mouth and fired a cero right through the right side of his body, thus destroy half of Toneri's chest and his entire right arm. Toneri coughed blood as he looked at his injury in surprise. Taking advantage of Toneri's shock, Madara ripped through the wrappings holding him and stabbed Toneri with all of his blades.

"I am truly sorry for this Toneri, but you must realize that in this world it's the survival of the fittest. I promise you though, your death will not have been in vain." Madara stated as the life finally drained from Toneri's Hollow eyes before Madara released his dead body. "Now then… time for the feast."

As Madara proceeded to start devouring Toneri's corpse; Aizen, Kaname, and Gin watched in fascination.

"Well now, it appears that an agreement was reached." Gin quipped, but got nothing but crickets chirping as a response. "My, you two are cold."

"Your wit never gets old Gin." Kaname stated dryly.

"…" Aizen said nothing as he continued to watch Madara devour Toneri's body.

Just as Gin and Kaname were about to get into a little argument, they both stopped as a powerful Reiatsu just suddenly appeared from none other then Madara. They watched as a blue Reiatsu emitted from the Ahjuchas body before he began shrinking in size with his appearance changing.

The Reiatsu around Madara soon disappeared; revealing him to now be standing at 179 centimeters tall with waist-length onyx hair with shoulder-length bangs framing the sides of his masked face, covering most of his right eye; both of which being a cold black, and fairly tan skin showing under his mask. His mask is the same as his previous one, minus the face on the back, but with blue-green markings in the shape of flames over his eyes. His body was relatively the same as his previous one, but with white skin under the skeletal-armored parts, which had blue-green markings on them as well. His Hollow hole is still in the center of his chest, but is smaller then it previously was, about twice the size of a golf ball. Standing right before the three Shinigami was none other then a newly born Vasto Lorde.

Madara looked himself over and couldn't help but smirk at the power he felt. If anyone asked him, he would actually say that he felt even more power then when he was alive, but not as powerful as when he became the Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, not that he's complaining.

"Finally; after so long in this Kami forsaken world, I have finally become a one of its most powerful creatures… a Vasto Lorde. This power is so amazing." Madara commented before turning towards three Reiryoku that were trying to keep themselves hidden. "I don't know who you are, but even you should know that it's very rude to spy on someone without their knowledge."

As if the three had heard him clear as day, the Shinigami Shunpoed right in front of Madara. Said Hollow studied each of them cautiously, because it wasn't like Shinigami, let alone a captain, just appeared in Hueco Mundo. He was on guard as the one in glasses stepped forward with calming smile, yet calculated eyes. Madara knew from one look that this man was the leader.

"Greetings; my name is Sōsuke Aizen and these are my associates, Gin Ichimaru and Kaname Tōsen." Aizen introduced them all to the Vasto Lorde before continuing. "Might I inquire as to what your name is?"

"Madara Uchiha." Madara introduced. "Tell me Aizen, what brings three captain class Shinigami to here to Hueco Mundo and why were you watching me?"

"I apologize for our actions, but we were merely obviously your battle in order to learn which of you were stronger and from the looks of it, that was you." Aizen complimented at the end of his explanation. "Ask for why we're here, we are searching for powerful Hollows to join our cause. We plan to gather an army of Hollows and overthrow the Soul Society."

"Overthrow the Soul Society eh? Interesting cause, but what will an army of Hollows do against the very people who protect that world? I don't mean to butcher whatever plan you have, but even with an army of Hollows, we wouldn't last very long due to the most powerful Shinigami's… the captains." Madara stated, getting a smile from Aizen.

"This is all too true, my friend. That is why I plan to gather at least several Vasto Lorde class Hollows to lead my army into battle." Aizen stated, getting an unseen eyebrow raised by Madara.

"Interesting, but very pointless. Bargaining with Hollows and forming an army with them is hard enough as it is since they will only want to devour each other, but finding several Vasto Lorde will be quite difficult since they are rare to come by." Madara commented before continuing. "Even if you did come across powerful Vasto Lorde's, just how do you plan for this army you wish for them to lead to fight against the Soul Society? Most, if not all, would be killed without much effort."

Aizen smirked at the intelligence this Hollow displayed. Not only is he a warrior, but a very smart strategist in both on and off the battlefield. He needed this Hollow in his army.

"Do not worry yourself about any Vasto Lorde I search for Madara. My army of Hollows is not ready yet and will not be until I gain the means I need in order to, shall we say, evolve them." Aizen explained, obviously getting a raised brow from the Hollow.

"Evolve them you say? How so?" Madara asked, interested in what the man would say.

"Quite simple really. Once I have gained the necessary means to do so, I will use it to give my army of Hollows power greater then that of even a captain class Shinigami. They will be given Shinigami powers and no longer be classed as simple Hollows, but as something more. I classify this new being as Arrancar." Aizen explained before holding his hand out to the Vasto Lorde. "That Madara is why we are here. So tell me, won't you please join me Madara Uchiha and help overthrow the very beings who put you and other Hollows down like dogs. I can give you a home, comrades, and power to do with as you please."

Madara thought on what the man said. He didn't trust him of course, but what he had planned has really captured his interest. He didn't care about the Hollows Aizen gatthered, what happens to those of the Soul Society, or anything else the man was promising. However, his offer of power had garnered Madara's attention. With even more power then what he has now….

"Very well Sōsuke Aizen, I will join you." Madara said simply.

"Excellent, if you will follow us." Aizen said with a smile as he, Gin, and Kaname turned and began walking with Madara following.

Unknown to the three, Madara was smirking darkly under his mask. Aizen might think he has everything under and his manipulated Hollows under his thumb, but he made a grave mistake in choosing Madara Uchiha as one of them and he will soon know this when the time comes.

'I am not your nor anyone else's pawn Aizen. You and I are both kings on opposite sides in a game of chess with similar goals, but in the end, one of us will fall. When the time comes, that one shall be you Sōsuke Aizen.' Madara thought as they walked into the endless white desert.

To Be Continued…

An there is the ninth chapter! Madara is the enemy and you can see things are going to get intense with Aizen and him both in the picture! I apologize to those who like Toneri, but I promise that his death will work for Madara later on in this story when he and Naruto fight it out. Trust me, it will be worth it.

Now, I'm sorry this took so long, but I have dealing with a lot in my house. First, the AC unit broke and it took several weeks for us to finally get a new one. Then, my dad took me and my little brother up to Evergreen for a week, so I didn't exactly have much time to write. I ain't made though, it was fun because I got to shot myself one of his rifles. Next, there was the 4th of July and three days after that my little brothers birthday. It was just one of those average summers, ya know.

Anyway, remember to read and review!
