"So do you believe that you are ready to tame that hollow problem of yours Ichigo?" asked Naruto with a smile as Ichigo stood across from him.
"Of course I am ready! I can do this and nothing is going to stop me!" replied Ichigo with a fire burning in his eyes.
"Good! That's why I decided to have Urahara bring in some friends to help me! You see I never really had to do anything like this so I believe they will be of more help!" exclaimed Naruto as a group of people wearing weird clothes dropped down before Ichigo.
"Greetings Ichigo Kurosaki! My name is Shinji…that is all you need to know for now. Our new friend Naruto here has asked for our assistance in teaching you how to tame that little problem of yours." Stated Shinji with a big smile covering his face.
"How would you know how to fix my problem?" asked Ichigo in confusion.
"Because each of us here have all tamed our Hollows." Offered the man, shocking Ichigo greatly.
"Well it seems you have everything you need! So I'm going to train the others to attain Bankai! Auf Wiedersehen Ichigo!" yelled Naruto as he disappeared.
"Where the hell do you think your going!" yelled Ichigo as he suddenly dodged under a sword slash by a short blonde in a red track suit.
"Better be more worried about yourself Strawberry. Cause this is going to get rough!" said the girl as she pulled on a Hollow mask and proceeded to kick the crap out of Ichigo.

"So my little students! Are all of you ready for the training regime that I will be putting you through for the next three months?" asked Naruto as he stared at the group of humans and Shinigami before him.
They consisted of Rangiku of 10th Division, Ikkaku of the 12th Division, Rukia Kuchiki, and Renji. The humans were Uryuu, Orihime, Tatsuki, and Chad all dressed and ready to go for their training.
"Of course we are Naruto! I've been waiting to start for like days now!" exclaimed Tatsuki with irritation as all the others nodded.
"Well since you are all ready to begin training then I guess it is only natural that we start off with a survival exercise to warm the muscles ups!" exclaimed Naruto with joy as the others got sweat drops on their faces.
"What do you mean survival exercise! You are supposed to make us stronger!" exclaimed Ikkaku as he glared at Naruto…who just smiled before disappearing and reappearing in front of Ikkaku.
"Oh you will get stronger…but by surviving against me for THREE DAYS!" yelled Naruto as he slammed his fist into Ikkaku. Ikkaku cried out in pain as he went flying across the training ground.
"For the next three days I will be your opponent. Come at me with the intent to kill or you will regret it, for I will not pull my punches!" Yelled Naruto as he charged at a surprised Chad.
The large boy could do nothing as Naruto struck him hard in the gut and threw him thirty feet into a boulder. This effectively had the effect of getting the others into action as Rangiku flew at Naruto with her sword drawn.
Naruto lazily leaned back to avoid the blow and pushed the sword away before elbowing her shoulder causing it to crack from the pressure. As she cried out in pain Naruto had to jump back to avoid a clawed strike from his girlfriend.
"What the hell Naruto! Was that really needed!" yelled Tatsuki as she kept launching attacks at Naruto as the others just watched.
Immediately he caught both her wrists and gave her a sad look. "If you all do not get stronger than this war will be lost." Whispered Naruto as he gave a Tatsuki a round house kick to her ribs.
Naruto then jumped high into the air to avoid spirit arrows shot by Uryuu as Rukia charged at him with her sword drawn. Naruto easily ducked under the arrows and evaded Rukia's sword blows.
As his attention was focused on the two before him, he never noticed Chad coming up with his fist full of energy. Rukia did however and jumped back as Naruto turned to look at fist glowing with energy.
Chad's punched connected with Naruto's body causing a massive explosion that made many of the members of the group shield their eyes. Orihime had also finished healing both Rangiku and Ikkaku as the blast faded.
As the smoke faded the group all gasped in surprise as they saw Naruto appear out of the smoke with almost no damage at all on his body. "You will have to do better than that." Stated Naruto.
It was at that statement that all of the people before him all shared a look at each other and nodded at some unspoken statement. Immediately they all charged the smirking blonde, sending their best attacks at him.

TWO DAYS LATER
"I thought you were supposed to be watching over those trainees of yours?" asked Shinji as Naruto and him watched the battle currently taking place between Ichigo and one of Shinji's visored.
"I am…right now a clone is putting them through the ringer. I had my doubts about doing something like this at first, but I can already see the results. They are acting a like a team and have nearly defeated the clone. So I see Ichigo has managed to suppress his Hollow." Said Naruto as Ichigo started to use his mask.
The mask alone allowed Ichigo to put Love on the defensive, but that didn't last long as Ichigo's mask broke right after 11 seconds.
"He has subjected his Hollow, but he is afraid of using its power. It happened to all of us, but once he realizes that there is no danger he will only continue to improve." Said Shinji as Naruto nodded.
"Well I think it is my turn to up against him now!" exclaimed Naruto as he stood up and drew his sword.
"Already bringing out your sword?" asked a Kensai as he joined them. Kensai was a silver haired man that was quite serious most of the time, but seemed to care deeply about his fellow visored.
"Well I had my sword out when I fought you! What makes this any different?" asked Naruto.
"The boy hasn't mastered his Hollow yet. That should be all that is needed." Stated Kensai as he remembered his match against Naruto. He had to use Bankai and his mask, but that only pushed Naruto into releasing his Shikai. Apparently the blonde had more than enough power to defeat everyone of them.
"That's why I'm going to fight him!" yelled Naruto as he disappeared only to reappear above Ichigo and slam him into the ground.
"What the hell Naruto!" yelled Ichigo as he stood up and glared at the grinning blonde.
"Ichigo…if you want to live I suggest you draw as much power as you can from that mask of yours." Stated Naruto with a grin on his face.
"What do you me…" Ichigo tried to respond before he was forced to block a slash from Naruto.
"COME ON ICHIGO! REMOVE YOUR LIMITATIONS AND FIGHT ME!" yelled Naruto as he continually attacked Ichigo.
Despite being in Bankai Ichigo found that Naruto was just as, if not more, powerful than him in his Bankai. In fact he would need a little help from his hollow…just a little.
So Ichigo drew on his mask and fired a Getsuga Tensho directly into the face of a grinning Naruto. The red Getsuga connected with Naruto in an impressive display of power as Ichigo stared at the explosion.
Just then he ducked under an attack delivered by Naruto and retaliated with a counter that Naruto was just able to block. They remained in a power struggle for an instant before Ichigo pushed Naruto away started to unleash a maelstrom of attacks at the blonde.
It was then that Ichigo was able to break through Naruto's guard! Ichigo powered up his Getsuga and Naruto watched as the black blade powered with energy flew towards his exposed chest. Only for Ichigo's mask to dissipate at that exact moment, killing the technique with it.
"Tough luck kid." Chuckled Naruto as he delivered a haymaker to the stunned Ichigo.
Ichigo flipped up in time to block a strike by Naruto's sword that had enough power in the attack to send Ichigo flying into a boulder not to far away in an impressive show of force.
"Come on Ichigo! Is this all the resolve that you have to protect your friends? Use that power you now have! It is yours to control! Let it flow through your body and attack your foes!" yelled Naruto as charged at Ichigo who had his eyes closed.
'He is right…if I want to protect my friends than my hollow is the only chance I have! I will not fail!' thought Ichigo as he pulled his mask down once again and met Naruto's strike with one of his own.
"Impressive, but don't think this is over yet! I have yet to release my Shikai or my Resurreccion." Said Naruto as a new blade formed in his hand as his other Zanpakuto disappeared. It wasn't long, only about a foot in length, but was black as night in color.
"Now lets se how you fair against an Arrancar release!" said Naruto as his new blade began to glow a bright orange.
"Roar…Kurama!" yelled Naruto as his entire body exploded in a show of power. When the release faded a new Naruto stood in the place of the old one, but gone were the blue eyes that Naruto normally carried.
Peering through the smoke were the eyes of a hollow staring through the mask of a fox. His chest was exposed revealing a very cut body. His arms were covered in white armor, while his back seemed to be covered with orange fox hair that was close to a foot long. However the tails were the biggest surprise. They weren't normal tails, but were instead bone like blades that seemed to be too long for the body to even support.
"By the time I am done with you Ichigo…you will know the true to terror of being outclassed in every way." Stated Naruto as he went on all fours and more bone armor sprouted out causing him to seem more sleek.
"Bring it on!" yelled Ichigo as he adopted his mask once more and charged the blonde.
That strategy didn't seem to work well as Naruto disappeared from his vision for a brief second before he felt a massive amount of force collide with his back sending him crashing to the ground.
Ichigo spun in mid air and planted his feet on the ground before launching a massive Getsuga Tensho at Naruto! The blasted seemed to connect directly with Naruto and if one could see Ichigo's mouth they would see him smirking.
"You actually believe that would hit me?" came a voice from Ichigo's side before he was smashed into the ground. He didn't get a chance to get back up as Naruto grabbed him and threw him into the air.
"You have yet to see anything Ichigo!" cried Naruto as he appeared before Ichigo's rising body and slammed his leg into Ichigo sending him towards the ground.
"My Bankai is perhaps stronger than this form!" said Naruto as he appeared before Ichigo again and delivered a haymaker to his face sending him skipping across the ground.
"Then there is my final release!" shouted Naruto as he grabbed Ichigo by the neck and held him up.
"Do you yield to this monster?" yelled Naruto as he squeezed Ichigo's neck even more as the Visored tried his hardest to remove Naruto's hand from his neck.
"Will you surrender and let me kill all those that you love and wish to protect!" Yelled Naruto as he loosened his grip a bit.
"I will never yield." Ichigo managed to gurgle out as Naruto slammed his fist into Ichigo's gut causing him to cough out blood.
"This isn't a game Ichigo! If you continue to fight then you will die! Why continue when you can just let it all go?" asked Naruto as he slammed his fist into Ichigo's stomach again.
"They are my friends and I will gladly give my life for every single one of them!" yelled Ichigo as his sword appeared in his hands and he launched a massive Getsuga Tensho at Naruto from point blank range.
The Getsuga was easily twice as large as anyone he had ever fired in the past and Naruto was surprised that Ichigo had that much energy to spare. As the black Getsuga consumed his body he smiled in pride as Ichigo's resolve managed to become the strongest weapon in his arsenal.
"I will never surrender." Muttered Ichigo as his mask broke away and he collapsed in exhaustion.
"Well that was interesting." Muttered Shinji as he watched Naruto appear above Ichigo's body. "Your release is indeed powerful…it seems to even put our Bankai to shame even when our masks are released."
Naruto turned and looked at Shinji before his release faded away and he returned back to normal. "Aye! My Hollow release is more powerful than my Shinigami release due to me originally being a hollow.
"I guess that does make sense…so why did you attack him like that? It seemed that you had little to no restraint when you attacked him?" asked Shinji.
"When I use my hollow release it sort of forces me to adopt a more blood thirsty persona. I just wanted to see how far he would go to protect his friends and he passed. Although I probably did take it a little too far." Said Naruto with a laugh at the end.
"Well I better get going! I believe they are about to destroy my clone earlier than I expected!" said Naruto as he disappeared.
"Jeeze and if I remember he said something about a release that combines the two…interesting." Stated Shinji as he walked over to the beaten up Ichigo.

"Tailed Beast Ball!" Yelled Tatsuki as she launched a condensed ball of purple energy at the falling Naruto.
"Haineko! Dash!" yelled Rangiku as he fired a condensed beam of ash from her Zanpakuto at Naruto.
"Hikotsu Taiho!" yelled Renji as his Bankai fired a beam of red energy at Naruto.
"Koten Zanshun! I reject!" yelled Orihime as her attack flew at Naruto.
Naruto looked up at the four attacks and cursed that Rukia, Ikkaku, Chad, and Uryu had all been able to open him up like this.
"The boss is going to be pissed that I lost this quickly." He stated as the attacks hit him at the same time in a massive explosion.
The 8 remaining fighters all remained at the ready waiting to see if they had finally defeated the blonde after two days of straight fighting against him. They were lucky though that they had Orihime healing them otherwise it would've been over long ago.
Their blonde friend hadn't pulled any of his punches in the past two days. Many of them had received broken bones and deep cuts, but they kept fighting knowing that they would have to fight tougher opponents in the future.
Still they fought on using each other's strengths to the best of their abilities and they had finally been able to turn the tide with that last attack. There was no way he would be able to take on the combined attack from all of their strongest attacks.
As the smoke cleared they all looked on in all as nothing remained of where Naruto had been before. "Did we vaporize him?" asked Ikkaku in confusion.
"Bravo! I'm impressed that you were able to defeat a clone of mine in just two days alone!" said Naruto as he appeared above them in the sky.
"That was just a clone of his!" cried Tatsuki in awe.
"Yep! Did you know I can make over a thousand of them!" retorted Naruto with a smile as all the people he was fighting started to sweat nervously.
"Bring it on!" shouted Ikkaku as he charged at Naruto.
"Oh I will!" said Naruto as he clashed with Ikkaku's Shikai before pushing him away. "You have all gotten much stronger these past two days! Now for the next part you have a month to defeat a reinforced clone in one on one battle! After you finish you will receive personalized training from another clone.
"But we couldn't even scratch you alone! How are we even supposed to last a month without Orihime's healing!" cried Uryuu in shock.
"Well the rules are going to change! You will fight for 14 hours and the other times will be for eating, healing, and rest. So with that I leave you all to my clones! I myself am going to meet with the big man!" said Naruto as he made a large group of clones and disappeared.

"Are you sure this Aizen will be taken care of?" came soft, but gentle voice. The owner of the voice revealed itself to be a beautiful girl looking to be in her late teens with long white hair and large gray eyes.
"I will give my life for you Kami! He will be stopped no matter what! I promise you that on my soul for I am Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and as your Champion I will never fail you!" declared Naruto as the being now known as Kami smiled at him.
"Be careful my knight! My brother has been quiet for far too long. There is no telling what he has planned for this Aizen." Stated Kami as Naruto smiled at her.
"I don't take chances. You have given me a chance at redemption and I plan on taking it. As the Forsaken child I will save this kingdom from all that threaten it." Said Naruto as he bowed at her feet before standing and exiting through a gate.
"You have suffered too much Naruto. What happened in the past was out of your control…I have long since forgiven you for those deeds. Now only you need to forgive yourself." Whispered Kami as she broke apart into a mass of glittering dust.
If one could've looked hard enough they would've seen a single tear run down Kami's face before she broke apart.

What is redemption that Naruto talks about? What did he do in the past that made it so that he could never forgive himself, even when Kami herself has forgiven him?
Who is the mysterious brother of Kami that is helping Aizen in the coming war? Does Naruto have more to worry about than we all believed?
Perhaps you may find out next chapter…but Probably not!

Well sorry for the extremely long wait on this chapter and about how short it is! However, I do believe that you all have enjoyed it! Next chapter will begin the war and set about the chapters that will lead to the end of this story.
