Hey everyone, joshnaruto here.

This is my new story 'Naruto Namikaze: Human-Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid' before anyone asks I am not abandoning my other stories, merely taking a break. Hopefully this story will spark some inspiration for those stories, but we'll see where this goes first.

What is this story you may ask? This is Naruto Xover with Bleach and later on Buffy The Vampire Slayer. I know some may be put off by the Buffy The Vampire Slayer part but its staying that way. The Buffyverse, so to speak, will be in this later on though and will eventually become important, for such things as the 'Hellmouth'.

When does it take place? Naruto is Hokage; naturally, he is very powerful but not god-like. I won't ruin it but I will say this, Naruto goes to Soul Society in this chapter. My reason for that is because having Naruto stay in his world is simply stupid. To shinobi he is basically a god among men. But to Shinigami, he is just someone who's as powerful as them. When Naruto does go to Soul Society, the time line will be when Kisuke Urahara, Yoruichi Shihōin and the Visoreds are Captains and Lieutenants. So Aizen is still a Lieutenant himself.

At the beginning of every chapter I was thinking of listing the terms that are being used in the chapter, e.g. techniques, jutsu, Zanpakuto, Kidō and basically terminology. But, I thought I'd let you decide on that so do you want the terms listed every chapter or not?

If anyone has any questions or queries then send me a review and it will be posted on the next chapter and answered. I hope you guys like this story, I have a fairly good idea of what to do with it but depending on reviews it may change.

Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto, Bleach or Buffy The Vampire Slayer, nor do I own any techniques etc. from any other show, anime, games or Bleach Fan Fiction Wiki. I will give credit to those who I have used stuff from on that site and if there's any problems then ask.

So, for now that's all and here you go…

Naruto Namikaze: Human-Shinigami-Hollow Hybrid

Chapter 1: The End of Naruto's Life

Konoha

Naruto Namikaze, age 23 and now the Rokudaime Hokage, also the son of Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki as well as the Jinchuriki of the Kyuubi no Yoko, sighed as he looked down on his village Konoha as it burned to the ground from black fire that seemed to have spread all over before he could even do anything to stop it. All of his friends were dead, murdered by the organization Akatsuki. One by one they had fallen facing the group of S-class missing-nin. Shinobi littered the once peaceful streets. Blood covered everywhere and the sky seemed to have taken on the colour of blood as if the heavens were bleeding also.

Naruto sighed as he stood up from the crouch he was in on the Hokage Monument. He now stood at the full height of 6'3, his blond hair had gotten longer reaching down to his shoulders, two tuffs of hair on either side of his face and a fringe that covered his headband, slightly hiding the Konoha's leaf insignia etched on to it. His eyes were still there bright blue only now they had a slight slit in the pupil. His whisker marks had faded slightly from when he had absorbed the Kyuubi's power as his own which allowed him to access more powers to his Zanpakuto.

His normal attire was a standard Konoha-nin uniform and a flak jacket with two bands each on both of his sleeves; after becoming Hokage, he also wore a short-sleeve long crimson coat with black flames at the bottom almost identical to his father's look. On the back of it was the kanji for 'Rokudaime Hokage'. Around his neck was the necklace he had received from Tsunade Senju, a beautiful turquoise Kesshōseki (Crystal Gem) and was once worn by the First Hokage. Were one to sell it, three mountains could be bought with the profits.

Beside him was his Zanpakuto, Zangetsu. Zangetsu took the form of a regular katana, with a simple cross guard, with a simple circular frame; the sword was actually of a fairly standard design, with no really unique features. It had a black handle with the golden kanji symbol Tsuki (月), which translated to 'moon' in the centre surrounded by leather wrapping on the top and bottom of the handle. The sheath was also fairly simple, the standard black colour, adorned with one metal band at the opening, and two more, each a little ways from each end. The tip was also capped in ornate metal.

Over the years Zangetsu taught him the multiple arts of the Shinigami, Kidō, Hakuda, Hohō and Zanjutsu, the four arts of all Shinigami in existence.

Kidō was a type of sorcery used by Shinigami. They could be used for various purposes, such as healing, attacking, and restraining. Healing seemed to be a more general skill, while attacking and binding sometimes required an incantation to be recited beforehand. Incantations could make the spell stronger, but it wasn't always needed depending on the user. Demon arts spells were divided into two major groups: Hadō (Way of Destruction) used for direct attack, and Bakudō (Way of Binding) which were spells that restrained someone or have other effects.

Hakuda was simply hand-to-hand combat, very much like Taijutsu so it wasn't hard to get used to this form of art since it was in his blood…and soul. Zangetsu had explained to him that Hakuda wasn't a very essential art upon the Shinigami and only certain people learnt it. However he had learnt over the years that you would meet various enemies so it was good to be versatile.

Hohō (agility), like hand-to-hand combat, was not elaborated upon by every Shinigami. Shunpo (Flash steps), a movement technique that allowed the user to move faster than the eye can follow, was implied to be part of this category, and most, though not all Shinigami were able to perform it to some degree. Another skill, though not necessarily related, was the ability of some Shinigami to walk on air using spiritual power. By collecting and solidifying Reishi (Spirit Particles) beneath their feet, Shinigami could gain traction on thin air to either freely move about or to stop themselves from falling.

Zanjutsu (swordsmanship) was the most used form of combat among Shinigami, since their Zanpakuto was the most effective way of dispatching any given opponent. As the name suggested, it involved using a Zanpakuto and its various special abilities to attack an opponent. In addition to its basic form, each Zanpakuto had two enhanced forms; Shikai (initial release) and Bankai (final release), which changed the sword's form to unlock its potential and that of its user.

Luckily, he had learnt Zangetsu's Shikai and Bankai as well as various techniques that were all powerful in their own right. Shikai wasn't too hard as all it took was for him to get to know Zangetsu better and form a stronger bond. Bankai, which he had been told usually took Shinigami decades to access, had been harder to achieve having to fight Zangetsu himself and go through multiple challenges, but because of who he was, it didn't take long to achieve it. Though it took long to master it.

He'd admit that learning everything he had to from Zangetsu was no walk in the park. If it was possible he would have died multiple times over throughout it all. When he had absorbed the Kyuubi's power he had become something that Zangetsu referred to as Visored, Masked Army. This led to him gaining two different forms, a mask which he would summon by placing his hand over his face and making a ripping motion bringing his mask out. His other form was when he uttered a release command which would transform him into what Zangetsu referred as a complete Hollow form. The downside to this was that before he could be granted the release command, he had to confront another part of his soul which was better known as an Inner Hollow.

Naruto had to fight his inner hollow which was unbelievably strong, so strong that he had to pull out all of his power and every trick he had up his sleeve, only for it to come up with a draw. Naruto had to admit, at that time he had been disappointed in himself, and yet he couldn't even defeat something that was inside of him and take control of his power again.

That was what he thought until his inner hollow came up with a suggestion.

Flashback

"WHAT?" Naruto yelled out in shock at his persona's suggestion.

The persona in question was Naruto's Inner Hollow which was the exact opposite of him except he had pure white skin, yellow eyes with a small black pupil and midnight black sclera with white snow hair and a cocky smirk plastered on his face.

Inner Naruto chuckled and placed his Zanpakuto in his scabbard. "I said…why don't we merge with each other instead of trying to fight for dominance? Let's face it, we're evenly matched, you certainly have had too much experience with someone trying to corrupt you or give up. Fighting for dominance all the time will clearly not allow us to get anywhere, so I say why not merge? We are both extremely strong; we will achieve a form unlike any other." He spoke with glee, truly excited about such a thing happening.

Naruto thought about it for a second and knew he was right but needed to know something first. "Form? What kind of form?" he asked with a raised brow.

"Well, you can already use the hollow mask can't you?" Inner Naruto asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes...what does that have to do with anything?" Naruto asked with a raised brow.

Inner Naruto chuckled lightly. "That is the first form; I guess you can say, the second form is like Shikai going to Bankai. When we merge you will not change your appearance whatsoever so you will look like how you do now, you will be able to fully control your mask when you have placed it on, but you will receive a second form, I don't know what form it will be but it will be extremely powerful."

Naruto eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Say i get this form...how do i achieve it? And furthermore, what do you get out of it?"

Inner Naruto chuckled once more. "You will have to utter a release command in order to transform into the new form. With it you will be granted immense strength beyond what your Bankai is capable of, as well as your speed. I don't know what you will look like but it will be humanoid so don't worry about become some monster, well not a complete monster anyway."

Naruto started to think about, while everything that was being told to him sounded amazing, it begged the question, could he really trust this...persona of himself? Would he become evil? But that was the funny thing; he couldn't really sense evil from the hollow version of himself, more like a want...want for freedom.

Looking at the being he asked. "I take it that you will also be able to feel what I feel and so on?" He asked the creature.

Inner Naruto chuckled. "Technically, I won't be real anymore, if I had to guess, I would say that I would become like a second voice in your head. So I will, in a way, be fighting with you, like partners. I would also be able to teach you hollow attacks, like the Cero and such." He said since he had explained everything to do with hollows from the Shinigami-verse.

Naruto thought about it for a second and had to admit to himself, this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, he would be able to protect his loved ones much easier now. "Very well, how do we do this then?" He asked.

Inner Naruto smirked and started to disintegrate from his feet. "Simple, i will just become one with you." He spoke as his body turned into pure white Reiatsu which swirled around for a second before shooting at Naruto causing an explosion.

As the smoke settled, what looked like white skin was cracking all over Naruto before it all broke and disintegrated into nothing. Naruto gasped getting his breath back from the rush of power he had felt a second ago, and if he admitted it, it felt more powerful than his Bankai ever had; he could truly see the potential for such strength.

'With this new found power, I will finally be able to protect all that i hold dear...I only hope that my friends can accept what I am...' He thought as he sighed mentally and physically at the last thought.

Flashback End

And they had been ok with what power he had gained, hell the fact that they were fine with the Kyuubi being sealed within him should have hinted to him that they were ok with him having some strange new power and form to access.

With all of this training he had become one of the most powerful shinobi to exist, but he didn't even know if that was the correct term. Unfortunately he wasn't the only one who gained a Zanpakuto. Sasuke Uchiha had also gained one, one he used to kill everyone he knew. How he had gained a Zanpakuto Naruto didn't understand. Now it was his goal, no, it was his fate to face Sasuke Uchiha, the man he once thought of as his brother. It was now or never, he had to kill Sasuke Uchiha, and he didn't care what happened to him anymore, he honestly had nothing to live for.

Sighing once more he was about to jump off of the Hokage Monument when a bright light came from behind him. Turning around he watched as an old traditional Japanese style sliding doors appeared out of no-where and opened. Once it fully opened 13 people stepped through, all looking like the Shinigami he had been told of by Zangetsu. Zangetsu, with being officially from the Soul Society world had learnt everything of the Taicho's and had then told him the information.

The first one, in the centre of the line, had the appearance of an old man with red eyes a very long white beard, and long eyebrows. There were many scars on his torso and head, the two most prominent being a pair of long, perpendicular scars above his right eye, suggesting numerous battles in his past. He wore the standard Shinigami uniform, but its size was greatly exaggerated. He also draped his haori over his back instead of actually wearing it. Despite his old and frail appearance, he had a very muscular body that he only revealed when he took a certain battle stance; something Shunsui claims was not seen too often. This man was Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto, the Taicho of the Ichibantai in the Gotei 13 and also the Sōtaichō of the whole Gotei 13.

Beside him was a beautiful dark-skinned woman with golden-coloured eyes and short purple hair, she wore the same sleeveless and backless Onmitsukidō uniform, with long black wrist guards that reached her elbow with a black ribbon tied around her neck. She also wore a long-sleeved Taicho's haori. This was Yoruichi Shihōin, the Taicho of the Nibantai of the Gotei 13, as well as the commander of the Onmitsukidō.

Beside her was a man that had purple eyes, his hair was straight with a small black ribbon tied near the end and a perpetually bored expression. He wore the standard Shinigami robes and a sleeveless Taicho's haori, but with a frilled collared shirt under it. This was Rōjūrō Ōtoribashi, more commonly referred to as Rose, Taicho of the Sanbantai.

Next to him was another woman who had the appearance of a very youthful woman with blue eyes and black hair. She wore the standard Shinigami Taicho uniform apart from using an obi instead of the normal sash. Her hair was long and worn as a large braid in front. She was Retsu Unohana the Taicho of the Yonbantai in the Gotei 13. She was one of the oldest and most experienced Taicho's, and was the Soul Society's best healer.

Next to her was a man who had very long blonde hair reaching down to the lower part of his back. He wore the standard Shinigami robes with a standard Taicho's haori. This was Shinji Hirako the Taicho of the Gobantai in the Gotei 13.

The second to last of the line had the appearance of an elderly man with slate grey eyes, a grey moustache, and long grey hair. He wore the standard Taicho uniform along with a white scarf made by the master weaver, Tsujishirō Kuroemon III. The scarf was made from the silver-white, windflower light silk (ginpaku kazahana no uzuginu) and was a family heirloom that was handed down from generation to generation and was given to each Kuchiki family head. The scarf alone was worth enough to buy ten mansions in Seireitei. He wore a short-sleeved Taicho's haori and fingerless black gloves that covered the back of his hand and looped up to attach at the base of his fingers. This man was Ginrei Kuchiki; he was the Taicho of the Rokubantai and the Head of the Kuchiki family.

The last of the line was a man with his hair in a classic, rounded afro style with long sideburns. He wore a standard Shinigami uniform with a sleeveless Taicho's haori and a pair of dark-lensed sunglasses. This was Love Aikawa, Taicho of the Nanabantai.

On the other side of the Sōtaichō is Shunsui Kyōraku, a tall Shinigami with grey eyes and long wavy brown hair. His hair was tied in a long ponytail and had long bangs that framed the left side of his face. He wore a straw hat (called a sakkat) and a pink, flowered ladies kimono, which he draped across his shoulders and over his Taicho's uniform. He had thin facial hair around his mouth and on his cheeks. Although his haori and obi sash were cheap, his pin-wheel hairpins were very expensive. Shunsui Kyōraku was the Taicho of the Hachibantai in the Gotei 13

Beside him was a tall, muscular man with sharp features, short light-grey/silver hair and brown eyes. He had a tattoo of the number "69" on his chest; the "6" represented his last name, "Muguruma," which used the kanji for "6" in it, while the "9" represents the 9th Division, He wore a sleeveless Shihakushō that was open on the front, exposing his chest and tattoo, and tied it with a rope belt. He also wore a sleeveless haori and a pair of fingerless black gloves that covered most of his forearms. This was Kensei Muguruma the Taicho of the Kyūbantai in the Gotei 13.

Next to him was a big man with a dark complexion and dark hair and eyes. He also has two spiked piercings below his lips and a very rough appearance inclusive of chipped fingernails as well as facial and body hair. This was Kenpachi Kiganjō the 10th Kenpachi, the Taicho of the Jūichibantai.

Beside him was a tall light-skinned man with messy, light-blond coloured (almost pale) hair and grey eyes, he wore the standard Shinigami uniform, the long-sleeved Taicho's haori, and his geta during his more casual events. This was Kisuke Urahara the Taicho of the Jūnibantai.

Last on the line was a tall man with a somewhat emaciated appearance, caused by an illness which occasionally caused him to cough up blood. Currently his white hair was worn long, almost reaching his waist. He wore it parted on the left side with one long piece that tends to fell over his right eye. He had green eyes. He wore the common Shinigami uniform with a long sleeved Taicho's haori, and a crimson lining. He wore a narrow white obi, in which he secured his Zanpakutō. This was Jūshirō Ukitake the Taicho of the Jūsanbantai in the Gotei 13.

All Taicho's looked around the devastation with shocked and sorrowful looks at what could happen to a civilization. They had been told of what had happened to this place, never before had they been able to reach a world such as the Elemental Countries, butt the Spirit King had told them that they had to go to this world because there was an important person there, a person called Naruto Namikaze.

When they asked about him, the Spirit King had told them everything about him, all of his life, his burdens, challenges, pain, and betrayals in his life. They never thought that one person could go through so much in just one young life. The Soul King had also told them of what had recently happened, a man called Sasuke Uchiha had destroyed and killed everyone in his own village that had betrayed him years before all of the current events had happened, all for the sake of revenge. Naruto Namikaze was the sole survivor.

"So this is the Elemental Countries huh?" Yoruichi said as she admired the view of the trees and mountains all around.

"Hurry up admiring the view Yoruichi-san; we have some work to do." Kisuke said with a chuckle at seeing his friends' eyes wide and excited at being in a new world.

"It looks similar to Soul Society." Rose mused with a bored look.

Yamamoto stepped forward with his large cane banging against the ground. "You must be Naruto Namikaze." He said in a professional tone.

Naruto gave a nod. "You guys must be the Taicho's of Soul Society." Naruto said with a hollow chuckle as he turned back to his burning village.

"So you do know about us." Kisuke said as if it proved everything the Spirit King had told them, especially about a Human wielding a Zanpakuto.

"Yes, Zangetsu told me everything." Naruto as he grasped Zangetsu which was still in the ground.

"We are here to bring you back with us, to be a Shinigami." Yamamoto said.

Naruto however shook his head. "I'm not leaving this world yet, not until I finish what I'm meant to do here." Naruto said with a sigh as he pulled his Zanpakuto from the ground.

"And what's that?" Yoruichi asked with a raised eyebrow while resting a hand on her waist, curiously checking him out.

"To kill the man I once thought of as a brother." Naruto said in such a cold voice that some of the Taicho's actually shivered.

"And what if you die? If that happens we won't be able to take you back with us." Rose said with a frown.

"I honestly don't care." Naruto said as he gazed down to the village he once led. "Everything I loved, cared for, cherished…and lived for is gone, forever, I have nothing left to live for. Except for killing the man who caused all of this, a taint such as him should never walk free." He said making the Taicho's realise that the man in front of them really didn't care if he lived or even became a Shinigami.

"Revenge isn't the way to go." Ginrei said with a sigh.

"This isn't revenge, its justice, what would any of you do huh? If the person who destroyed your entire life, ripped everything you ever loved away, would you simply let him go, to walk through, cause more chaos wherever he goes? If so, then the Spirit King should never have sent you people." Naruto said before vanishing in a crimson flash.

All the Taicho's were startled when he simply vanished in such a way. Looking down to the village they watched as Naruto appeared in the village walking through the fires. "What was that he did?" Shinji asked with raised eyebrows.

"I believe it was one of those jutsu's that these shinobi know." Love said.

"Either way, it was very similar to our Shunpo." Kisuke said with a chuckle.

"No." Yamamoto said making the Taicho's look at him. "It was much faster than that. He instantly travelled to another place using a tracker of sorts. If he had those trackers all over this world, he would appear there instantly." He said with an appraising eye that someone so young could use something like that.

"Should we follow him?" Shunsui asked with a tip of his hat.

"We'll follow; we need to make sure he survives." Yamamoto said. He knew Naruto Namikaze would one day become one of the, if not the strongest Shinigami to have ever lived. All the young man needed was training in the Soul Society to be able to grow into his powers more.

Down below in the village, Naruto had made it to the person he wanted to say goodbye to for one last time because he knew he would either live and go to Soul Society or die for good. Bending at the person he let a tear drop from his eyes. "I'm sorry Sakura-chan." He said as he stroked the pink haired girl's hair softly, lovingly. Naruto still couldn't believe what had happened between the two teammates, after the Kage Meeting years ago, they had eventually opened up to each other romantically after realising that they may not have all the time in the world that they actually wanted. With a war coming up they decided that they had to treasure everything they had with each other. Eventually the two fell in love with each other after the war ended, after he had killed Madara Uchiha, with only Sasuke Uchiha as the last remaining person in anyone's way. It was also the same time Naruto was appointed Hokage. The funny thing however was that it wasn't the two of them most of the time. Because of Naruto being the last of his clan, he had to pick more than one woman to bring his clan back. After speaking it over, Sakura she had told him it was ok as long as he treated them equally. No-matter what people may say, she loved him and trusted him more than anything. However it was a shock when it was Ino who had asked Naruto if she could be his second girlfriend and possible wife in the future. Sakura had agreed with it now that the two young women had made up from the Sasuke fiasco. Never in a million years would Naruto have predicted he would have a threesome with both Sakura and Ino, never mind just one of them. And now it was all destroyed in a matter of minutes by their old teammate. "I never meant for any of this to happen. I should've realised the type of person he was years ago instead of thinking I could save him. This is my entire fault." He said with a sigh. Leaning down he placed a lingering kiss on her forehead. "I'll end it here; no-one will suffer ever again. I promise." He said as he reached down to her hand where an engagement ring was, the one he had given her not long ago. Slipping it off her finger he placed it on his own finger and stood up. He sighed as he glanced in the direction of the Valley of the End. 'To where it all began.'

All the Taicho's that had been watching, watched in surprise as Naruto vanished as if he was never there. "Shunpo, he really can use the Shinigami arts." Jūshirō said in awe.

"So let's follow him." Yoruichi said with a grin wanting to see the handsome blonde man fight and see what he's capable of.

At once all Taicho's left their spots to trail after the blonde Human-Shinigami.

Valley of the End

Naruto soon appeared at the Valley of the End on the head of Hashirama Senju, the very same place he last fought Sasuke Uchiha to bring him back home, just the first of all his futile attempts. Just that thought made him realise that it was his biggest regret, if he had aimed his Rasengan better, he would have finished Sasuke off at that time, but instead he powered it down and scratched the Uchiha's headband in the hopes that Sasuke would be able to be reached. Now, that mistake would haunt him till the day he died.

It was all going to change today. Sasuke wouldn't leave the valley alive if he had anything to say about it.

Across from him stood the person of his thoughts. Sasuke Uchiha hadn't changed much over time, his hair was still black with a blue-tint to it, onyx-coloured eyes, and light coloured skin. He was noticeably more muscular than he was when Naruto last seen him. He was wearing a white long-sleeved shirt which was open at the torso, with a smaller version of the Uchiha crest on his collar, and blue trim around the edges, and a lightning bolt design covering it. He wore black pants with a white cloth hanging from halfway up his stomach to his knees. He also wore a purple rope around his waist, tied in a bow. He lastly wore, what appeared to be, samurai-like armour on his sleeves, shoulders, and legs.

In the purple rope was his own Zanpakuto, it looked like a regular katana. The tsuba was in a tear-drop shape, with the base of the drop arcing over the top of the blade, and the point of the drop pointing below the cutting edge. A row of several tiny holes decorated the bottom of the curve, and a small ring, maybe 2" in diameter, dangled off the tip of the tear-drop. Its hilt was crimson as was its sheathe.

"So you came after all?" Sasuke asked with an evil smirk.

"You burnt everything I ever loved to the ground; did you really think I wouldn't come?" Naruto asked rhetorically while trying to keep his anger in check.

Not far away, the Taicho's appeared to witness the fight between these two shinobi. "How do you think this will play out?" Kisuke asked the group.

"I don't know, but I can feel their energy from here. They are definitely Taicho level." Kensei said with a grim look. He had a feeling that this battle was going to be dangerous.

"Be careful, we don't know what they're capable of." Retsu said with a frown knowing that Naruto was willing to die if it meant the Uchiha did as well.

With Naruto and Sasuke

"I will finish this here and now. You won't live to hurt anyone else." Naruto said as he crouched down slightly.

"You can try Naruto, but you've never defeated me before, what makes you think you can now?"

Naruto just laughed a laugh that sent Sasuke and the Taicho's on edge. It was so hollow; it actually sent chills up their spine. "All those other times, I had friends, family, a home to lose, I had to live to go back to all that. To the women I loved." He sighed at the mention of Sakura and Ino. "But now, you got rid of all that, you erased any hope of having a future here. Therefore I can fight you with no restraint, because no matter what friends I may have in Kumo, Suna, Kiri or even Iwa. It doesn't fill the gap that's been ripped out of my heart and soul, so you better be ready, because this time, I will show you what I'm truly capable of." No sooner than after he finished, he had vanished and re-appeared in front of Sasuke.

Bringing his left foot up, he kicked Sasuke in the jaw sending him flying into a cliff side. Following after, he soared across the area, flying through the air courtesy of his Shinigami powers. As he got close to the hole in the wall however, he watched as two red lights peered from the smoke that was caused from the crash. 'Sharingan.' He thought.

"Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) A large fireball, bigger than the average thing, was blown from the wall heading straight for him at great speed. Stopping in mid-air, he flashed through hand seals at high speed. "Suiton: Suijinheki!" (Water Release: Water Encampment Wall) Water materialized around Naruto forming a strong, dense wall as the fireball struck but only managed to cause steam to rise from the collision. "Suiton: Suiryūdan no Jutsu!" (Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique) The water wall spun around Naruto as it changed shape into a large dragon and fired at where Sasuke was.

Unfortunately Sasuke moved fast and appeared in front of him at the same time as the dragon struck the wall. Sasuke grabbed him by the flak jacket and punched him in the face before kicking him away, down to the ground level.

Naruto twisted in his descent and landed softly on the floor and looked up at Sasuke. Going through hand seals he inhaled. "Fūton: Shinkūgyoku!" (Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere) Exhaling he spat out several wind bullets at Sasuke at extreme speed.

Sasuke seeing the wind bullets thanks to his Sharingan dodged each one, all though it wasn't easy as they were close to together and yet placed so a normal person wouldn't dodge without being struck. "Raiton: Gian!" (Lightning Release: False Darkness) He exclaimed as he fired lightning from his mouth down towards Naruto.

Naruto seeing the lightning smirked as he thought about using a technique that Sasuke had never seen before, something he had created over the years based off of the Chidori. Holding his hand up he caught the lightning as it struck his hand, focusing his own Raiton chakra into his hands he took control over Sasuke's jutsu and made it his own. Slowly the lightning changed as it travelled up his right arm, completely enveloping it and his hand in the element. "Raitama!" (Lightning Sphere) Naruto said with a smirk.

"What the hell?" Sasuke muttered in shock at seeing his lightning jutsu transformed into something else. Sasuke barely caught Naruto's movement as he quickly appeared in front of him and striking forward. Charging Raiton in his own hand, he formed a Chidori and thrust his hand forward blocking Naruto's jutsu.

Naruto scowled and pushed forward which caused both lightning jutsu to grind against one another, sparks were shot all around them until it exploded sending them both flying back to the other side of the Valley. "What the hell was that?" Sasuke asked Naruto as his hand singed slightly.

Naruto chuckled and looked at Sasuke with a smirk. "I based it off of the Chidori, knowing that you used Raiton jutsu I would also need to focus on my own elements. Thanks to Kakashi, I was able to create my own jutsu to counter the Chidori. I've been ready for this for years now." Naruto said with a smirk.

Naruto started to go through hand seals until he stopped on the Dragon seal. Suddenly lightning started to crackle around Naruto before it turned purple. Concentrating on the lightning around him, it slowly formed into multiple orbs of lightning, condensed almost like his Rasengan. "Raiton: Koete Raiton Tama!" (Lightning Release: Transcending Lightning Spheres) Five orbs of lightning were now floating around him perfectly in sync.

Thrusting his arm forward he sent an orb of lightning at Sasuke who quickly flipped out of the way only to be struck in the side by another orb which thrown him back slightly. Looking up he barely missed two more orbs coming at him, but he didn't miss the final fifth orb which struck him in the stomach making him cough up blood. Naruto suddenly appeared in front of Sasuke in a crimson flash with two Rasengan's in both hands. "Jikūkan: Rasenrengan!" (Space-Time: Rasengan Barrage) Both Rasengan were thrust into the Uchiha's stomach ending with him flying into the side of the Valley in a large explosion from the combination of both orbs of chakra.

Naruto however was surprised when Sasuke appeared in front of him a second later with his Zanpakuto out and swinging down at him. Lifting his hand out, he grasped the blade with his bare hand and grunted as it cut into him making blood spill down hand. "Chidori Kōken!" (One Thousand Birds Sword) A second later lightning exploded out of the blade causing Naruto great pain as he was thrown away while holding his hand. Being electrocuted through the cut wasn't pretty at all.

Sasuke held his Zanpakuto to the side and charged a Chidori into his hand. Acting fast, he shot forward at Naruto who had regained his footing. Seeing Sasuke coming at him he held out his hurt hand and formed a chakra ball. Bending his knees slightly, he flew at Sasuke as he held his hand outwards.

Both shinobi came closer and thrust their hands together with all of their strength.

"Rasengan!"

"Chidori!"

Both jutsu's clashed together creating a whirlwind of chakra and lightning all around them as the two jutsu grinded against creating an unnatural force all around them. Suddenly the force got too much and imploded blowing the two away with more force than they ever felt before as they smashed into either side of the valley, blowing the entire foundation to pieces.

Naruto slowly pulled himself out of the hole and jumped up to the top of the valley only to watch as Sasuke repeated the action on the other side. 'What are you planning Sasuke?'

Sasuke on the other side started to flash through hand seals before looking up to the sky. "Katon: Gōryūka no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Dragon Fire Technique) Sasuke blew a large fire dragon into the sky and repeated it a few more times which started to gather clouds around that soon led to rain falling heavily.

Naruto recognizing what was going on, summoned two clones on both side of him and held out his hand. Forming a Rasengan quickly he had the other two clones to pour Futon chakra into the Rasengan. Eventually the wind started to whip up around him, rocks around him were lifted up from the very ground, ripping it apart from the force of the tornado around him. The Rasengan was now glowing a light blue with an almost white centre while an enlarged Fūma-shuriken-like shape of wind was encircling the Rasengan at incredible speed, the cause of the tornado around him created a large bell-like screech in the background.

At the same time, Sasuke formed Chidori in his hand and lifted it to the sky and channelled electricity into the storm clouds above him which were soon pushed away as a very large ethereal-like dragon made of lightning appeared from the heavens. "You won't survive Naruto!" Sasuke exclaimed. "Kirin!" Sasuke shouted as he thrust his hand down, the Lightning dragon roared, shaking the very earth as it soared towards Naruto while almost enveloping the entire land with its size.

Naruto sighed as he pulled his arm back; dispelling the clones then threw his hand at the dragon. "Fūton: Rasenshuriken!" (Wind Release: Spiralling Shuriken) The enhanced Rasengan flew through the skies with such intensity that the very air around it became distorted.

As the two jutsu struck each other, the entire world seemed to shake under the intense, inhuman power output from the both of them. The very air around the two jutsu was becoming distorted from the combination of the pure chakra, lightning and wind.

With the Taicho's

The Taicho's who were watching all had to use their reiryoku and reiatsu to stand still from the force of the jutsu collision; even from their distance the power was almost insane. Rocks, wind, lightning and pure energy was blown by them as the jutsu's fought each other.

"How can two humans, be capable of such things?" Love asked in shock and awe at what the two were capable of.

"They are the best of their kind of human, there are simply no other like them. With their power they could give Shinigami a good run, what is worrying is that they haven't used their Zanpakuto yet." Yamamoto said.

"You're worried?" Shunsui asked with a chuckle.

"I'm not worried about their power." Yamamoto corrected. "But I'm worried about this world, young Naruto has practically lost the will to live on anymore and young Sasuke doesn't care about the harm he causes. With powers such as theirs, they could literally tear this world apart; I think this is why the Spirit King sent us. He feared that Naruto would be too powerful for this world, only Soul Society can contain his powers."

With Naruto and Sasuke

Soon enough both of the jutsu's exploded in a maelstrom of chakra of lightning far greater than anything before. A large dome of chakra erected around it while destroying everything it touched, including the Valley. The dome suddenly sucked into itself and exploded sending a wave of chakra everywhere blowing Naruto and Sasuke a far distance from each other.

After a few moments Naruto struggled to stand up properly from the aftermath of the explosion. Looking around, the Valley of the End was nothing but a crater with the remnants of the two statues of Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha still hung slightly on the side of the wall.

"Damn, I didn't expect this." Naruto said as he eyed the damage while looking for Sasuke.

Naruto was completely unprepared for the sword that slashed him in the side drawing blood. Acting fast he quickly jumped back to where he could see Sasuke with his Zanpakuto drawn and blood on the edge. Looking down he saw his clothes had been torn from where Sasuke cut him. Placing his hand on it, green chakra soon enveloped it, healing the wound soon after. 'Thank god Sakura-chan taught me some medical Ninjutsu.' He thought to himself with a sad smile.

"Sneaking up on me huh? Wouldn't expect anything less of an Uchiha." He said while also noticing Sasuke's burnt and torn clothes. Any injuries on him seemed to have healed, like his own injuries.

Sasuke simply looked at him with bored eyes. "No matter which way I attack you from, you will always lose. Always." Sasuke said as he closed eyes for a few moments. Snapping his eyes open, Naruto was able to tell that his Sharingan had changed to his Eien no Mangekyō Sharingan that he gained from taking Itachi's eyes for himself.

Instead of the normal red eyes and three black commas, the normal red colour was now black and covered by three overlapping ellipses giving it 6 points, the design was red. Around the pupil was a Shuriken looking design. "Time for games is over!" Sasuke exclaimed before he vanished in a Shunpo.

Naruto quickly unsheathed his own Zanpakuto and spun around to block a downward strike from the Uchiha. He underestimated the strength behind the strike however as he was pushed down slightly allowing Sasuke to kick out at the blonde sending him back. Before Naruto could recover, Sasuke lifted up his free hand and pointed his fingers at the blonde and gathered his Raiton chakra in the tips. "Chidori Raikou Tama!" (One Thousand Birds Lightning Bullet) Multiple lightning balls formed on his finger tips and fired at Naruto at extreme speed.

Naruto saw the bullet like projectiles coming at him. Forming his Raitama in his hand he lifted up and swung the hand in a wide arc in the direction of the bullets. "Raitama Senbon!" (Lightning Sphere Senbon) Senbon like shapes were fired from the Raitama, each hitting the bullets and disrupting them from their path.

Back-flipping in mid-air, he landed on the ground with no problem. Bending on his legs, he shot forward at Sasuke with his Zanpakuto at the ready. Now within range, he swung down with a mighty blow creating a shockwave as Sasuke blocked. Using his free hand, Naruto went for a punch only for Sasuke to slide his head out of the way by mere inches. 'Damn it, with his Sharingan in that form, his perception time is far better; he can see what I do before I even do it. Its time I levelled the playing field.'

Sasuke used his free hand to grab Naruto's own hand and went to throw him away only for Naruto suddenly vanish from his spot and reappear a good few feet away. "I guess, I shouldn't hold back anymore huh?" Naruto asked rhetorically. Closing his eyes he started to gather the natural energy from around him, just doing that simple act made him feel peaceful once more. Opening his eyes, everyone could see their new transformation in them. The pupils were horizontal slits. The outermost circle at the edge of his eyes was red while the innermost circle was yellow and the rest was the normal white.

"Sennin Mōdo!" (Sage Mode) Naruto announced now feeling much stronger, physical wise. "Kawazu Kumite!" (Frog Style) He also said as he shifted stance while still holding his Zanpakuto. Bringing his arm up, he punched the ground sending shockwaves across it as a fissure opened up going Sasuke's way which forced him to jump.

Grinning, Naruto flew at Sasuke. Appearing at his side, he swung his sword which was blocked, but thanks to his enhanced strength, Sasuke was sent flying through the air. Flying after him he hovered above him while holding his hand out he started to form a variant of his Rasengan.

Sasuke looked up from at Naruto from where he was still airborne. 'That damn Sage Mode makes him physically stronger than I am at this point, if I want to win; I need to keep my distance until it runs out. I may need to release my Zanpakuto if it comes to that point.' He thought to himself. However his eyes widened when he saw Naruto's jutsu.

A Rasengan, about ten times bigger than normal was resting in the palm of Naruto's hand glowing with power as blue chakra radiated from it. Pulling his arm slightly he thrust it down at Sasuke. "Chō Ōdama Rasengan!" (Super Great Ball Spiralling Sphere) Sasuke quickly brought his sword up to block the mighty jutsu.

As soon as the jutsu and sword connected, a torrent of chakra exploded all around them in a form of a dome enveloping the two warriors. All was quiet for a moment before the dome exploded in a tornado of chakra and wind creating a large crater as both the Namikaze and Uchiha were pushed away.

Sasuke and Naruto both shot from the large mushroom cloud and skidded along the ground. From that explosion, their clothing had been mostly ripped leaving parts of the upper torso clothing hanging from the shoulders. Naruto quickly tore his trench coat off as well as his flak jacket since they were getting in the way while Sasuke removed his top now leaving him topless.

Sasuke looked over at Naruto and sighed as he pulled his sword horizontal with his face. "It's time!" He exclaimed as his reiatsu exploded from out of him in a deep purple colour.

Naruto knowing what was coming brought his own Zanpakuto in front of him, pointing out in a straight manner. Like with Sasuke, reiatsu exploded from around him only in a bright blue.

Both forces of reiatsu started to shake the very earth from the extreme force of the two. The power that was being displayed was something that only the Taicho's could produce. "Their reiatsu…is something else." Kyōraku said with a chuckle.

"If this is their Shikai, then their Bankai must be somethin' else." Shinji said with a grin.

"They're going to turn this place into rubble." Retsu said with a slight frown.

Yamamoto had his eyes on Naruto the entire time, impressed with his strength that he had shown so far. If a boy of his age could be this strong as a mere human with Shinigami abilities. Then as a true Shinigami, he would be amazingly powerful. 'Show me Namikaze, do you have what it takes to be a Taicho?'

"Kōkatekimen waga negai, Tenbatsu!" (Bring my desires to frutation, Justice of Heaven) Sasuke exclaimed as reiatsu wrapped around him before evaporating leaving his Zanpakuto in its new state. Tenbatsu took the form of a zhanmadao, a saber with a single long broad blade and a long handle suitable for two-handed use, similar in appearance to a standard katana. The guard was in the shape of a diamond and a type of kikiji(spirit cloth) dangled from the hilt.

"Tengoku No Sokubaku Kara Jibun o Kaihō Shi, Issho Ni Watashi-Tachi Wa Hakai No Michi o Aruite Mimashou, Zangetsu!" (Free Yourself From the Heaven´s Bonds and Together Let Us Walk the Path of Destruction, Cutting Moon!) Blue reiatsu exploded out of Naruto like a tornado whipping around him before it was pushed away as if by an invisible force. Naruto's Shikai was an unusual one. In Shikai form it looked like an oversized elegant cleaver rather than a formal "katana". The blade had no tsuba and no proper hilt; what Naruto held was the cloth-wrapped tang. The sword was as tall as Naruto himself, and had a black blade with a silver edge.

Sasuke stepped forward a few footsteps before stabbing his sword into the ground confusing Naruto who went on the defensive. What he didn't expect however was for Sasuke to look him in the eye. "Amaterasu!" Acting on his new increased speed, Naruto quickly Shunpo'd away as black flames lit where he once stood. Black fire started to follow his pathway as he flew through the sky. 'I have no jutsu that can deflect or even black Amaterasu. I just need to distract him, even still, with his new Sharingan it won't be easy now he can control those flames with no problem whatsoever.'

Channelling reiatsu into Zangetsu, it lit up with blue reiatsu wrapped it. Swinging Zangetsu in an arc at Sasuke he called out. "Getsuga Tenshō!" (Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer) This slash took the form of a crescent moon as it was fired from the blade. The crescent moon shaped reiatsu roared at Sasuke who stopped the flames to swing Tenbatsu in the same way. "Zaiten Tenshō!" (Heavenly Transmigration of Souls) Sasuke sent his own crescent moon attack at Naruto's only this time it was purple in colour.

Both attacks struck resulting in a large explosion that blew them back a few feet. Naruto unleashed another Getsuga Tenshō through the smoke cloud on a course for Sasuke. Sasuke watched as the smoke was pushed away as another Getsuga Tenshō headed his way. Knowing that if he countered it would just hurt him, he Shunpo'd out of the way as the technique blew past where he once was.

Sasuke used Shunpo to appear behind Naruto. Swinging his sword down, he was unprepared for Naruto vanishing and feeling a draft behind him. Ducking his head he just missed as Zangetsu chopped some stray's hair from his head. Spinning around, he kicked out at Naruto's waist and connected with the blonde kicking him across the sky.

Naruto skidded along the air from the kick that was stronger than he thought it would be. Kicking off of the invisible ground, he soared towards Sasuke, attacking with his sword; Sasuke blocked the strike that was aimed at his head. Naruto pushed Sasuke's blade away slightly and lashed out with a punch. Sasuke moved his head to the side and dodged the punch but then felt an invisible force against his cheek before he was blasted away down to the ground.

"What the hell was that?" Sasuke asked as he picked himself from the ground.

Naruto chuckled as he looked down. "My Sennin Mōdo allows me to use the natural energy from all around us, the very air itself and Kawazu Kumite (Frog Style) allows me to turn it into a weapon. I don't even need to make contact with you to hurt you…as you've just seen." He said with a smirk.

Sasuke snarled as he looked up at the blonde. He immediately started to go through one handed seals with his free hand as his cheeks puffed out. "Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu!" (Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique) Sasuke exhaled an extremely large fireball while discretely pushing his reiryoku (Spiritual Energy) into his Zanpakuto.

"Suiton: Suijinheki!" (Water Release: Water Encampment Wall) Water rose up around Naruto to block the fireball when it struck. However he noticed something strange with his enhanced awareness of energy around him. The fact that he could feel Sasuke's Zanpakuto absorbing reiryoku was putting him on edge, and rightfully so when he heard.

"Zaiten Tenshō!" (Heavenly Transmigration of Souls) Sasuke unleashed his attack up at the fireball which cut straight through and then went for the water wall. As soon as it struck, it went straight through and exploded on what Sasuke could only guess, Naruto.

A few moments later and Naruto appeared above Sasuke with his free hand pointing down at him. Sasuke looked up feeling Naruto's presence and was confused when he saw yellow lightning flickering on the palm of his hand. Naruto looked down, grinned as he said. "Hadō no Roku jū san: Raikōhō!" (Way of Destruction #63: Thunder Roar Sear) Lightning infused Reiryoku exploded from his palm heading straight for Sasuke who's eyes had widened at the sight.

Sasuke quickly swung his sword and fired another Zaiten Tenshō at the strange technique and not a moment later a large explosion rocked the earth underneath them as Sasuke was pushed along the air from the powerful spell.

With the Taicho's

"He can use Kidō?" Yoruichi asked in shock.

"And without the Incantation." Kisuke commented with awe in his voice.

Yamamoto chuckled lightly. "Naruto Namikaze is a very special young man; he is as much a Shinigami as any of us. The only difference is that he can access a separate energy called Chakra."

"Hey Yama-ji, what would happen to him if he went to Soul Society, would he lose his human body?" Kyōraku asked with a raised brow while the other Taicho's were also curious.

"No." Yamamoto said with a shake of his head. "He is a Human-Shinigami hybrid, his body is basically his spirit form, when he passes through the Senkaimon he will stay as he is for ever. For him it's a great thing, he will never have to re-train in his Zanpakuto and he will be able to use his Chakra and techniques. He will be the first ever of his kind." He said with a small smile. 'They don't need to know about his hollow powers….not yet anyway.'

"What would become of him when he goes to Soul Society?" Ginrei asked now that his interest about the blonde had heightened.

"Hmm, well there are quite a few Fukutaichō positions open." Yamamoto asked.

"You can't be serious? Fukutaichō?" Kensei asked in shock.

"Why not?" Shinji asked getting their attention. "The kids' been leadin' an entire village of shinobi for a while, practically a Taicho's position and he has the power." He argued his point. "He's just above 20 years old and yet he's been a successful leader, loved and respected by those he protected and whatnot. And yet, we're all over a century years old, probably not even doing as much as he had been forced to. It would be almost a crime assigning a low position."

Ginrei gave a nod to what Shinji said looked back at the fight while contemplating have someone like the Namikaze in his squad.

Yoruichi was also looking at Naruto since she had an open spot for Fukutaichō thanks to Kisuke's promotion to Taicho. She also knew that having a shinobi of Naruto's prowess in her Division would boost its reputation as well its power. Especially with what Shinji said being true, if he could lead an entire village on his own, with the exception of friends and advisors, what's stopping him from leading the Division when she was busy elsewhere. 'I wonder how Soifon would react to someone like Naruto-kun.' She thought with amusement.

With Naruto and Sasuke

Smoke and dust covered the area around Sasuke from the aftermath of Naruto's Hadō technique which obscured Naruto's own vision of anything that was going on with Sasuke. "Amaterasu!" Naruto heard the Uchiha shout while he went wide-eyed as black fire was launched at him from the smoke. Placing Zangetsu in front of him he channelled reiryoku into the blade before shouting. "Seinaru Hikari!" (Sacred Light) Almost immediately blue reiryoku wrapped around him creating a barrier, the technique also created many small, glowing bluish energy globs that started to float around the barrier.

Sasuke looked through the smoke as Naruto somehow created a barrier before the black flames of Amaterasu struck the barrier and wrapped around it tightly swallowing it.

Naruto from within the barrier went wide-eyed as he saw the flames bypassing the walls around him. 'Those black flames really can burn through anything huh? I'm glad I placed a seal on Sasuke earlier…' He thought to himself. Closing his eyes he focused on the seal placement before he vanished in a crimson flash. No sooner had he vanished had the barrier's orbs around it exploded creating a wide-scale explosion that covered the sky and successfully covering the flames.

Naruto reappeared behind Sasuke and pointed his large sword at him. At the point of the blade a blue orb started to form from the gathered reiryoku. "Kagetsu!" (Waning Moon) The stable mass of energy was then fired at Sasuke who had sensed him and spun around in time to see the orb coming at him while growing larger. Acting fast Sasuke gathered a Zaiten Tenshō around the blade for re-enforcement and swung at the orb to block it. What he didn't expect however was the energy from the orb to be released and swallow him whole and blowing him backwards while still maintaining the block before the energy imploded on itself sending him bouncing along the ground.

Sasuke flipped to his feet and shot into the air while Tenbatsu absorbed reiryoku. Reaching a good distance in the air Sasuke stopped before holding his sword, which was exuding a large amount of power, in a stance. "Zaiten Tenshō Niōda: Han no Zennōsha!" (Heavenly Transmigration of Souls, Second Strike: Judgement of the Omnipotent One) Going at speeds almost impossible to follow, Sasuke swung Tenbatsu multiple times, sending out five Zaiten Tenshō at the speed of light.

Naruto had no time to react as he was struck by all five head-on blowing him back a far distance while the place he once stood was nothing but a crater. He closed his eyes as he struck a wall, exploding in a shower of debris from the techniques that managed to cut him in various places.

Groaning as he slowly started to get back up, Naruto started to cough up blood from the backlash of the technique that Sasuke had just unleashed on him. Standing fully straight he looked up at Sasuke who had a smirk on his face. "I didn't want to do this against you at all; or rather I thought I never thought I would have to. I guess I'm wrong about another thing huh?" He asked with a chuckle.

Naruto held out his right hand which was holding Zangetsu and pointed the blade straight ahead. He then gripped his right arm with his left as the cloth of Zangetsu wrapped around his entire right arm and blew off of his right shoulder. Blue reiatsu exploded out of him creating a maelstrom of energy as it shot up into sky blowing all clouds away. "Ban-kai!" He exclaimed as his blue reiatsu quickly turned to a blackish-red as it exploded all around him, blowing Sasuke a good distance away.

Slowly, but surely, the reiatsu that had exploded out of him was slowly evaporating as it revealed his knew form. His Bankai actually shrunk his sword down to a daitō (Japanese long sword) with a black blade instead. The cross guard had four prongs bent out to form the shape of the manji (which was the kanji for "ban," meaning "full", as in "full release"). Instead of the cloth his Shikai form had, a short length of chain with a broken link at the end dangled from the base of the hilt. Any clothing Naruto's still had on had been replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle-length black coat (or Shihakushō) with red lining that was closed at his chest, then left to flare out into ragged ends, much like that of Zangetsu himself. "Tensa Zangetsu!"(Heaven Chain Slaying Moon) He said softly.

With the Taicho's

"How could such power come from such a small Bankai? It doesn't make sense." Rose asked with wide-eyes. As soon as the young 20-something had said that word rare Shinigami do, a weight had pressed down on them, crushing them all with his heavy and dense reiatsu.

"It's compressed." Kisuke said with wide-eyed amazement and a grin hoping he could one day spar with the youngster.

"What?" Love asked either in shock or confusion, even he couldn't tell himself.

"His Bankai, all of its power has been compressed in to that small form. Whereas most other Bankai would usually expand, his has transferred all of its power into a smaller form. What the advantages of this are, I don't know. I guess we'll find out huh?" Kisuke said with a grin wanting to know more about such a strange Bankai.

"Either way, he looks delicious." Yoruichi said with a grin as she licked her lips like a cat while looking at Naruto hungrily. Oh, she could picture several scenarios of Taicho and Fukutaichō sexual situations. She wasn't usually the type who would randomly have sex with someone, despite rumours. But she knew enough about the young man to know he would never be a one-time thing. 'Of course I wouldn't try straight away, not with what he's already been through. I may be eager but I'm not stupid.'

With Naruto and Sasuke

Naruto looked up at Sasuke. "It's over." He said, the next second he simply vanished, not a breeze or gust to show he moved. It wasn't even a second later when he reappeared in front of Sasuke with Tensa Zangetsu stabbed through the Uchiha. "You don't stand a chance anymore." Naruto said softly.

Sasuke gasped as he coughed up blood and slowly lifted his free hand up to grip Tensa Zangetsu that was stabbed in what he could guess could only be his lung. "Ugh…how did…you move so fast?" He asked between coughs.

"My Bankai is a compressed form, taking all of my power and speed and making it what you see. This then enables me to reach levels of physical and spiritual prowess most Shinigami would have their bodies give out at and cannot handle. Instead of using Shunpo to move, I can simply use this new found speed to move even faster than that. Catching people like you off-guard." Naruto said with a grin.

"Bastard!" Sasuke shouted as a black aura started to form around. Naruto seeing what was going to happen used his new found speed to get a good distance away.

The black aura now enveloped Sasuke completely as ribcages started to form around him slowly followed by a large skeleton with some musculature on it, which enveloped him more completely. After a moment horns grew on its head followed by three hands with six fingers on them giving it the appearance of a demonic and evil-looking humanoid being. In one of its hands, a large ethereal bow appeared, with an orb in its third hand. The ethereal shape then gained a layer of armour with jagged sharp teeth around the hooded area and with a much darker and menacing appearance. The orb in its third hand also changed to a pitch-black colon, while the bow in its left hand also took on a different shape. "Susanoo!" (Raging God of Battle)

Naruto looked at the ethereal figure with distaste at feeling the darkness emanating from it. Even the Kyuubi had never had so much hate, darkness or such a sickening feeling in its aura. "Seeing the darkness in your soul and power simply makes killing you all the more easier." Naruto said as he got into a stance.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and lifted its arm with the bow on while reaching back his only free hand; its ethereal arm plucked an arrow that was covered with black fire and placed it on the bow. "I'll kill you just like I killed Sakura and Ino." He said with a smirk. As soon as he spoke, he fired the arrow at Naruto at lightning speed.

Naruto frowned as he heard what Sasuke said, talking about the two women he loved more than life itself reignited the feelings he felt when he first saw them. However seeing the arrow coming at him at near blinding speed, he knew he couldn't mess around. Kicking off of the ground, he flew at Sasuke and cut straight through the arrow with no problem, almost like it wasn't there. Getting to a certain spot he flew up, above Sasuke and held Tensa Zangetsu above his head. Blackish-red reiryoku wrapped around the blade like a vortex. "Kuroi Getsuga!"(Black Moon Fang) Swinging the blade down, he unleashed a large wave of condensed reiryoku. Unlike the usual blue, this was now full black with a red outline.

Sasuke brought his bow up to block the attack but was shocked when it was cleanly sliced in half, he could only watch in further shock as the Kuroi Getsuga cut through his Susanoo like butter. Bringing his Zanpakuto up, he held back the attack before it simply overwhelmed him and pushed him back before he could do anything.

Naruto flew at Sasuke as he saw his attack about to end. Appearing in front of the fallen Uchiha, he wrapped his blade in more reiryoku and swung down on Sasuke who blocked the strike. Grinning down at him, he placed his left hand on the flat end of the blade. "Getsuga Tenshō: Shimetsu!" (Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer: Extinction) Almost immediately a giant dome in the same colour as Kuroi Getsuga spread out all around the two, tearing the ground apart as it grew larger. As if by a silent command, the dome exploded in a brilliant shower of light that shook the earth.

Inside the dome, Naruto was pushing against Sasuke's Zanpakuto when a crack ran up Tenbatsu, a further push and Tensa Zangetsu cut straight through it, breaking Sasuke's Zanpakuto in half as well as blowing Sasuke away at the same time as the dome exploded.

Soon enough the dome had collapsed revealing a perfect Naruto, without a scratch on him, not even a tear in his clothes and an almost dead Sasuke Uchiha lying by his feet. "Remember this Sasuke; you will never harm another person again." Lifting his Zanpakuto up, he looked in Sasuke's eyes and brought Tensa Zangetsu down and in one quick motion.

Sasuke seeing the blade come down at his face, closed his eyes on reflex, but all he heard was the crunch of gravel beside him. Cracking an eye open, with his Eien Mangekyō Sharingan still active, he glanced to his left and his eyes opened in shock and confusion. Beside his head, was the obsidian blade of Tensa Zangetsu stabbed in the ground. He looked up at Naruto who was looking at him with nothing but pure, unadulterated hatred. "Killing you won't bring them back." Was all Naruto said, and without another word, he reversed his Zanpakuto to its sealed state, removing his clothing and brining his usual clothing back, minus the coat and flak jacket that had already been destroyed. Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath before opening them, showing them to be his usual slit eyes and Sennin Mōdo cancelled.

Sheathing his sword he walked over to the Taicho's as Sasuke was left on the verge of dying. Not that Naruto actually cared. Finally making it to the Taicho's, he watched as they all stepped forward. "So what now?" He asked.

"Why didn't you kill him?" Kenpachi Kiganjō asked for the first time since he arrived. As far as he was concerned, this new kid had power and knew how to use it. As long as he wasn't afraid of that power and used it how he liked, then he could respect him.

"Killing that bastard wouldn't have brought the women I love back; no matter how much I want it." Naruto said with a sigh.

"Very well." Yamamoto stepped forward, his cane smacking the ground. "First, we'll take you to the Soul Society; I'll have one of the Taicho's give you a tour of all of the Divisions so you understand the system. Next you will be fitted into the Shinigami database and assigned a squad, expect to be placed in a high place, a person of your power can't afford to be wasted. After that you will become an official Shinigami of the Gotei 13." Yamamoto explained.

Naruto grinned actually excited about being a part of something. "Sign me up." He said as a couple of the other Taicho's gave a chuckle.

A few more minutes later and they were all gone. Naruto Namikaze would never return to this world again.

Had they stayed for a moment longer, they would have seen the air beside Sasuke rip open to reveal a black space, to which he was sucked into, leaving no body behind.

Spirit King's Realm

"He beat him." A familiar pink-haired woman said with a smile on her face.

"Of course he did. Naruto-kun always wins in his battles." A blonde haired woman said.

"He looked so sad." The pink haired woman said with a sad sigh.

"Well duh Sakura, he did just lose everything that mattered to him."

"I know that Ino…I just wish that there was something we could do for him. I hate seeing him in pain." Sakura said as a few tears fell from her eyes.

"That's why I brought you two here." A male voice said. Both girls turned to the voice to face a man who looked to be in his forties, the man had long black hair and dark black eyes; he wore a white Shihakushō with a black haori over it.

"Shinigami-sama." Both girls said with awe.

Shinigami chuckled and shook his head. "I'm just one of many Shinigami, but I am the Spirit King and I need your help." He said as he sat down on what looked like a throne.

"Our help?" Ino asked with a raised brow.

"Yes. I will train you two in the ways of the Shinigami, you will gain your own unique Zanpakuto, and when the time is right I will send you two to Soul Society to help Naruto-kun."

"Why?" Sakura asked. "I mean it's not like I don't want to see him again…hell, I'd do anything to be in his arms right now." She said with a sad sigh. "But why would he need us, he's powerful by himself, I doubt anyone could take him out."

"You'd be surprised about what's out there." The Spirit King said with a grim smile. "Yes, he may be strong physically…but emotionally, right now he's a wreck. In his time in Soul Society, he will meet new people that will heal his pain over time, but it will never be enough. He needs you two more than ever, or rather he will do when times seem bleak at best."

"Then why not send us there now?" Sakura asked with a frown.

"Because you two aren't ready, physically or emotionally. I need you to be strong, gaining a Shikai and Bankai before you even go to Soul Society. Naruto will have multiple mates in his time in Soul Society…"

"Which isn't much of a shock to be honest." Ino interrupted with a blush and smile.

"…But there will be dark times where Naruto will need you two to actually succeed. He will become the greatest asset to Soul Society, or he will become their greatest enemy." The Spirit King carried on.

"Enemy?" Both girls questioned with wide-eyes.

"There are many possibilities of what will happen in the future; those are just a couple of them. Soul Society is no different from Konoha, they have their own council and we all know how power hungry they can get."

"Then why not just get rid of them?" Ino asked with a frown.

"Because despite how much I would like to, they are a part of Soul Societies law, and if I don't follow there law that is set out, what can I expect from the rest of my people?" The Spirit King asked rhetorically.

"When will we see Naruto again?" Sakura asked with hope at being with him again.

"It won't be for a long time, in order for the two of you to become as strong as a Taicho you will be here for a minimum of a century at least." The Spirit King said with a sigh when he saw the down casted looks.

"That long?" Ino asked with a frown.

"I know and I'm sorry but there is one more reason that it needs to be awhile before you see him again." The Spirit King said a stern gaze.

"What's that?" Sakura asked with a tilt of her head.

"He needs to move on." He said and before he could be interrupted he held up his hand. "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I want him to forget you two, but he needs to see there is more in the world rather than be held down by memories of his past, he needs to move on and find more people to love. With him being Naruto and having a big heart, he will no doubt have his own harem." He said with a perverse giggle.

"Ok, I understand…or rather we do." Ino said while also agreeing silently on the harem, not that she minded, having sex with Naruto and Sakura had been an experience in itself, it also helped that her and Sakura were best friends and there was actually no awkwardness in the whole thing.

"Good." The spirit King said with a pleased smile. "Then let's gets started."

By the evil grin on his face, the two ex-shinobi knew they were in for one hell of a century, if not longer.

To Be Continued

For those who are thinking WTF? About the not killing Sasuke thing, calm down, there is an explanation about that later on but let me give you a hint. Aizen is involved, Naruto had been fully intending to kill Sasuke, but things don't always work out. I am not a Sasuke fan myself, not much anyway so don't think of this as a Sasuke loving fic. Because I will beat you to death.

Don't forget to send me a review and let me know what you think. Don't flame, it is basically pointless, I'll just ignore you so if you don't like it don't read. Constructive criticism is welcome though, any mistakes that I've made I'd like to think to make it better.

For now though, see ya.
