Remember all of the other chapters are on my profile
As the sky turned an inky black, a gaping hole was forming in the sky. In the bowels of that hole were Hollows, seemingly hundreds of them flying from inside the hole, onto the soil of Karakura Town. Naruto grimaced slightly as he and Ichigo exchanged looks, Rukia gasping as she watched the Hollow rain upon the Earth. A few blacks ahead, Uryū stood solo, pointing his bow at the sky as the Hollow's edged near. With precise aiming, he began to shoot the Hollow's directly in the head, piercing and destroying them as they rained down. From so far away, Ichigo spotted the blue arrows piercing through many of the Hollows, pulling ahead as Rukia and Naruto looked at him with surprise. Rukia opened her mouth to protest until Naruto took off in the same direction, Rukia silencing herself as she and Chad followed steadily. As the reached what was the touchdown point for the Hollows to land, Rukia pulled out her glove as she pulled it onto her hand. Naruto turned as Rukia slapped her hand into his chin, Naruto's Shinigami form dispersing from the body. Naruto took valiantly as he looked up at the incoming Hollows and unsheathed his blade. With quick movement, he went into the air and began to cut away at the Hollows, the Hollows howling in pain as their heads were sliced off cleanly, Naruto's blade killing these foes easily. Ichigo followed suit, cutting the Hollows as they came to the ground, the white and blur arrows still taking out quite a few of them.
"Hey new girl, what happen to Ichigo and Naruto?" Chad asked as Rukia didn't hear him, too busy looking into the sky and watching the two boys take on the Hollows. Naruto was killing a steady pace of 10 per second, Ichigo killing as least 5 per minute, Uryū killing 20 per second. The numbers were declining quickly, Naruto and Ichigo nowhere near killing as many as Uryū was. Naruto growled as he realized this, stepping up his speed a notch as the Hollows went down to the final ten. But even though it seemed as if it was the final Hollows, a giant hand appeared from the hole in the sky, a tremendous scream being heard from the hole. Naruto and Ichigo looked up as a overgrown Hollow climbed from the hole, landing in front of Ichigo and Naruto. Naruto gasped as he realized what this breed of Hollow was, Chad and Ichigo both looking confused as hell.
"Naruto... is that a Menos?" Rukia choked out slowly as Naruto nodded just as slowly, looking up into the air with widened eyes.
"I have actually never combated a Menos before..." Naruto muttered as Ichigo looked at him with a surprised expression.
"What the hell is a Menos?" Ichigo asked as Naruto pointed to it.
"A big ass Hollow that is stronger than the others," Naruto replied with a grin, holding his sword out in front of him. "Let's see how powerful you really are then Menos?" Naruto raced at the Menos, the Menos screaming as it lifted its foot and slammed it down upon Naruto. Naruto seemed to be crushed by the foot, no one seeing him move as the foot came crashing down. But it turned out to be a false prophesy, Naruto flash stepping from the attack and appearing on the shoulders of the Menos. The Menos reached out for Naruto as Naruto took out a chunk of the Menos neck, cutting it quickly as the Menos reached out. He jumped down as the Menos prepared to grab him, sliding down the Menos's body as he touched the ground.
"So, are we going to step this up Menos?" Naruto asked in an excited tone, happy to get such an interesting challenge. "I want this to be fun..." As he said this, the Menos grabbed him, Naruto surprised at how fast it was able to do so. As the Menos squeezed him, Naruto let go of his sword as he screamed in pain, Ichigo jumping up at the beast as it continued to hurt the blond hero. Ichigo was able to cut it, but only that due to not putting enough force into his swing. The Menos roared angrily, throwing down Naruto as it looked at Ichigo. As it prepared to touch Ichigo, an arrow flew at it's hand, the Menos pulling its hand away. Uryū stood near Rukia, holding his bow up as he smiled valiantly.
"Hmm, Soul Reapers are so pathetic, can't even kill a paltry Menos," Uryū said as he prepared another arrow. "Watch how it is done fools." He shot another arrow into the Menos, this time into it's mask. The Menos roared as it went walking towards Uryū, Uryū running back while shooting more arrows at the beast. But as he ran back, he tripped over a rock, making the boy trip and fall to his back. Uryū looked up in shock as the Menos lifted its foot and sent it flying down at Uryu. As this occurred, a young boy with wild red hair appeared next to Uryu, stepping in front of him holding a giant iron rod. As the Menos prepared to stomp down, the boy slammed the rod into the Menos's foot, making the Menos topple backwards. Naruto looked up as a hand was in front of him, someone offering to help him up.
"Mr. Urahara?" Naruto asked as he spotted a black cat looking down at him as well. "What's up with the cat and the kids?" Kisuke smiled as the cat looked deeply into Naruto's eyes, Naruto looking back at it.
"Nothing much Naruto, just came to lend a hand," Kisuke replied as he pulled Naruto to his feet, Naruto still looking down at the cat.
"Naruto, stop holding back," Naruto sworn he heard the cat whisper, the words so familiar to him...
As beads of sweat dripped from Naruto's forehead, he looked up again as Soi Fon flash stepped next to him. As she brought her hand down to attack him, Naruto rejected her attack by stopping her hand with his own. Naruto and Soi Fon began to exchange blows with lightening fast speed, Yoruichi looking at Naruto with satisfaction as he was able to keep up with Soi Fon. It had been a year since Yoruichi had bestowed Naruto with the honor of becoming her second apprentice, Naruto having to balance training with Yoruichi and school at the same time. He barely had any time to himself, either training with Soi Fon or Yoruichi or at school learning how to become a Shinigami. He had been avoiding Sasuke for the entire year under Yoruichi's order, Yoruichi telling him that "The time will come where you will settle things with him" in a mysterious voice every time Naruto asked why. Naruto had shown true improvement in all aspects of his training, almost mastering shunpo and his speed almost equal to Soi Fon. With this type of improvement in such a short time, Yoruichi knew that Naruto wasn't any ordinary child. As Naruto continued his mock battle with Soi Fon, Soi Fon was even being to tire out as she tried to keep her speed up with Naruto. Naruto grinned as he dodged one of Soi Fon's punches and delivered a devastating right hook to Soi Fon's jaw, pushing her to the ground. Yoruichi clapped lightly as she stepped onto the battlefield, Naruto helping Soi Fon from the ground as she dusted herself off.
"Good match Naruto," Soi Fon said in a strangely cheerful way, holding out her hand as Naruto looked back at he, stunned. He took her hand and shook it, a smile crossing Yoruichi's face.
"Um, would you want to go get some ramen with me tonight perhaps Soi Fon?" Naruto asked as Soi Fon looked back at him, shocked. "If you don't want to, that's totally cool. I'll just go ask someone else..."
"No, I'll go..." Soi Fon interrupted as Naruto grinned.
"Cool, I'll come back later then," Naruto replied as he picked up his training items and shoved them into a bag. "OK, see you later Sensei! You too Soi Fon!" Naruto rushed away to class, leaving Soi Fon blushing slightly and Yoruichi looking at her with a smile. Later that day, as Naruto returned back to the Squad 2 training ground, he was surprised to see that something was going on. People were running around, causing amok as they seemingly searched for something. Naruto walked around in shock as he looked for Soi Fon or Yoruichi. He stopped as he seen one of the members of Squad 2, opening his mouth to speak. He was pushed away and ignored by the member, Naruto angrily looking back as the man ran away. He went to near the captain's quarters, hoping to find Yoruichi residing there. Instead, he was suddenly grabbed and turned around. Behind him stood Aizen Sōsuke, Sasuke Uchiha standing next to him.
"What are you doing here Naruto?" Aizen asked skeptically as he looked at Naruto, his eyes analyzing the young warrior. "This is only an area fro Shinigami at this time, we are under red alert."
"So why is Sasuke here?" Naruto asked as he quickly ignored that. "Anyway, my Sensei is here and I need to start my training, so that is why I'm here."
"Who is your Sensei?" Sasuke asked with a superior grin as Naruto smiled.
"Yoruichi Shihōin," Naruto answered proudly as a unhappy look appeared on Aizen's face for a quick second. It quickly disappeared as Naruto looked up at him, Aizen looking back at Naruto with a sad smile. He patted Naruto's head as he prepared to speak. Suddenly, Naruto was pulled away, the person running quickly as they dragged Naruto away. As the person pulled Naruto against a wall, Naruto found out it was none other than Soi Fon.
"Soi Fon, what is...?" Naruto asked as Soi Fon unsheathed her sword and held it up to his throat.
"Did you betray Master Yoruichi?" Soi Fon asked with poison as Naruto looked back at her with widened eyes. "I know that someone had something to do with this, Master Yoruichi would never do something like she is being accused of. I think she is being framed, and I think that it is you that did it... you and Aizen seem a little too close..."
"I barely know Aizen and why would I betray Sensei for?" Naruto shot back as Soi Fon looked at him skeptically. "I think that after all of that training we did together and all the time we spent around each other, you should have enough sense to know who I am!" Soi Fon didn't answer immediately, looking away as she thought about exactly what Naruto just spoke of. Her mind drifted back to the days of her and Naruto sparring, the thrill of having an opponent that could almost match her. But she shook that off as she looked back at Naruto with a disgusted glance.
"I know that you are a traitor Uzumaki Naruto, I will never trust you!" Soi Fon screamed as she prepared to attack, a butt of a sword hitting her in the back of her head. Soi Fon looked back with widened eyes before she crumbled to the ground, Aizen and Sasuke standing behind her. Aizen sheathed his sword as he nodded to Sasuke to pick up Soi Fon. Naruto watched with surprise as Sasuke carried Soi Fon away, Aizen looking down at Naruto with a pleased grin.
"Well Naruto, it seems that your former master is wanted for treason against the Soul Society," Aizen said as Naruto gasped. "I'm afraid that you no longer have someone to teach you... well, besides someone else I know. As the active captain of my squad, I would like to offer you the position of my second apprentice. I will guarantee you a seated position on my squad if you do."
"You are the one who betrayed Master Yoruichi," Naruto suddenly choked out as Aizen looked at him in surprise. "It was you wasn't it? Sensei would never do anything wrong, you probably set her up!" Aizen chuckled softly at this, not expecting this child to pick up on this so quickly.
"Let's just hope that these fools are more stupid then this child is," Aizen thought as he stared at Naruto. Naruto pulled himself from the wall, Sasuke returning and standing side by side with Naruto.
"Sasuke, how would you like to become a lieutenant?" Aizen asked coolly as Sasuke looked up at him with shock. "Kill this boy and I promise you this position..." With those words spoke, Sasuke chuckled, walking past Aizen as he looked at Naruto.
"Sasuke, you are not like this, don't listen to him!" Naruto shouted as Sasuke looked down at the ground.
"I have to be better than him," Sasuke muttered softly as Naruto looked at him with confusion. "My brother, he was always better than me. Everything he did he always excelled in, never failing like I did. He never had hardships, he always found a way to win. He was entered into Shinigami Academy by the time he was 10, graduated at 16, and is now a third seat holder. He was always better, but now I get my chance to shine. I will surpass you Itachi..." As Sasuke uttered these words, he looked up with a bloodthirsty grin before he viciously striked Naruto in the jaw, blood flying from Naruto mouth as the punch connected. Sasuke kicked Naruto in the chest, following up with a sweep kick, Naruto falling to the ground. As Sasuke prepared to strike once again, Naruto flash stepped from the attack, Naruto appearing behind Sasuke. Naruto pulled Sasuke into a quick choke hold, Sasuke struggling as he tried to get free. He pulled Naruto off him by pushing him over his shoulders, Naruto jumping down and sliding back quickly.
"Naruto, I will propose an offer for you..." Aizen suddenly said, Sasuke not moving as Aizen spoke. "Join me and we shall build upon this broken and shattered world. Together, with your power we can create something wonderful..." Naruto shook his head no, refusing to accept Aizen's offer.
"Hmm, such a fool," Sasuke muttered as he grinned at Naruto. "Tough luck loser..." Naruto could only watch as Aizen himself slammed the back of his sword into Naruto's chest, Naruto falling to the ground in pain as he held his stomach.
"Where did you place Soi Fon?" Aizen asked Sasuke as Sasuke turned to him.
"I handed her off to Gin after carrying her away," Sasuke replied as Aizen nodded in response.
"Good, we shall wipe her memories of suspecting me and... of this child," Aizen muttered as he looked down at Naruto. "We shall take him and convert him into a chosen one..."
"Why bestow such an honor like this on him?" Sasuke asked as Aizen chuckled softly.
