As Naruto returned back to the school with the Fake Ichigo, he began to drift back to the times when he was in school himself. It was called the Shinigami Academy, the place where he had trained to become the Shinigami he was today. Even though he had always been the number 2 student in school, he remembered fondly about the person who he feuded with in his earlier days...
Flashback
It was a beautiful morning in the Soul Society. As the fresh out of Area 78 Naruto headed up a small hill to the Shinigami Academy, he stopped and took a deep breath, the sweet smell of cherry blossoms flustering through his nostrils. He smiled broadly, looking up at the giant academy building that loomed before him. It had a calming sense, making the soon to be Shinigami forget his worries and stride to succeed. Naruto took another deep breath as he walked up to the entrance, placing his right hand on the doorknob to enter the school. Before he could open the door, the door was forced open from the other side, sending Naruto to the ground as two other students walked from outside the building. They looked down at Naruto with a snicker before they advanced ahead, pointing and laughing as another boy with blond hair walked up near the Academy.
"Well, here he is now..." one of the boys announced as the blond boy edged back, seeing that the two boys were blocking him from entering. "Where you going pal? You were supposed to help us with our kido homework the other day and you didn't pull through. So you know what that means..." As the boy said this, he and his friend unsheathed two wooden swords from their sides.
"You gotta pay the toll to pass..." the boy finished as he pointed his wooden sword at the boy in front of him. "Give us anything you got that we might like." As the boys were bullying the blond boy, another boy walked into the scene. This boy seemed completely different from the boy that was getting bullied. This boy seemed fierce, his facial expressions telling a story of a person who had seen too much in his short lifetime. He had jet black hair, straight in the front and more edged in the back. He wore an Academy outfit and his eyes were a dark gray. He looked up slowly as he walked into the blond boy, who backed into him. The blond boy turned around, looking at the black haired boy in fear as the two kids in front of them chuckled.
"Hey, aren't you that Uchiha Sasuke kid?" one of them asked as they stood in their position, not moving an inch. "I heard that you were a pretty good fighter from wherever you came from. Wanna test that theory here and now?"
"You aren't on my level," Sasuke replied bluntly as he tried to move ahead of the bullies. "Now move out of my way."
"Aren't you going to ask us nicely?" one of the bullies teased as Sasuke closed his eyes. "Or you gonna make us move tough guy?"
"I'll ask you one more time," Sasuke warned as he didn't move a muscle. "Move now, or else." The two bullies snickered as they continued to look at Sasuke, not moving an inch. Sasuke opened his eyes as a smile creeped onto his face.
"Hmm, if that is the way you want it..." Sasuke muttered as he slammed his elbow into one of the boy's chin, blood spitting out the boy's mouth as he was backed away. The other boy tried to attack, using his wooden sword to strike down upon Sasuke. Sasuke foresaw the attack, rolling out the way as the boy swung down, Sasuke leaning in and punching the boy in the cheek, his face partially caving in from the punch. The boy backed up, holding his cheek as blood dripped from his mouth. As Sasuke prepared to walk away, the other boy who had been elbowed in the jaw had sneaked behind Sasuke and now latched onto him, pulling him into a choke hold. Naruto gasped in surprise as he looked around, no other people strangely in sight to stop the battle. He sighed loudly as he rushed to Sasuke's aid. The boy that had backed up spotted Naruto coming, picking up his wooden sword that had dropped from his hand and swinging it in Naruto's direction, Naruto doing a dodging slide (He dodged while sliding on the ground) and stood up quickly. As the boy striked again, Naruto grabbed the wooden sword with his left hand, Naruto looking at him with a grin as he tripped the boy with his foot. The boy fell on his face, Naruto pulling his wooden sword away as he did. Naruto turned and prepared to strike the boy who was holding Sasuke in a choke hold. The boy began to struggle as he was pulled over Sasuke's shoulders, Sasuke slamming him to the ground. The boy looked up slowly as Naruto and Sasuke attacked at the same time, both of their fists hitting his opposite cheek. As they finished this quick barrage of fist, Sasuke dusted his hands off before walking away promptly, not even paying any attention to Naruto.
"Hey, what the hell?" Naruto asked as he walked quickly, catching up to Sasuke. "I just saved your ass there and I don't even get a thank you?"
"I didn't need the likes of you to jump in," Sasuke replied bluntly as he sped up. "Now back off, I'm already late for class." Naruto sped up as well, grabbing Sasuke's shoulder angrily as he did. Sasuke stopped, looking at the hand that was rested on his shoulder with annoyance. He looked up at Naruto, who wasn't going to remove his hand.
"So it seems that you didn't get enough of a display of what I could do," Sasuke said as he slapped Naruto's hand away and kneed Naruto in the chest. Naruto gasped in pain, blood dripping down his school outfit from his mouth as he looked up at Sasuke angrily. Sasuke smirked as he watched Naruto swing at him, Sasuke catching the fist in mid air easily.
"You don't seem to be capable of keeping up with my abilities," Sasuke stated as he prepared to strike the young Shinigami in the face.
"I think that's enough of that young ones," a voice replied as a man with wavy brown hair and thin glasses stepped forward, putting his hand on Sasuke's shoulder.
"Who the hell are you?" Naruto asked as the Shinigami chuckled, walking over and patting Naruto on the back.
"My name is Aizen Sōsuke, I'm the lieutenant of the 5th Division," the Shinigami answered as Naruto gasped in surprise.
"Wow, a lieutenant?" he asked with widened eyes as Aizen nodded in response. "I've never met a Shinigami with such a high ranking..."
"Hmm, I sensed your Spiritual Pressure when you resided in Area 78," Aizen interrupted. "You were quite impressive. I was the one who requested to my captain to send someone to pick you up from that horrible place. He agreed and I said it would be best to give you suitable training. So please train hard so that you can become part our team. So what is your name soon to be ally?"
"My name is Uzumaki Naruto," Naruto answered with a grin as he gave Aizen a quick bow. "I would be honored to be able to join your team..."
"Why bother with an insignificant battle power like yours?" Sasuke interrupted with a superior smile. "You are just another low rate Shinigami. I come from a place that I was feared and respected as the strongest around. I shall be taking the place of Hirako Shinji as the captain of the 5th Division. Either that or I will take Shihōin Yoruichi as the captain of the 2nd Division."
"You will have to get past me first," Naruto growled as he and Sasuke stared each other down. "I will be the one to become the strongest Shinigami that ever lived!
"We shall see about that... loser," Sasuke replied with a grin as he walked away, Naruto looking at him with a strange expression.
"Why do I feel like I've heard that before?" Naruto asked himself as he turned back to Aizen.
"Well, time to get to class then Naruto," Aizen said as he guided Naruto back towards the school. "Make sure to get in your training and stay true to your word. We will need you in the upcoming days..."

"Hey Naruto!" a voice shouted as Naruto returned back to reality and turned around. Rukia and Ichigo ran up to him, seemingly looking for something as Naruto stared at them with confusion.
"Hey guys, your already done with that Hollow?" Naruto asked as Ichigo and Rukia looked at each other in unison.
"We've been done for about 20 minutes now," Rukia answered as Naruto turned around, wondering where Fake Ichigo disappeared to. "Where's Ichigo's body?"
"Um..." Naruto muttered as he looked around the area a second time. "We might have a problem you guys. Cause I have no idea where Ichigo's body disappeared to. I was kinda reminiscing about things and must have stopped paying attention..."
"You lost my damn body?" Ichigo asked as he looked around frantically. "What the hell Naruto? Dammit, let's split up and look for it. Naruto, you take the school. Rukia, you take downtown. I'll take uptown. We'll meet back here in a half hour OK?" Naruto and Rukia nodded as Naruto took off in the direction of the school, Rukia taking off downtown. Ichigo sighed as he headed uptown. As Naruto rushed to the school, he could already see that something wasn't right. A window was broken, and a chair was laying on it's back in the front of the school. Naruto jumped up to his classroom window as he looked within it, Fake Ichigo walking up to Tatsuki.
"Hey babe," Fake Ichigo said as he put his hand up against a wall next to Tatsuki. "You might not have the goods I like, but your pretty enough. How about me and you go have a make out session huh?" Tatsuki looked at Fake Ichigo with shock as Orihime, who was standing next to Tatsuki gasped. "Oh and you with the goods over there. Maybe you would like to join us huh? Besides, I could use something to squeeze while me and your friend are making out. So... how about it?" Naruto jumped down quickly as Fake Ichigo was kicked out the window, falling to the ground as Tatsuki looked from the window with fire shooting from her eyes.
"Wow, what is up with these girls?" Fake Ichigo groaned as he pulled himself from the ground. He turned as Naruto stood behind him, tapping his foot on the lawn.
"Alright, you have had your fun now," Naruto said as Fake Ichigo snickered. "Time for you to get out of Ichigo's body."
"How about I keep this body and you get out of my way!" Fake Ichigo shouted as he jumped up and kicked Naruto in the face, Naruto falling to the ground with a shocked expression on his face. "You can't defeat me Shinigami, so back off and keep away!" Fake Ichigo took off, Naruto getting up from the ground angrily as he took off after Fake Ichigo.
"Don't make me become a Soul Reaper whatever your name is!" Naruto screamed as he reached out to grab Fake Ichigo.
"My name is Kon!" Fake Ichigo screamed as he turned around and punched Naruto in the chest, Naruto backing up as he held his chest. "Now stop bugging me!" Kon did a quick twist kick, knocking Naruto away as Naruto growled from the ground.
"Dammit, where is Rukia?" Naruto groaned as he got up once again. "I want to teach this ******* a lesson!"
"Hey, did you find him?" Ichigo asked as he jogged up to Naruto.
"Yeah, he took off that way," Naruto replied as he brushed the dirt off his school uniform. "It seems you must have bought a defective Soul Candy. That one has a mind of it's own, acting on it's own will. We need to stop it before it completely destroys your reputation."
"Son of a *****!" Ichigo roared as he grabbed Naruto's shirt collar. "Why didn't you say that this thing could have occurred?
"This kind of thing has never happened before!" Naruto exclaimed as he pulled his shirt collar from Ichigo's hand. "I'm just as surprised as you are!" Ichigo sighed deeply, putting his hands to his face in exasperation.
"Let's go catch this bastard then..." Ichigo murmured as he pulled out his sword. "I'm going to teach him a lesson about going around showboating in my body..." As they followed the running Kon, Rukia was walking from uptown, spotting Chad and the bird that had a soul within it.
"Hey new girl," Chad said as he spotted her. "You seem as if you are looking fro something.
"Um, I was wondering if you seen... Ichigo," Rukia asked as Chad shook his head no, thinking back to the last time he had seen Ichigo.
"The last time I seen Ichigo was when he was with you," Chad explained as he looked at the bird. "You had just met my friend here remember?"
"Yeah... That's right..." Rukia replied with a fake smile as she prepared to walk away. Suddenly, something that felt as if it was an earthquake occurred, gigantic footsteps appearing next to where Rukia and Chad were standing.
"A Hollow..." Rukia said as she looked up at the mighty beast. "Dammit, why now of all times?"
"What's going on here?" Chad asked as Rukia pointed to the opposite direction.
"Run away from this place as fast as you can Chad!" Rukia shouted as Chad looked at her confused. "Do it now if you want to live!"
"Somethings here..." Chad said as the Hollow chuckled softly.
"That's right tough guy, I'm right here!" the Hollow screamed as it went rushing at Chad, Chad turning around and giving it a bone shattering punch to it's jaw, the Hollow screaming in pain. Rukia stood there with widened eyes as Chad set down the bird in a safe place and looked around the area.
"You shouldn't have done that *******," the Hollow murmured as it looked at Chad angrily. "I'm going to have fun devouring you!"
"Chad! Look out!" Rukia screamed as Chad rolled away from the Hollow's attack, the Hollow growling in anger.
"Can you see this thing new girl?" Chad asked as he gave the Hollow another blow to the face. "Are you sure it's actually here?"
"You can't even see it?" Rukia asked with widened eyes. "What kind of power is this?" She watched as the Hollow smarted from it's injuries, Chad looking around for where to attack. As the fight occurred, a black cat walked up onto a tall ledge, hidden from view.
"So it seems there is more then just Ichigo that will assist Naruto," the black cat murmured to himself as he stood there. "I will be waiting in anticipation to see what occurs here... Kisuke was right. Naruto will have his hands full in the future. I just hope he has used my training to the fullest..."
As Naruto and Ichigo sped after Kon, they were beginning to lose their patience.
"This idiot is running on some kind of forever energy!" Naruto huffed as he stopped and took a gulp of air. "I can't take all this running man!"
"I'm beginning to lose patience myself," Ichigo replied as he stopped and took a deep breath. "We need a plan to take this guy out."
"How about this one Soul Reaper?" a voice asked as a blue and white arrow glided through the air, hitting Kon directly in the back. Kon's eyes went blank as he fell to the ground slowly, the Soul Candy rolling from Ichigo's bodies mouth.
"Who in the hell...?" Naruto asked as he turned around, a boy with black spectacles standing behind him. He held a smoking bow, a superior smile pasted on his face.
"Soul Reapers are so insignificant," the boy said as he fixed his glasses upon his face. "They couldn't even solve a simple problem as a troublesome Soul Candy."
"Hey, just who the hell do you think you are?" Naruto asked angrily as the boy smiled again, putting his bow to the side of him.
"I'm Ishida Uryū, a Quincy," the boy said as he put pointed his bow at Naruto. "You are Shinigami, and I hate them with a passion."
