As Chad went toe to toe with something that he couldn't even see, Rukia stood behind him, pointing out where the Hollow was going to strike next.
"Chad, over there!" Rukia screamed as Chad dodged a swipe from the Hollow, slamming his fist into the Hollow's face for the fourth time that day. The Hollow roared with anger, aware that this man couldn't even see him and was easily overpowering him. The Hollow began to think of a plan, knowing that if he sustained any more damage, he would eventually succumb to this human. As he watched Rukia point out where he was going, the Hollow figured out a plan. Chuckling darkly, the Hollow dove at Rukia, Rukia not expecting the monster to do this. As she prepared to use a kido spell, the Hollow slapped her away, Rukia getting slammed into a fence. The Hollow snickered as he picked Rukia up by the torso and held her high in the air.
"If you can hear me you big idiot, here is the deal," the Hollow hissed as it looked at Chad, who was looking up at the seemingly floating Rukia with widened eyes. "You will back off and give me the bird for breakfast and I might not drop this little ***** and make her splatter all over the pavement..." Rukia looked down at Chad as Chad looked up at the Hollow, able to see it slightly now. Chad was able to hear its words, the words angering him. His body began to slightly glow a white aura as Chad wrenched his arm back. He ran at the Hollow, the Hollow beginning to chuckle. As the Hollow chuckled, Chad slammed his entire arm into the Hollow's chest, his arm tearing completely through the Hollow's chest. The Hollow stopped chuckling as it looked down at the hole that surfaced on his chest and roared in anger. He prepared to chuck Rukia into the ground as Chad gave the Hollow's arm a karate chop, the arm getting disconnected from its body. Rukia went flying to the ground, screaming as Chad dove and caught her. Rukia sighed happily as the Hollow continued to scream loudly.
"I WILL KILL YOU BOTH!" the Hollow screamed as Rukia and Chad looked at each other in unison. Rukia stepped back as Chad went running at the Hollow, the Hollow running at Chad. Chad jumped into the air and brought his fist down into the Hollow's mask, the Hollow's face imploding from the attack. The Hollow screamed in pain as it was destroyed, the Hollow's body exploding as it's mask was destroyed. Chad took a deep breath and sighed as he looked over at Rukia.
"That was close wasn't it new girl?" Chad asked as Rukia nodded, in awe of this mysterious man's power. "Didn't you say that you were looking for Ichigo?"
"Oh yeah!" Rukia exclaimed as she looked around the area. "Which way is the fastest way to the school?"
"Come on, I'll show you," Chad answered as he picked up the bird cage and checked on the bird inside. "I was just about to go there anyway..." Rukia nodded as she followed Chad into town. Meanwhile, near the school, Ichigo and Uryū were still engaged in a fierce battle. Ichigo had been severely wounded by Uryū's arrow attack, forcing the new Shinigami to tap into powers that he didn't even know that he had. As Ichigo's body glowed a glorious blue light, Ichigo pulled his sword from the ground, Uryū chuckling as he watched this desperate attempt to defeat him from Ichigo. Naruto could only watch as he watched Ichigo's soul pressure increase beyond anything that he had ever felt from any ordinary Soul Reaper.
"The only person I ever felt with this type of power..." Naruto thought as his mind brought him back to his Shinigami Academy days...
Flashback
As Naruto awoke the next day after spending a restless night thinking of what would be occurring in the next two days that would consist of him needing to take two days off of school for. His mind imagined many things, from training to torture. Which all of the torturing done by Soi Fon for some reason. As Naruto woke up, these were in his mind as Soi Fon entered the room. He blushed instantly as he spotted her, his mind traveling to many different places.
"What are you looking at?" Soi Fon asked as she spotted the stupid expression on his face. "Anyway, time to get up. Master Yoruichi wants you on the training field immediately." Naruto nodded as Soi Fon exited the room and Naruto's head fell back upon his pillow. He closed his eyes and started to snore softly as he was suddenly sprayed in the face with what seemed like ice cold water. Soi Fon stood over him, holding a empty bucket as she looked at him with a smile.
"What the hell?" Naruto shouted as he looked at his drenched clothes. "Are you crazy or something?" Soi Fon didn't say anything as she dropped the bucket and slapped Naruto across the face, Naruto turning red as his hand reached for the area she slapped.
"When you are given an order, you obey it without any question!" Soi Fon spat as she pulled the covers of Naruto's body. "I told you to get up and report somewhere and you fall back asleep? You will regret that dearly..."
"I'm already drenched with water and have a slap mark on my face, what else could you possibly do?" Naruto asked sarcastically. As these words slipped from his mouth, he instantly regretted them. Soi Fon didn't answer, a grin creeping onto her face as she pulled Naruto from bed.
"You are going to find out exactly what I can do Uzumaki Naruto," Soi Fon whispered in Naruto's ear and she pushed him to the door. "Now move! I'm done babying you!" As Soi Fon guided Naruto to the Squad 2 training field, many of the Shinigami of Squad 2 looked in surprise as they spotted Naruto walking with Soi Fon.
"Doing a little babysitting Soi Fon?" a Shinigami asked as Soi Fon shot him an angry look. He shut his mouth quickly as Soi Fon dragged Naruto to the field. Yoruichi stood there waiting, the field completely clear for some reason.
"Good morning Naruto," Yoruichi greeted as Naruto stepped foot on the field. "Welcome to your first day of official training..."
"Training?" Soi Fon shouted as she heard the words. "Is that what you wanted me to bring this urchin here for? No disrespect you you Master Yoruichi, but this little idiot isn't worthy of your teachings!"
"Are you perhaps jealous Soi Fon?" Yoruichi teased as Soi Fon turned red. "Or do you possibly see Naruto as a threat?"
"Neither of those are true Master," Soi Fon answered as Yoruichi folded her arms across her chest.
"Very good, then you won't mind being Naruto's training partner for the next two days he is here then," Yoruichi said as Soi Fon opened her mouth to protest. Then she closed her mouth, nodding in silence as Yoruichi chuckled.
"Try not to look so upset Soi Fon," Yoruichi said as Naruto looked at Soi Fon. "Naruto will prove to be a bigger challenge then you might expect... Besides, I have an eye for scouting talent, don't you think?" This lifted Soi Fon's spirits a bit, hearing her master regard her in such a way. She turned to Naruto and held her hand out, Naruto looking at it with surprise.
"Since you are going to be a disciple of Master Yoruichi for the time being, we are teammates," Soi Fon muttered as she looked away. Naruto took her hand, Soi Fon and Naruto shaking hands as Naruto grinned broadly.
"So I'm going to be training?" Naruto asked as Yoruichi nodded. "So what will I be doing?"
"This will be non stop, 24 hour training Naruto," Yoruichi warned as Naruto nodded, beads of sweat dropping down his face as he nervously prepared for this. "Your first task for now will be to take on Soi Fon, no holding back. Soi Fon looked at Yoruichi in shock as she said this, Naruto turning and looking at Soi Fon.
"Me vs. him?" Soi Fon asked as Yoruichi nodded. Naruto nodded as he looked down at his hands and realized he had no sword to use.
"I need a sword to use," Naruto said as he looked at Yoruichi. "If I could use a practice sword or something..."
"No sword, just your hands," Yoruichi said as she nodded at Soi Fon, who placed her sword on the ground. "Naruto, when you fight against an opponent, you will not always have the luxury of using your zanpakutō. Sometimes your blade will be knocked away and you will find yourself unable to retrieve it. What do you do then? The best Shinigami must be prepared for anything, always ready on a moments notice. Even if your sword is not in your grasp, with my training, you will be able to kill 100 Hollows with your bare hands. Well, not necessarily, but you get the idea. Now, Soi Fon, no holding back anything understand?" Soi Fon nodded as she got into a fighting position. Naruto did as well, Soi Fon disappearing before his very eyes. As she did, Naruto looked around quickly as he was kneed in the chest, Soi Fon behind him as he turned. She disappeared again, Naruto looking around in confusion as he held his arms out to strike. As Soi Fon appeared before him, he swung at her quickly, Soi Fon deflecting the punch with her left hand and using her right hand to punch Naruto in the jaw. She then kicked him in the chest and grabbed the collar of his shirt. She pulled him towards herself and then slammed him to the ground. Naruto moaned as blood dripped from his mouth, Soi Fon stepping back to give Naruto a moment to get up. Naruto got up to his knees before Soi Fon appeared in front of him again and kicked him in the chin, Naruto screaming in pain as a stream of blood shot from his mouth. He wiped the blood that was dripping down his chin away as he got up from the ground and prepared to attack. Soi Fon snickered as she ran at him, Naruto not sure what to do. He froze for a second, Soi Fon slamming her fists into his chest as Naruto coughed up more blood. Yoruichi watched in silence as she analyzed Naruto's movement, his speed pathetic and his fighting style was horrible. Naruto pulled himself from the ground once more, only to be plowed back into it by Soi Fon.
"Master, is this enough?" Soi Fon asked as she put her foot against Naruto's back, keeping him on the ground. "This is getting to just be a slaughter fest, so I would prefer to..."
"Keep going Soi Fon," Yoruichi interrupted as Soi Fon looked at her skeptically, but then nodded. Soi Fon took her foot of Naruto's back, Naruto getting up as he looked at Soi Fon angrily. Soi Fon snickered as Naruto angrily ran up at her and began to swing furiously. Soi Fon dodged the attacks easily, swaying gracefully as Naruto swung clumsily. She then caught Naruto's fist in mid air, Naruto looking with widened eyes as he was kicked in the chest and pushed to the ground. Naruto remained on the ground for a moment, wishing for some of the strength that had helped him defeat the Shinigami that had tried to hurt Rukia and the two children. Naruto laid there with blood dripping from his mouth as he wearily tried to get up. He succeeded, Soi Fon looking at this child with admiration. Even though he stood no chance, he continued to get up and take the attacks. Soi Fon looked at Yoruichi once again, who nodded at her to continue. Soi Fon nodded back as she reluctantly rushed at Naruto and elbowed him in the back as he tried to get up, Naruto slamming into the ground. As the dirt from the ground went into his mouth, Naruto felt like not getting back up. His mind kept saying stay down, but he felt that he just couldn't do that.
"It sounds like you could use a bit of my power... Naruto," a voice muttered inside Naruto's mind as Naruto looked around in surprise.
"Who said that?" Naruto said aloud as Soi Fon and Yoruichi looked down at him in confusion. "What do you want from me?"
"Naruto, why do I still remain in the depths of your soul?" the voice asked as Naruto didn't say anything. "Why don't you truly unleash my strength? Don't you know who I am? I have been reborn as your blade Naruto. But I still hold all of my... I mean our power... Unleash it Naruto. Cut this foolish girl down to pieces as we return to full power once again!"
"I would never hurt her like that!" Naruto screamed as the voice chuckled.
"Your past self would... Naruto," the voice lied. "We will not go into details now... This is not the time nor the place. But the next time we meet scum, you better summon me and know my name... For now I will indulge you and give you a bit of power to crush this rodent girl." As the voice said this, Naruto was suddenly overcome with a glorious red aura, his body feeling completely energized. Soi Fon gasped as Yoruichi smiled broadly.
"As I expected, his zanpakutō within him lends him power after sensing that he is in danger," Yoruichi thought as she watched Naruto's soul pressure increase drastically. "With this type of ability, his sword must be extremely powerful. Everyone was able to sense his soul pressure that day he was fighting in Area 78. With that type of power, he could do anything... And that means he could also be turned into a rogue. I must stop that from occurring at all costs..." Soi Fon rushed at him and punched him directly in the face as Naruto withstood the attack, not even flinching as he looked up at Soi Fon. The entire Squad 2 had gathered around now, watching in awe as Naruto grabbed Soi Fon's arm and slammed her into the ground. Soi Fon gasped as Naruto then grabbed her arm once more and tossed her to the side of him. Soi Fon decided to stop playing around, flash stepping as her foot touched the ground. She slammed her fist into Naruto's chin, Naruto withstanding the attack once more, as she continued to hit him across his body using her speed. Naruto snickered before he caught one of Soi Fon's attacks in mid air and looked her directly in the eye. He then tossed her into the air as he jumped up as well and collided his fist into Soi Fon's face. Soi Fon went crashing into the ground, sliding down the dirt violently as she winced in pain. Her face was bleeding now, some of the subordinates gasping in surprise.
"May I go all out Master Yoruichi?" Soi Fon asked as her body began to glow a white aura. Yoruichi nodded as Soi Fon prepared to use her shunpo abilities. Naruto watched in surprise as he was bombarded by a barrage of high powered attacks, not able to dodge as Soi Fon attacked him relentlessly without any mercy. Naruto took the attacks, not really being affected by them that much. The red aura was healing his body as he was being attacked, so most of the attacks were doing minimal damage. Soi Fon realized this, growling angrily as she attacked. Naruto looked at her with a blank expression as he held out his hand. As he did, a ball of purely concentrated energy appeared in his palm. As Soi Fon ran at him, she stopped on shock as the ball was thrown at her. Soi Fon didn't react quick enough to dodge, the ball enveloping her in a red light as it exploded.
"N-No..." Soi Fon stuttered as she looked down at her charred clothes and fell to her knees. "I wasn't expecting this to occur..." Naruto grinned, letting the power completely take over him. He walked up to her, holding out his hand as another ball of energy appeared in his palm. Soi Fon held her arm as she looked up in surprise, Naruto not holding anything back. Yoruichi flash stepped in front of Naruto and grabbed his arm as he prepared to shoot the ball.
"This match is over," Yoruichi announced as Naruto looked at her angrily. His eyes were a blood red color, a small slit in the middle of them. Yoruichi seen this, looking at him with widened eyes as he closed his eyes and passed out.
"Those eyes..." Yoruichi muttered as she looked down at Naruto. "Was that the influence of his zanpakutō?" As she contemplated this, Soi Fon pulled herself from the ground in embarrassment
"Master... I failed..." Soi Fon murmured as Yoruichi looked at her with a smile. "I allowed a child to defeat me in battle..."
"You shouldn't hide your feelings Soi Fon," Yoruichi said as she patted Soi Fon on the back. "You were excellent, but you were faced with a difficult opponent that I told you not to hold back on from the beginning. But don't worry about that. You and Naruto will have plenty of more times to train because I'm taking him on as my second apprentice. You as my first will also help him as well. Soi Fon, I want you to watch him as he grows up. There might be a time where I will not lead this squad and it will be up to your to fulfill my duties as captain. I want you to promise me that you will watch him understand?" Soi Fon looked down at Naruto, who was snoring slightly with a small smile. She felt a bit of jealousy, wanting to know why Yoruichi had such interest in this child. She felt honor that Yoruichi would want her to lead this team after she was not captain. But she also felt something different, something that kind of surprised her at a point. It was anger or anything, maybe respect for the boy. The boy had defeated her, this display of power, well, kind of making her think differently of him. He was able to gain Yoruichi's approval and now he was going to be her second apprentice. Soi Fon turned to Yoruichi and nodded.
"I will, but I don't trust this kid," Soi Fon answered as Yoruichi looked at her with a knowing smile.
"His next challenge will be his greatest one yet," Yoruichi commented as she looked down at the sleeping Naruto. "He will learn the art of shunpo and face off against the boy that is destined to become his eternal rival..."
Naruto looked up as he heard Ichigo give out a battle scream, Ichigo running at Uryū with no holds barred. Uryū grinned as he shot his arrows at Ichigo as he ran at him, Ichigo dodging them as they went at him. He swung mightily at Uryū, Uryū ducking away as Ichigo continued to swing. Uryū was getting bombarded, not expecting Ichigo to go on the offensive like this. He jumped back as he shot an arrow at Ichigo's forehead, Ichigo using his sword to deflect it before he dropped his sword and jumped at Uryu. Uryū looked in shock as he was punched in the jaw, Ichigo knocking him to the ground. Uryū shook himself as he pulled himself from the ground, picking up his glasses that had been knocked off his face and putting them back on.
"OK, so you are good," Uryū said as a smile crawled onto his face. "How about we see how good you really are then?" As Uryū said this, he pulled a pill like item from his pocket and showed this to Ichigo.
"If I break this tablet, this will unleash countless Hollows into this area," Uryū explained as Naruto looked at him with widened eyes.
"Why would you want to do something as foolish as that?" Naruto shouted as Uryue.
"It's quite simple really," Uryū answered as he looked at the item in his palm. "To prove to you that Quincies are better than Shinigami. Now then..." Uryū crushed the tablet in his palm, dropping the remains to the ground.
"Whoever has more Hollow kills win Soul Reapers," Uryū announced as he walked away. "And please, don't cheat. I will know if you do anyway..." Uryū chuckled to himself as he walked away, Rukia and Chad coming up from the side of him.
"What's going on here guys?" Rukia asked as the ground began to shake as if an earthquake was coming.
"Uh-Oh..." Naruto muttered as he looked up in the sky, the sky turning black. "This might be annoying..."
"Chad, over there!" Rukia screamed as Chad dodged a swipe from the Hollow, slamming his fist into the Hollow's face for the fourth time that day. The Hollow roared with anger, aware that this man couldn't even see him and was easily overpowering him. The Hollow began to think of a plan, knowing that if he sustained any more damage, he would eventually succumb to this human. As he watched Rukia point out where he was going, the Hollow figured out a plan. Chuckling darkly, the Hollow dove at Rukia, Rukia not expecting the monster to do this. As she prepared to use a kido spell, the Hollow slapped her away, Rukia getting slammed into a fence. The Hollow snickered as he picked Rukia up by the torso and held her high in the air.
"If you can hear me you big idiot, here is the deal," the Hollow hissed as it looked at Chad, who was looking up at the seemingly floating Rukia with widened eyes. "You will back off and give me the bird for breakfast and I might not drop this little ***** and make her splatter all over the pavement..." Rukia looked down at Chad as Chad looked up at the Hollow, able to see it slightly now. Chad was able to hear its words, the words angering him. His body began to slightly glow a white aura as Chad wrenched his arm back. He ran at the Hollow, the Hollow beginning to chuckle. As the Hollow chuckled, Chad slammed his entire arm into the Hollow's chest, his arm tearing completely through the Hollow's chest. The Hollow stopped chuckling as it looked down at the hole that surfaced on his chest and roared in anger. He prepared to chuck Rukia into the ground as Chad gave the Hollow's arm a karate chop, the arm getting disconnected from its body. Rukia went flying to the ground, screaming as Chad dove and caught her. Rukia sighed happily as the Hollow continued to scream loudly.
"I WILL KILL YOU BOTH!" the Hollow screamed as Rukia and Chad looked at each other in unison. Rukia stepped back as Chad went running at the Hollow, the Hollow running at Chad. Chad jumped into the air and brought his fist down into the Hollow's mask, the Hollow's face imploding from the attack. The Hollow screamed in pain as it was destroyed, the Hollow's body exploding as it's mask was destroyed. Chad took a deep breath and sighed as he looked over at Rukia.
"That was close wasn't it new girl?" Chad asked as Rukia nodded, in awe of this mysterious man's power. "Didn't you say that you were looking for Ichigo?"
"Oh yeah!" Rukia exclaimed as she looked around the area. "Which way is the fastest way to the school?"

"This match is over," Yoruichi announced as Naruto looked at her angrily. His eyes were a blood red color, a small slit in the middle of them. Yoruichi seen this, looking at him with widened eyes as he closed his eyes and passed out.
"Those eyes..." Yoruichi muttered as she looked down at Naruto. "Was that the influence of his zanpakutō?" As she contemplated this, Soi Fon pulled herself from the ground in embarrassment
"Master... I failed..." Soi Fon murmured as Yoruichi looked at her with a smile. "I allowed a child to defeat me in battle..."
"You shouldn't hide your feelings Soi Fon," Yoruichi said as she patted Soi Fon on the back. "You were excellent, but you were faced with a difficult opponent that I told you not to hold back on from the beginning. But don't worry about that. You and Naruto will have plenty of more times to train because I'm taking him on as my second apprentice. You as my first will also help him as well. Soi Fon, I want you to watch him as he grows up. There might be a time where I will not lead this squad and it will be up to your to fulfill my duties as captain. I want you to promise me that you will watch him understand?" Soi Fon looked down at Naruto, who was snoring slightly with a small smile. She felt a bit of jealousy, wanting to know why Yoruichi had such interest in this child. She felt honor that Yoruichi would want her to lead this team after she was not captain. But she also felt something different, something that kind of surprised her at a point. It was anger or anything, maybe respect for the boy. The boy had defeated her, this display of power, well, kind of making her think differently of him. He was able to gain Yoruichi's approval and now he was going to be her second apprentice. Soi Fon turned to Yoruichi and nodded.
"I will, but I don't trust this kid," Soi Fon answered as Yoruichi looked at her with a knowing smile.
"His next challenge will be his greatest one yet," Yoruichi commented as she looked down at the sleeping Naruto. "He will learn the art of shunpo and face off against the boy that is destined to become his eternal rival..."
Naruto looked up as he heard Ichigo give out a battle scream, Ichigo running at Uryū with no holds barred. Uryū grinned as he shot his arrows at Ichigo as he ran at him, Ichigo dodging them as they went at him. He swung mightily at Uryū, Uryū ducking away as Ichigo continued to swing. Uryū was getting bombarded, not expecting Ichigo to go on the offensive like this. He jumped back as he shot an arrow at Ichigo's forehead, Ichigo using his sword to deflect it before he dropped his sword and jumped at Uryu. Uryū looked in shock as he was punched in the jaw, Ichigo knocking him to the ground. Uryū shook himself as he pulled himself from the ground, picking up his glasses that had been knocked off his face and putting them back on.
"OK, so you are good," Uryū said as a smile crawled onto his face. "How about we see how good you really are then?" As Uryū said this, he pulled a pill like item from his pocket and showed this to Ichigo.
"If I break this tablet, this will unleash countless Hollows into this area," Uryū explained as Naruto looked at him with widened eyes.
"Why would you want to do something as foolish as that?" Naruto shouted as Uryue.
"It's quite simple really," Uryū answered as he looked at the item in his palm. "To prove to you that Quincies are better than Shinigami. Now then..." Uryū crushed the tablet in his palm, dropping the remains to the ground.
"Whoever has more Hollow kills win Soul Reapers," Uryū announced as he walked away. "And please, don't cheat. I will know if you do anyway..." Uryū chuckled to himself as he walked away, Rukia and Chad coming up from the side of him.
"What's going on here guys?" Rukia asked as the ground began to shake as if an earthquake was coming.
"Uh-Oh..." Naruto muttered as he looked up in the sky, the sky turning black. "This might be annoying..."
